Male/Female Roles (Opposing Viewpoints)

From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up-Issues of women's and men's societal roles and the future of gender relations are dissected by journalists, professors, authors, and others, representing contrasting schools of thought. Would marriages improve if women submitted to their husbands? Are women still oppressed? Do biological differences establish gender roles? These and other stimulating topics provide readers with ample material for research as well as thought-provoking perspectives. Each chapter and article are prefaced by a short, informative introduction and an author profile. The articles are reprinted or excerpted from previously published works largely from the past five years, and the original sources are noted in the bibliography. Discussion questions and contact information for related organizations are also included. The tightly packed format, occasional cartoons, and clear organization make this work efficient, accessible, and essential to most libraries.
