| A Sociology of Women: Intersection of Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Colonization (2nd Edition) by Prentice Hall One of the most thorough studies of women written thus far. | | Jane C. Ollenburger and her associates literally define the study of women's issues in this brilliantly-crafted book. Seldom has a writer blended the craft of academic research with concise story telling. One read through this book and your definition of "woman" and "feminism" is changed forever-a quite pleasant change, I might add. Well done, Ollenburger! | | A Sociology of Women: Intersection of Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Colonization (2nd Edition) by Prentice Hall Defines a sociology of woman as structured inequality. | | Some may find the title daunting, but this is a clear and thoughtful take on the status of women in society.The authors (according to the book there is one Ollenburger, not two) define a structured pattern of inequality, influenced not only by archaic sex roles, but by age, class, and age factors. Their unique perspective highlights their well-documented research. A strong argument for re-thinking the field of Sociology. | | A Sociology of Women: Intersection of Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Colonization (2nd Edition) by Prentice Hall Product Description | | KEY BENEFIT: Synthesizing the disciplines of sociology and women's studies, this book presents major theoretical frameworks on sex and gender stratification, taking a feminist sociological approach to the study of women in society to analyze women's positions within the institutions of work, education and the law. Integrates social class, race/ethnicity and gender as dimensions of equality across social issues. Explains basic sociological approaches, including functionalism, conflict theory and symbolic interactionism, and provides an overview of feminist theories. Analyzes trends in census data over the past two decades, and includes new sections on trends in women owned businesses and hate crimes. Discusses the global view of women in the labor force over the last three decades, and concludes with a section on Women and Aging that illustrates the compounded effects of the interconnections between class, race and gender issues on women as they progress through the course of life. For sociologists, social scientists, and those interested in women's studies. |
