Reviews
I dislike the general tone of this book. A lot of the information seems very skewed towards women's problems, and while that's important when considering gender studies it definitely lacks on development of themes regarding men. The focus is primarily women, followed by sexual identity, gender identity, and then men. It seems very unbalanced but the points made in the various chapters thus far are goods ones. Works well for the class I bought it for, I guess.
