Acclaimed scholars Judith Lorber and Lisa Jean Moore analyze the construction of gendered bodies in different contexts. Exploring a broad range of both longestablished and more cuttingedge topics in feminist studies, Lorber and Moore present scholarly research, offer information on relevant laws and political events, and point to directions for social change.Gendered Bodies, Second Edition, focuses on key themes that reveal how gendered relations, ideologies, and practices shape human bodies. At the same time, it shows how human bodies are linked to other significant axes of inequality based on racial ethnic group, disability, sexuality, class, culture, religion, age, and nation.

It also adds new references and a concluding chapter, Social Bodies in an Interconnected World.Gendered Bodies, Second Edition, is ideal for courses on the body, feminist theory, women and health, and the sociology of gender.
