"This collection features new and original research on the range of sexism still faced every day by women in US society. It documents oppression across ethnic, racial, class, and sexual orientation groups in a wide range of gendered spaces, including the home, the workplace, unions, educational institutions, and the Internet."

"Written in a jargon-free, student-accessible language, Judith Lorber traces continuities and convergences in recent feminist theories. The book is innovative in that it also introduces students directly to original theoretical writings through the inclusion of two short, excerpted readings from primary sources for each of the eleven feminist perspectives presented."
