Gender

"I recommend it with great enthusiasm; a delight to read."
Mary Evans, Times Higher Education

"Presenting the leading edge of gender theory and research, the second edition of Gender is the smartest and most compelling introduction to critical gender studies that is currently available. Connell remains a steady and reliable guide for the student of gender and society."
Steven Seidman, State University of New York at Albany

"This is an important and eminently readable introduction to 'gender', now updated to provide an even more useful guide to a complex, and increasingly global, interdisciplinary field. Connell's narrative style and abundant examples make it very accessible, but it never oversimplifies. She manages to keep in sight both social structure and human agency while tackling debates that span the personal and the political. Few texts are able to cover this much ground without sacrificing complexity, but Connell does it with great success."
Barbara Marshall, Trent University
