SOC 11 (Hirose) - Sociology of Gender: Books & Videos

Why Books?

A book can provide in-depth information about all aspects of a topic. Browse the table of contents for relevant chapters. If the table of contents is not detailed enough, check the index referring to the keywords you identified in your background reading. You may then just cite the chapters you use in your References list.
