Sex and Gender Hierarchies

A generation of feminist research has explored the extent to which the roles - and expectations - of women and men vary across cultures. In this volume, leading anthropologists reflect on the evidence and theories, broadening the conventional field of comparison to include female/male relationships among non-human primates and introducing fresh case studies which range from lemurs to hominids, from Japanese peasants to male strippers in Florida. They document the rich and often surprising diversity in sex and gender hierarchies among both human and non human primates.Miller, Barbara Diane is the author of 'Sex and Gender Hierarchies' with ISBN 9780521423687 and ISBN 0521423686.
