Features: This book aims to provide a sociological analysis and interpretation of women and family issues from a gender perspective. What does the improvement of women's status mean for the family? Should women who have achieved higher status still operate within the range limited by traditional gender norms? How will the gender roles, division of labor, rights, status, and relationships within the family change? What reactions will men and women have in the face of these changes? The society, culture, economy, and natural environment surrounding women and families are undergoing dramatic changes. How will these environmental changes affect women and families? These are the questions this book seeks to explore.
