Framed by Gender

How Gender Inequality Persists in the Modern World

Beschreibung

The endurance of gender inequality, despite many factors that work against it, remains a puzzle. Framed by Gender presents a new way to understand gender inequality, showing how commonly held beliefs about gender differences are used to organize interactions and thereby introduce inequalities into new social arrangements and organizations as they emerge.
