Since the 1990s, the work of Sarah Fenstermaker and Candace West has revolutionized our understanding of gender and the notion of difference. In this volume, anthologised works have been collected along with new essays to provide a complete understanding of this topic of tremendous importance to scholars in sociology, women's studies and other social sciences. With a foreword by scholar, Dorothy Smith, and with pieces by Barrie Thorne, Howard Winant, and Patricia Hill Collins among others, this collection should serve a useful guide for gender and difference scholars.
