Book Summary
The purpose of this work is to introduce students to theories, research and pragmatic information that demonstrates the multiple, often interactive ways in which gender images of masculinity and femininity is shaped within contemporary culture. Theories introduced in opening chapters are then used to explore how communication reflects cultural views of gender and shapes individual gender and identities in particular contexts, including families, schools, media, the workplace, friendships, romantic intimacies, and institutions such as the jurisprudential system.
