Beskrivning

Gender in a Transitional Era addresses a range of issues relevant in current gender and sexuality studies scholarship which span many disciplines. The contributors prioritize the critical thinking that continues to support the notion that we, as a society, still have a ways to go toward full gender equality in all spheres of life. This collection positions marginal voices at the center of complex gender issues in today’s society. Broad thematic topic areas include parental identities, advice, and self-help; gender performances and role expectations in media; interacting within organizational and social spaces; and tensions and negotiations on politics, health, and feminisms. Though there is still much work to be done concerning an array of gender equality issues, scholars in this collection interrogate a transitional era of gender in which changes are evident, yet challenges persist.

Each chapter is written with original research, which makes this book an important addition to scholarship in many areas of study. This text would make a great supplement for an upper division undergraduate course or a graduate-level course. . . .This book is well organized and captures the essence of gender in a transitional era. . . .[The text] offers a unique collection of research on important gender issues that are not found in gender textbooks. This book focuses on very specific instances of gender in a transitional era, which is a strength of the book because it offers various perspectives of specific gender issues. I envision this book becoming an ongoing collection of editions adding more valuable research to gender education.
