Sinossi

Rather than providing definitive answers, this unique book exposes readers to new material that will lead them to question their assumptions.  Author Robin Ryle uses both historical and cross-cultural approaches—as well as a focus on intersectionality and transgender issues—to help students understand the socially constructed nature of gender.  Debunking ideas of what is normal and abnormal, this provocative book explores the core theories and topics of the course while also incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, feminism, and queer theory.
