Gender, Culture, and Physicality: Paradoxes and Taboos

By Helen Sterk and Annelies Knoppers

Gender, Culture and Physicality explores and challenges cultural obstacles associated with gendered meanings given to physicality, or bodies in action. The authors argue that these meanings reflect cultural attitudes toward women and men and shape people's choices, but can be changed through conscious "degendering."
