Gender is an often misunderstood subject area, even within the
discipline even to those who teach and write about it. One of my
presenters, when she first approached me to present at the
conference, asked, What does my paper really have to do with
gender? To me the answer was obvious; everything has to do with
gender. Gender is everywhere from the cradle to the grave. What
color blanket are we given at birth? What clothes are we laid out
in at death? We are bombarded with advertisements specifically
targeted at our gender, either male, female, or somewhere in
between. We are judged by our gender, which is often synonymous
with our sex, although in many of the presentations through the
years it is becoming evident that more and more people understand
the difference. Our clothing, food, entertainment, and reading
material are all tied to gender, in one form or another. Gender is
like the air. It is all around us, seldom thought of, but always
present. In an area that spans literature, politics, sex, religion,
and personal choices it is hard to get finite and clear cut
delineations. The contributors are the main focus here and I have
just been the ringmaster of this incredible circus of ideas.
Without them this could never have gone to press and it is all our
hopes that you enjoy the volume and take something away from it
that you did not anticipate.
