- Summary
- "Every aspect of life in the United States is - and has long been - influenced by gender. Women and men have experienced life differently, in terms of their rights and responsibilities within families and outside the home. Social scientists use the term "gender roles" to refer to the expectations for behavior (and to a certain extent, personality traits) associated with being female or male. Gender roles are socially constructed; that is, they are not biologically determined. Expectations for the behavior and personality characteristics of men and women vary across time and place. These expectations are buttressed by the structure of each society. Built into laws and policies, as well as religious texts, the institutions of every society strongly shape the opportunities and limitations associated with gender. As societal institutions change, gender roles change accordingly. Factors that have influenced gender roles throughout American history include religion, the economic base, technology, legislation and Supreme Court decisions, and demographic trends. Unexpected events such as wars and natural disasters can also influence changes in gender roles; sometimes these effects are short-lived, but at other times they are more permanent." --Introduction (page xiii)
