Constructing Gendered Bodies

Interest in the sociological study of the body has increased dramatically in the 1990s. This book builds on this work by bringing together theory and research which examines the social and cultural processes involved in the construction of gendered bodies and sexual practices. Contributors explore these issues in a variety of settings ranging from the workplace and leisure industry to the social regulation of medicine.Backett-Milburn, Kathryn is the author of 'Constructing Gendered Bodies' with ISBN 9780333774618 and ISBN 0333774612.
