{"product_id":"gender-on-planet-earth-ann-oakley-9781565847682","title":"Gender on Planet Earth: Arguments on Abortion\/Book and 2 Cassettes","description":"Influential author and social scientist Ann Oakley argues that men and women have inherited and reinforce a system of gender differences that has a destructive effect on them, their shared humanity, and the planet. By showing us how every aspect of our lives is dominated by male\/female power structures, she forces us to take a step back and see how and why gender inequality has thrown our society out of balance.\u003cp\u003eIn Gender on Planet Earth, Oakley argues that the persistence of traditional gender values prevents us from leading more ethical and humane lives. Governed by \"delusional systems\" such as psychoanalysis and sociobiology, we assume that the imbalance of the sexes is the inevitable consequence of our genes, psyches, and unchangeable economic motives. Drawing from a broad array of literature, Oakley combines personal narrative with social commentary and eye-opening statistics to provide a provocative account of gender today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Oakley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565847687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565847682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 6.00w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2002 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2002 pg. 1827\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2003\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ann Oakley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44634552467711,"sku":"9781565847682","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c60facf-b479-4db9-80c4-dd25ddbc9836.jpg?v=1703589858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-on-planet-earth-ann-oakley-9781565847682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
