Reviews and Awards

"Gender Through the Prism of Difference is among the most comprehensive books available. Not only does it include a terrific range of authors and research methods, but the substantive topics themselves are incredibly timely. It was the first book I ever used to teach gender and I haven't switched."--Billy James Ulibarrí, University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley

"The intersectional nature of Gender Through the Prism of Difference is excellent. Rather than merely addressing 'men vs. women,' this book examines the ways in which race, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, class, age, and other dimensions of inequality influence constructions of gender and the gendered experiences of individuals."--Erin Anderson, Washington College

"Gender Through the Prism of Difference has excellent coverage; the articles are rich in theory and methods."--Jaita Talukdar, Loyola University New Orleans
