What is The Gendered Society Reader about?

<br>The battle between the sexes has raged on for centuries; however, are men and women really from different planets? In <em>The Gendered Society Reader</em>, Fifth Edition, coeditors Michael Kimmel and Amy Aronson pull together an array of dynamic voices--both male and female, classic and contemporary--to examine various interpretations of gender. These lively, in-depth readings explore gender discourse over a wide range of disciplines, focusing primarily on two central issues: difference and domination. Carefully balanced to reflect the diversity of its subject, this text addresses provocative and fundamental questions including:<p>* How are males and females different?<br>* What do these differences mean?<br>* How do various cultures and religions interpret gender?<br>* Why do societies continue to differentiate people on the basis of gender?<br>* Why is it that almost every known society is based on male domination?</p><p>New to this Edition<br>* A new section on politics<br>* Longer reading introductions<br>* New selections</p><p>Michael Kimmel's textbook, <em>The Gendered Society</em>, Fifth Edition (OUP, 2013), provides a perfect complement for classroom use.</p>
