Gender and Agency

By Lois McNay

Book Overview

This book reassesses theories of agency and gender identity against the backdrop of changing relations between men and women in contemporary societies. McNay argues that recent thought on the formation of the modern subject offers a one-sided account of agency, which underplays the creative dimension present in the responses of individuals.
