Comprehensive, and using a critical approach, the authors provide good scope and depth on a range of gender experiences embedded in our social institutions. Most noteworthy is that the text endorses space for various positions and viewpoints to be valid and individual, while also developing a critical lens for examining gender in family, work, and education. This is something students of all levels will find informative and valuable.
It is not often when students say THANK YOU for adopting a book, and talk about the parts they enjoyed that were not connected to a question for an exam, but to questions that have had for their own lives. This is that book. It challenges them, engages them, and opens their minds. It has elevated the discussions in the courseroom and the classroom.
