Appropriate as the core text in gender courses at the university level in sociology, women's studies, and anthropology departments. Also suitable for gender courses at the college level in liberal studies, social sciences, and community services departments.
Unlike most gender issues texts, Gender in Canada is comprehensive and does not limit itself to feminist and women's issues. The text takes a decidedly sociological approach in covering a broad range of topics. The engaging and lively writing style has been highly praised by both students and professors. Gender in Canada is the most up-to-date and readable text on the subject of gender, written from a Canadian perspective.
