Sandra Lipsitz Bem

Sandra Lipsitz Bem was a prominent American psychologist and feminist. She is best known for her work on gender roles and the concept of "gender schema theory," which suggests that individuals learn and internalize gender roles from their culture. Bem challenged traditional views of gender, advocating for a more fluid understanding that goes beyond binary categories. Her influential ideas have contributed to discussions on gender identity, equality, and societal expectations, helping to reshape how we view and understand gender in both psychological and social contexts.
