The Gendered Society (by Michael Kimmel)

"The Gendered Society" by Michael Kimmel explores how gender influences social structures, relationships, and individual identities. It examines how societal norms and expectations create distinct roles for men and women, shaping behaviors and opportunities. Kimmel discusses the ways gender inequality persists, from workplace disparities to cultural stereotypes, and highlights the importance of understanding these dynamics to foster equality. The book emphasizes that gender is a social construct rather than purely biological, encouraging awareness of how societal patterns reinforce gendered differences and inequalities.
