`Lively and impressive. I can easily imagine this text being used by both gender and women's studies undergraduates and postgraduates. In particular it will enable students to get a sense of how older and more contemporary theoretical movements and debates relate to one another' - Lisa Adkins, Department of Sociology, University of Manchester</p>
</p>
Part of a new `Key Concepts' series published by SAGE, Key Concepts in Gender Studies offers 1,500 word expositions of 50 topics central to the field.</p>
</p>
Jane Pilcher and Imelda Whelehan's introduction gives an account of gender studies - what it is and how it originated. Their selection of topics is authoritative and the 50 entries reflect the complex, multi-faceted nature of the field in an accessible dictionary format.</p>
</p>
Each of the 50 key concepts:</p>
· begins with a concise definition</p>
· includes illustrations of how the concept has been applied within the field</p>
· offers examples which allow a critical re-evaluation of the concept </p>
· is cross-referenced with the other key concepts </p>
· makes further reading suggestions.</p>
</p>
The level of detail offered encourages understanding of gender studies without sacrificing depth detail and critical evaluation essential to convey the complexity of the issues dealt with. As such, the book appeals both to undergraduate and postgraduate students across a range of social science disciplines. </p>
</p>
50 Key Concepts in Gender Studies gives testimony to the health of gender studies and related disciplines and looks forward to an ever-shifting dynamic of debates and ideas.

- "The domestic (or household) division of labour refers to the distribution between family members of those responsibilities and tasks necessary for the ongoing maintenance of a domestic home and of the people who live in it."
- "This domestic work/labour undertaken by women is unpaid, is mostly (though not always) performed within the home, and is necessary for the day-to-day maintenance of the household and of its members"
- "Using Marxist theories, feminists argued that what women do within the home, although unpaid, is ‘work’ or ‘labour’; in other words, a form of productive activity like men’s waged labour.A range of feminist theories developed in an attempt to explain the traditional domestic division of labour.

- "According to Hartmann, the lower wages earned by women in their jobs ‘keep women dependent on men because they encourage women to marry. Married women must perform domestic chores for their husbands . . . This domestic division of labour, in turn, acts to weaken women’s position in the labour market"
- "......there is a ‘mutual accommodation’ between patriarchy and capitalism, which results in a ‘vicious circle’ of disadvantage for women."
- "In contrast to Hartmann’s ‘dual system’ identification of both capitalism and patriarchy, Delphy and Leonard (1992) focus on patriarchy in their explanation of the domestic division of labour. They claim that ‘women’s continuing subordination in Western society is due in large measure to men’s explo"
- "Women’s major responsibility for unpaid household work has been shown to continue, even when their men partners are themselves unemployed (Morris 1985; Wheelock 1990), or when both partners work full time (Brannen and Moss 1991; Gershuny 1997; Kiernan 1992; Pahl 1984)."
