Summary:
"In this book, Cynthia Eller delves into the twin thickets of gender
theory and everyday experience to ask how we decide who is a woman,
and why we find the answer important. Is a woman defined by her
anatomy? Does she perceive the world differently than men? Is it her
behavior that somehow marks her as inescapably female? Or is it a
matter of how others evaluate her? Eller's answers demonstrate that
the question is far more complicated, and its effects more
pernicious, than it might at first appear."--BOOK JACKET.
