Description:

What Gender Is, What Gender Does provides a forceful new paradigm for
considering genders. With depth and insight, Judith Roof demonstrates how the
persistent conflation of gender and sexual difference is, on the one hand, a
simple taxonomic urge and, on the other, a cover that offers the security of
identity in place of the frustrations and fears of the real asymmetries of personal
power dynamics.
