Gender Lens Series, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers                      Click here to order titles

Editors  Barbara Risman, Judith Howard, & Joey Sprague
The Gender Lens Series has been conceptualized as a way of encouraging the development of a sociological understanding of gender. A "gender lens" means working to make gender visible in social phenomena; asking if, how and why social processes, standards, and opportunities differ systematically for women and men. It also means recognizing that gender inequality is inextricably braided with other systems of inequality. The Gender Lens Series is committed to social change directed toward eradicating these inequalities.
