Women's Social Standing - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

What is social class and are we all members of a social class? Such questions as these are usually asked about men. If women are considered at all it is usually as an appendage to one of the men in their lives. It would be astonishing if female social scientists did not complain as a result. The ensuing debates are but of no use to those who need to analyse data. This book, instead, focuses on the methodological issue of the appropriate form of a social classification. In so doing the authors show the vagaries of being unassigned, the power of auxology and give a fresh slant to the theoretical debate. This book is designed to be of interest to students of sociology, women's studies, methodological and social research. Roy Carr-Hills's books include "Crime, Police and Criminal Statistics" and "The Development and Exploitation of Empirical Birthweight Standards".
