About the Book
In this second edition of her widely praised book, Gender, Harriet Bradley offers an introduction to the concept of gender and the theoretical approaches developed within gender studies. Gender remains a prominent concern among academics, policymakers, and the public alike, yet the concept of gender is complex and continually evolving. Bradley delves into key questions such as: What exactly do we mean by gender? How can we understand gender differences? How are gender relations changing today? What are the new paths of femininity and masculinity?
Drawing on life narratives, Bradley investigates processes of gendering in three central spheres of contemporary life: production, reproduction, and consumption. The book underscores the central role of gender in everyday life and examines how our understanding of gender is shaped by changing political contexts. The second edition also brings in the latest scholarship, political developments, and economic data, with a stronger focus on intersectionality, hybrid identities, and the complexities of masculinity and femininity in light of new feminist movements.
This updated and accessible book is a valuable resource for students across the social sciences and anyone interested in understanding the evolving relationships between women and men.
