To 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 collection of essays, which has
become firmly established as a classic, by writers on areas such as
England, Greece, Mongolia, Africa. The essays consider the
structural position of women, how they are defined by reference to
physiological and social markers, and how they are required to
behave, and present and assess certain theories about women by
anthropologists, sociologists, ethnologists, neurologists and
psychologists. The essays also consider some 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.
