Gendering Bodies explains how the social world shapes our physical
bodies and how our bodies shape the social world. In this
remarkable investigation into contemporary ideas of gender,
sociologists Crawley, Foley, and Shehan argue that bodies are
constantly being gendered, or encouraged to participate in
(heterosexual) gender conformity. This engendering influences
nutrition practices, work and employment choices, dieting, working
out, cosmetic surgery, sexual practices, and training-or lack
thereof-in sports or fitness. This is an accessible, yet
comprehensive, sociological inquiry into a theory of the gendered
body.
