《性别与生命历程》是一本跨学科论文集，论述了妇女和男子的生活，因为他们受到历史、文化、人口、经济和政治分层以及伴随成熟和衰老的生物心理过程的影响。本书涵盖三大主题。第一部分从广泛的历史角度审视性别和生命历程，包括生物生态学和灵长类动物学方面的最新工作摘要，以及对经历从农业主义向工业主义过渡的社会中角色组织方面持续存在的文化和性别差异的分析。其他文章跟踪产业工人的家庭收入来源的变化，在整个生命周期，并审查寿命过渡的时间和性别差异。第二部分探讨性别差异在各种情况下：心理，psychobiologi-cal，和社会学。Alice Rossi的阿萨总统演讲回顾了最近关于父亲和母亲的工作，并认为这种性别差异的社会学解释需要进化理论和神经科学的概念来补充。三篇文章涉及性别和经济：一篇展示了性别分层如何在法国工业化的早期阶段站稳脚跟，另一篇展示了现代经济中性别分层的持久性，第三篇侧重于与性别和政治权力有关的意识形态。第三部分审查了当代社会中老年人的各个方面，包括一个解释性社会科学的论点，它使用不同的方法来提高我们描述和解释老年男女生活的许多方面的能力;审查了用于研究老年人口随时间变化的方法;以及概述了现有的数据集，这些数据集允许对老年人进行进一步的队列和纵向分析。最后的论文审查了影响老年人的社会政策，特别注意到大多数高龄老人是妇女这一事实，以及生命历程大大延长对家庭和亲属关系的影响。“性别与生命历程“是一个国家的最先进的评估目前正在做的最好的工作”对性别和年龄的成熟因素，是必不可少的阅读任何人有兴趣在成人发展和性别角色。
Gender and the Life Course is an interdisciplinary collection of essays on the lives of women and men as they are affected by history, culture, demography, economic and political stratification, and the biopsychological processes that attend maturation and aging. The book covers three major topics. Part I, which examines gender and the life course in broad historical perspective, includes a summary of recent work in biological ecology and primatology, and an analysis of the persistence of cultural and gender differences in role organization in societies undergoing the transition from agrarianism to industrialism. Other essays trace the changes in sources of household income of industrial workers over the life span, and review temporal and gender differences in life span transitions. Part II examines gender differentiation in a variety of contexts: psychological, psychobiologi-cal, and sociological. Alice Rossi's ASA Presidential Address reviews recent work on fathering and mothering, and argues that sociological explanations of such gender differences need supplementation by concepts from evolutionary theory and the neurosciences. Three essays deal with gender and economy: one shows how gender stratification took hold in the early stages of industrialization in France, another demonstrates the persistence of gender stratification in modern economies, the third focuses on ideology in relation to gender and political power. Part III examines various aspects of the aged in contemporary society, including an argument for an jnterpretive social science that uses diverse methods to improve our ability to describe and interpret many facets of the lives of elderly men and women; a review of the methodology used to study changes in the aged population over time; and an overview of existing data sets that permit further cohort and longitudinal analyses of the aged. The final essays review social policies as they affect the elderly, with particular attention to the fact that most very old people are women, and the impact of the greatly expanded life course for family and kin relations. "Gender and the Life Course "is a state-of-the-art assessment of the best work currently being done' on gender and age a's maturational factors and is essential reading for anyone interested in adult development and gender roles.
