Subtle Sexism

by Nijole V. Benokraitis

The chapters in this reader demonstrate how subtle sexism devalues women, dismisses many of their accomplishments, and limits their effectiveness in a variety of social and professional settings. The contributors to this insightful work hail from both the United States and Canada and include faculty from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. This book is written to be a catalyst for stimulating class discussion as it encourages students and faculty to view gender inequity through wider lenses. Its accessibility and avoidance of excessive jargon makes Subtle Sexism an ideal choice for a wide number of courses including women's studies, social work, political science, business administration, sociology, and communication.
