Title
index
This book in the series applies feminist theory to the concept of gender, and examines how gender is constructed, how it is built on but is distinct from sex, how we are taught to ‘genderize’ ourselves, and how gender works in society, interacting with patriarchy, class, race and caste. V. Geetha writes in a clear, scholarly yet accessible style of the pervasiveness and also the invisibility of gender. She examines why the patriarchal mind is so nervous of the urge in men and women to cross gender lines. Finally, she looks at the payoffs of gender, and how it works in insidious ways in our daily life to limit and straitjacket the lifechoices of both sexes. publishing details |
