"The book looks at the issue of the body using a social scientific lens. Lorber and Moore are attuned to issues of how race and class influence the construction, interpretation, and experiences of gendered bodies. The chapters are wonderfully thorough and incorporate more relevant topics than I ever would have thought possible."

Ivy Kennelly, George Washington University

"This is a well-written book that will engage students more than the average text. Rather than being a traditional survey, Gendered Bodies deals with issues as embodied issues. The excerpts are interesting and fresh, and the end-of-chapter material is particularly useful, especially the critical summaries."

Charlotte Dunham, Texas Tech University

"This is a timely, provocative book. Lorber and Moore cover the life course of gendered bodies from the perspectives of women and men, as well as the intersections of gendered bodies with abilities, racial/ethnic identities, sexualities, and social classes."

Jennifer Rothchild, University of Minnesota, Morris
