Summary

The Gendered Society provides readers with a sense of the different discourses on gender. The readings cover a number of disciplines including the biological sciences, anthropology, cross-culture studies, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, and gender studies. Kimmel focuses on the two major issues in the study of gender -- difference and domination -- asking such fundamental questions as: How are males and females different? What do these differences every mean? Why does society differentiate people on the basis of gender?
