What Is Feminist Sociology?

Description

What Is Feminist Sociology? provides a comprehensive overview of feminist approaches to sociological inquiry and analysis. Jo Reger guides readers through the core concepts, theoretical frameworks, and methodologies that define feminist sociology as a distinct and vital field of study.

The book explores how feminist sociology challenges traditional sociological perspectives by centering women’s experiences, examining gender as a fundamental social structure, and investigating how power operates through gender relations. Reger demonstrates the practical applications of feminist sociology in understanding workplace dynamics, family structures, social movements, and institutional practices.

Designed for students and general readers alike, this volume illustrates why feminist sociology matters for understanding contemporary social issues. It addresses key debates within the field, highlights influential feminist scholars, and shows how feminist sociology continues to evolve and influence broader sociological practice and social change efforts.
