Author/Contributor(s): Eller, Cynthia Publisher: Beacon Press Date: 8/1/2004 Binding: Paperback Condition: NEW In this smart, intimate, and conversational book, Cynthia Eller delve s into the twin thickets of gender theory and everyday experience to ask how we decide who is a woman-and why we find the answer important. Is a woman defined by her anatomy? Does she perceive the world differently than men? Is it her behavior that somehow marks her as inescapably female? Or is it a matter of how others evaluate her? Eller's answers demonstrate that the question is far more complicated, and its effects more pernicious, than it might at first appear. Show more
