Description
Women's and Gender Studies: Intersectional Voices provides students with a crucial introduction to key approaches, topics, and concerns with the discipline through a carefully curated selection of readings. The anthology celebrates a diversity of influential feminist thought and focuses on a broad range of topics using analyses sensitive to the intersections of gender, race, white privilege, ability, class, age, and queer representations and experiences in diverse social spaces.
The book features essays, narratives, poems, and other contributions to explore how individuals research, analyze, and perceive gender differences. The readings help students examine various social structures in a historical context and analyze gender relations, including gender role socialization, women's work in and out of the home, limitations of traditional gender roles, white privilege and antiracism, queer politics, and gender-based crime and violence in the U.S. and internationally. Discussion questions throughout the anthology invite students to think critically and reflect on the material.
Women's and Gender Studies is designed to serve as an enlightening and inclusive introduction to courses in the discipline.
