Sex and Gender: An Introduction Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm usually very skeptical of doing a great deal of online purchasing. TRUST & SATISFACTION are usually my two main concerns. I purcased a book for my class and it was delivered just as promised. Packaging was great. Book was in great condition. Unfortunately because there was no picture, I assumed that the correct book was being sent. I selected the 5th edition (which is what I needed) but received the 2nd edition. I may have to return it if the information needed doesn't coincide with material in syllabus. Other than that no problem.....I will continue to use.

Makes your re-evaluate your life experiences by asking if you would considered yourself privilege or oppressed?
