Paradoxes of Gender

In this innovative book a well-known feminist and sociologist-who is also the founding editor of Gender & Society-challenges our most basic assumptions about gender. Judith Lorber argues that gender is wholly a product of socialization subject to human agency organization and interpretation and that it is a social institution comparable to the economy the family and religion in its significance and consequences. Calling into question the inevitability and necessity of gender she envisions a society structured for equality where no gender racial ethnic or social class group is allowed to monopolize positions of power.
