Gender is one of the most important topics in the field of sociology, and as a system of social practices it inspires a multitude of theoretical approaches. This book offers an introductory overview of gender theory and research. It treats gender as a multilevel system operating at the individual, interactional, and institutional levels.
An excellent, theoretically complex, and clear introduction to the sociology of genderIt is consistently interesting, weaving theory and research to illuminate fundamental questions and complicated contemporary issues. I would use it, with pleasure. Joan Acker, University of Oregon Exceptional for its breadth and brevity, this book shows unique respect for students as sociological thinkers. Wharton engagingly presents up-to-date theoretical tools of gender analysis to help students explore the difficult, current questions posed by sociologists of gender.
