Sondra Farganis

4.9/5 (15521 ratings)

Description:The ideas of contemporary social theorists who treat the subject of women are not socially neutral, but reflect the concepts and values of the social context from which they emerge. Analyzing the writings of these theorists as the products of a particular time and place yields a new and valuable perspective on the process through which our society has come to view the feminine character.The Social Reconstruction of the Feminine Character is a sociological analysis of the conceptualization of the "feminine" in the writings of contemporary social theorists. It uses the perspective of the sociology of knowledge to critique selected writings about women in order to understand the theoretical background that helps shape society's view of women. Dr. Farganis is concerned with the social dimension of thought and how ideas about women are historically grounded.

Included are discussions of the most important modern theorists of the feminine, including Viola Klein, Dorothy Dinnerstein, Shulamith Firestone, Alice Rossi, E. O. Wilson, Nancy Chodorow, Jean Elshtain, Carol Gilligan, Alison Jaggar, and Evelyn Fox Keller.This stimulating and thought-provoking book brings to light the ways in which views on women are shaped by social realities.
