Gender, Power, and Society explores the multifaceted relationship between gender and power in contemporary society. Bringing together a diverse set of scholars who apply innovative theoretical frameworks, including intersectionality and feminism, chapters examine how power is distributed and exercised in various social structures, institutions, and interpersonal interactions. Authors investigate the manifestations of power at the macro, meso, and micro levels, addressing critical issues such as gender-based violence, sexual harassment, fertility decisions, and media representation. Exploring how economic, political, and legal forces intersect with gender, the edited collection uncovers the complex ways in which power operates in both overt and subtle forms, from universities and workplaces to new oil towns and Indian cinema.

Targeting scholars and students in gender studies, sociology, legal studies, and media studies, Gender, Power, and Society provides valuable insights for those seeking to understand the intersections of gender and power in contemporary society. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it essential reading for anyone engaged in research or education focused on gender-based inequality, social justice, and the broader implications of power.

Marcia Texler Segal is Professor of Sociology and Dean for Research Emerita, Indiana University Southeast, USA. Vasilikie (Vicky) Demos is Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Minnesota Morris, USA.
