Explanations of how identities are constructed are fundamental to contemporary debates in feminism & in cultural & social theory. Formations of Class & Gender demonstrates why class should be featured more prominently in theoretical accounts of gender identity & power. Beverley Skeggs identifies the neglect of class & shows how class & gender must be fused together to produce an accurate representation of power relations in modern society. The book questions how theoretical frameworks are generated for understanding how women live & produce themselves through social & cultural relations.
