Age, Gender and Sexuality through the Life Course: The Girl in Time (Routledge Research in Gender and Society)

Susan Pickard

4.9/5 (29156 ratings)

Description:Age, Gender and Sexuality through the Life Course argues that the gendered structure of temporality (defined in the dual sense of everyday time as well as age and stage of life) is a key factor underpinning the stalling of the gender revolution. Taking as its central focus the idealized young woman who serves as the mascot of contemporary success, this book demonstrates how the celebration of the Girl is (i) representative of social mobility, educational and professional achievement; (ii) possesses diligence, docility, and emotional intelligence and (iii) displays a reassuring sexuality and youthfulness - but is constructed from the outset to have a fleetingly short life span.Pickard undertakes a theoretical and empirical exploration of the contemporary female experience of education, work, motherhood, sexuality, the challenge of having-it-all. Furthermore, through additional analysis of the transitional 'reproductive regime' from youth into mid-life and beyond, this insightful monograph aims to demonstrate how age and time set very clear limits to what is possible and desirable for the female self; yet how the latter factors also, if used reflexively, can also provide the key means of resisting and challenging patriarchy.This book is aimed at a broad interdisciplinary audience located in gender studies, age studies, culture studies, sociology and psychology; accessible for advanced undergraduates and beyond.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
