Recenzje

"I fully recommend this new edition of Gender, which will allow new generations to follow critical theories about one of the fundamental dimensions of personal and collective life, from the most intimate to the search for a more egalitarian social order."Teresa Valdés, Gender Equality Observatory, Chile"Concise, comprehensive and international, Gender: In World Perspective is an ideal text for today's students. It covers gender theory, concepts and research from the basics to queering. Even gender specialists can learn from it."Judith Lorber, Professor Emerita, City University of New York
