"Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration, Fourth Edition serves as a point-of-departure for productive conversations about gender, and as a resource for exploring answers to many of those questions. Rather than providing definitive answers, this unique book exposes readers to some of the best scholarship in the field that will lead them to question many of their assumptions about what is normal and abnormal. Author Robyn Ryle uses both historical and cross-cultural approaches-as well as a focus on intersectionality and transgender issues-to help students understand the socially constructed nature of gender. With a focus on contemporary topics such as gender testing in sports, the #MeToo movement, the gender wage gap, and the inclusion of transgender discussions across the book, readers will be prompted to critically think about the past, present and future gender-related issues"-- Provided by publisher.
