This seminal work in anthropology presents a profound analysis of gender roles and their cultural construction across diverse societies.

Through compelling ethnographic examples, it illustrates how changing societal structures influence the very definitions of male and female, offering enduring insights into human nature and cultural variation. This influential study remains a cornerstone for understanding the complexities of gender in a global context.
