Feminist Frontiers Review

Feminist Frontiers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is a compilation of essays done by both male and female authors. It shows the diversity of topics, issues, and points of views of feminists. This book was my text book for Women's Studies 101 and I didn't have to read all of it for the class, but I found myself reading a lot of the other essays because the topic was interesting to me or I identified with it or it was a topic I wanted to know more about. It broadened my view of how feminists aren't just about equality for women, but for everyone including breaking stereotypes that men have to endure. I kept this book even after my class was over. I recommend this book to everyone !

The most widely used anthology of feminist writings and the first to incorporate issues of sexual orientation and sexual diversity, Feminist Frontiers has stood the test of time. With classic and contemporary readings that cut across disciplines and generational lines, Feminist Frontiers presents the full diversity of women's issues and experiences, exploring their similarities as well as their interconnected differences. Feminist Frontiers offers analyses of the causes and consequences of gender inequality in a global context and introduces students to feminist theory and methodology. A sociological analysis opens each of the four parts and eleven sections of the book. Boxed inserts featuring personal stories, news articles, and other items from popular culture complement the readings.

Sex and Gender: An Introduction Review

Sex and Gender: An Introduction

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.

This is a comprehensive introduction to sex and gender theories, research, and issues, focusing on social psychological and feminist perspectives. The book examines the similarities and differences between women and men, discusses where that knowledge comes from, and explains how that knowledge may itself be shaped and limited by cultural perceptions. This new edition has been thoroughly revised with up-to-date research citations for all chapters and more current examples.
