This timely book provides an overview to current thinking about gender in the social and behavioral sciences. Through an examination of existing literature in biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology (in Part I); an original analysis of the gendered worlds of family, education, and work (in Part II); and the gendered interactions of friendship and love, sexuality, and violence (in Part III); Kimmel makes three important claims about gender. First, he argues that women and men are far more in common with one another than they are different. Secondly, he believes that gender inequality is actually the cause of the differences between women and men. Third, he argues that gender is embedded in the organizations and institutions in which we daily interact. Kimmel's brief Epilogue looks ahead to gender relations in the next century--and in the next millennium.
