Product Description
Through a thorough examination of research evidence, Sara Delamont challenges what she identifies as a constant motif in much of the social science of the past fifteen years, that whereas women's expectations have changed over the last century, men's have not.
There is an enormous social science and wider literature on women, and a rapidly growing one on men and masculinity. The cliche that women have changed and men have not is well worn, yet no single text has established the truth behind this claim. Through a thorough examination of research evidence, this volume subjects that cliche to a tough, sceptical sociological analysis.
