What are the differences between the sexes? That is the question
that Ann Oakley set out to answer in this pioneering study, now
established as a classic in the field. To answer it she draws on
the evidence of biology, anthropology, sociology and the study of
animal behaviour to cut through popular myths and reach the
underlying truth. She demonstrates conclusively that men and women
are not two separate groups: rather each individual takes his or
her place on a continuous scale. She shows how different societies
define masculinity and femininity in different and even opposite
ways, and discusses how far observable differences are based on
biology and psychology and how far on cultural conditioning. Many
books have discussed these vital issues. None, however, have drawn
on such an impressively wide range of evidence or discussed it with
such clarity and authority. Now newly reissued with a substantial
introduction which highlights its continuing relevance, this work
will continue to inform and shape dialogues around sex and gender
for a new generation of scholars and students.
