简介:A candid look at gender, culture, and how we communicate...Julia T. Wood challenges students to consider how their views of men and women affect how they communicate and how they live their lives. Gendered Lives explores the crucial theories and the latest research in gender communication to help students think critically about gender and our society.
With the most up-to-date research, balanced perspectives of masculinity and femininity, a personal introduction to the field, and a conversational first-person writing style, Gendered Lives, Seventh Edition includes: a new discussion of relational aggression by girls, also called "girl bullying"; a thoroughly revised chapter on education that presents a current view of communication and gendered education issues by focusing first on the expectations and pressures affecting male and female students, and then on those affecting faculty of both sexes; revisions to the "Gendered Organizational Communication" chapter that accomodate new rulings on Title IX and affirmative action; greater attention to gender and communication in our global society; and a timely new discussion of gender issues in video games.
