Women, Men, and Society

This title provides a comprehensive analysis of gender inequality, addressing how sexism affects both men and women. The approach, which focuses on intersecting inequalities, illustrates how racism, social class, ageism and heterosexism can compound the consequences of gender inequality. Although it focuses primarily on women and men in the United States, international issues and data are incorporated throughout.
