Judith Lorber is professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and the Graduate School, City University of New York.
"A brilliant, compelling, and timely analysis of gender from a
critical feminist perspective."—Patricia Yancey Martin, The Ohio
State University
"An extraordinary book that will become a classic. It is impossible
to read this book and not rethink gender."—Barbara Katz Rothman,
Baruch College
"With remarkable intellectual breadth, Judith Lorber probes a
series of paradoxes to theorize about gender as an all-encompassing
social institution. This inclusive and compelling book will
transform our thinking about society as well as women and
men."—Maxine Baca Zinn, Michigan State University
"That gender is one of the central axes around which social life
revolves (like race or class) has become a social science truism.
But Judith Lorber goes further in this deeply thoughtful work.
Lorber claims gender is a central social institution, analogous to
the state or the market. Wide-ranging, provocative, and eloquently
argued, Paradoxes of Gender is one of those rare works that define
a field."—Michael Kimmel, Associate Professor, SUNY at Stony
Brook
