Second, Revised EditionTo what are we referring when we speak of
women? What is the nature of women in society; what is the nature
of women in society? These are the central questions of this
classic text which looks at areas ranging from England and Greece
to Mongolia and Africa. The authors - anthropologists,
sociologists, ethnologists, neurologists and psychologists -
consider the structural position of women; how they are defined by
reference to physiological and social markers, and how they are
required to behave. They also consider ways in which different
cultures identify and deal with such `natural' aspects of women as
virginity, sexuality and childbearing. The broad variety of
geographical perspectives reveals dissimilar as well as similar
ideas about women - in their use of language and of space,
matrifocality, and life trajectories.
