The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s
when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles,"
behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather
than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across
disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology,
psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged
alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased
visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought
awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences, while legal
battles, wage disparities, and health inequities continue to prove
gender's relevancy in today's world. In this book, Laura
Erickson-Schroth and Benjamin Davis guide readers through the
knowns and unknowns of gender, asking questions such as: What is
the difference between sex, gender identity, and gender expression?
Were ancient societies matriarchal? How different are male and
female brains, really? What role does language play in the ways we
think about gender? What do we know about sex and gender in
non-human species? What are the current frontiers in gender
equality? Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know (R) is an
easy-to-read guide that takes readers on a much-needed tour of
perspectives on gender and identity in the 21st century. The book
is written in a question-and-answer format, and Erickson-Schroth
and Davis cover topics such as current definitions; the history of
gender as concept; the role of biology, psychology, and culture on
gender; and gender norms over time and across the globe.
