This book is an introductory textbook on sexual politics and an original contribution to the reformulation of social and political theory. In a discussion of, among other issues, psychoanalysis, Marxism and feminist theories, the structure of gender relations, and working class feminism, the author has produced a work of synthesis and scholarship which should be of interest to students and professionals in sociology, politics, women's studies and to anyone interested in the field of sexual politics.

a serious, fully researched, insightful analysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender and Power: Society, the Person, and Sexual Politics (Paperback)
The book is highly readable, but it is most impressive in its suggestiveness -- repeatedly Connell identifies new avenues, new ways of looking at old issues, new discourses. There is nothing of the old repetitive pseudo-Jungian talk, and his explorations of new paths of males are very perceptive. After reading this book, the reader THINKS.
