Making the Difference

by Elaine Graham

This book examines the category of gender as it has been and is now understood in the social sciences and its pertinence for religion and theology. Graham's clear work draws on contemporary critical studies of gender (especially feminist scholarship, postmodern theory, and critical studies of men) to shed light on gender's profound import for the understanding of human culture and identity.
