Seidman and Theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book was assigned to me during a Human Sexuality class, and I must say that it was a great introduction to social constructionist theories of sexuality. It reads rather well, and gives insightful interviews and discussions about how sexuality is perceived in our society. I'd highly recommend it if your new to sexual theory/women's studies.
