Description

At a time where, after decades of progress in gender and sexual rights, people in many parts of the world are facing new forms of resistance and opposition to gender equality, this timely publication confirms the continuing importance and relevance of gender and women’s studies.

The fifth edition of this best-selling textbook provides a comprehensive overview of key issues and debates in gender and feminist theory. With fully revised chapters written by specialists across a range of core topics including sexuality, race, bodies, family, masculinity, methodologies and migration, this clearly written but rigorous collection examines contemporary debates and provides helpful examples and questions to consider.

Furthermore, it continues to reflect the shift from women’s studies to gender studies, incorporating coverage of masculinity throughout, as well as discussing live debates such as around global activism, transgender rights and the environment. It continues to be an indispensable resource for students, academics and anyone interested in this lively field.

New to this Edition:
- A new chapter on gender and migration
- Expanded discussion of transgender rights as well as masculinity studies
- Brings seven new contributors to the collection; with newly authored chapters on Gender and Environment, Gender and Education, Gender and Sexuality and Gender and Race
- Fully revised and updated with new material and new case examples
- Greater attention to intersectional approaches and international reach
