What Gender Is, What Gender Does

Author: Judith Roof
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press
Category: Social & Political Philosophy, Popular Culture, Gender Studies, Gender Groups, Sexual Behaviour
Age Group: 15+
Book Format: Paperback

What Gender Is, What Gender Does provides a forceful new paradigm for considering genders. With depth and insight, Judith Roof demonstrates how the persistent conflation of gender and sexual difference is, on the one hand, a simple taxonomic urge and, on the other, a cover that offers the security of identity in place of the frustrations and fears of the real asymmetries of personal power dynamics.
