Free Downloads Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration
A one-of-a-kind text designed to launch readers into a thoughtful encounter with gender issues Rather than providing definitive answers about gender, the new edition of this unique book, Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration, exposes readers to new material that will lead them to question their assumptions. 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. Debunking ideas of what is normal and abnormal, this provocative book explores the core theories and topics of the course, including the gender of sexuality, the gender of friendship and dating, the gender of media and popular culture, and the gender of politics and power.

I rented the e-version of this book for a class and now I wish I just bought it. Great for anyone taking Sociology or Gender Studies in college. Great book to reference as well. Really opened my viewed about what gender is.
This text is extremely verbose. The information is provided in a unique way, but the insertion of unnecessary comments makes getting through the chapters a real chore. If there's another edition of the book the editors should consider trimming the fat.
This was the textbook I had to read for my gender roles class. I actually read the entire thing and really enjoyed it. It wasn't boring at all and the material is really informative and interesting.
I like this book. I mean, yes I bought it for class, but it's written in a way that makes it easy to read and understand the concepts.
Using this book for my gender class at OSU-Tulsa. Gives good detailed information.
needed this for a college class and it was an informative book for sure
Book is in great condition- chapters are long and extensive
i wish I had known about this option years ago
