This volume examines, among other things, the significance of
food-centered activities to gender relations and the construction
of gendered identities across cultures. It considers how each
gender's relationship to food may facilitate mutual respect or
produce gender hierarchy. This relationship is considered through
two central questions: How does control of food production,
distribution, and consumption contribute to men's and women's power
and social position? and How does food symbolically connote
maleness and femaleness and establish the social value of men and
women? Other issues discussed include men's and women's attitudes
towards their bodies and the legitimacy of their appetites.
