"Lorber gives us a much needed and clear sighted assessment of what is and is not changing about the gender binary that says there are two and only two genders, and lays out the implications for eliminating gender inequality."Cecilia L. Ridgeway, Stanford University"For those interested in both the fragmentation and persistence of the gender binary, this short book is essential reading. The New Gender Paradox is engaging, thought-provoking, carefully researched, and well written. I highly recommend it!"James W. Messerschmidt, University of Southern Maine
