Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence Gendering Women is
an engaging and accessible account of how constructions of
femininity fundamentally affect women's mental wellbeing through
the life course. Led by women's life history accounts of growing up
and growing older in the north of England, this book shows how
experiences of becoming and being a woman - in family life,
education, employment, motherhood and situations of violence - both
enable and erode self confidence and esteem. The challenges to
women's mental wellbeing cut across age and class differences and
have profound impacts on the material conditions of women's lives
throughout the life course. This is in turn a driver of inequality
that is often under-recognised in mainstream policy. Based on
feminist and ethnographically informed research with over five
hundred women Gendering women provides a critical link between
gender theory and the lived realities of women's daily lives and
will appeal to students and academics in sociology and social
sciences.
