      abstract = {"This indispensable volume provides an introduction to the  study of gender through an exploration of key terms that  are a part of everyday discourse in this vital subject.  Catharine R. Stimpson and Gilbert Herdt first provide a  careful account of the evolution of the study gender and  its relation to women's and sexuality studies, and the  twenty-one essays that follow span the study of gender and  sexuality across the humanities and social sciences. Each  essay presents the history of a given term - from bodies to  utopia - and explains the conceptual importance it carries  and the kinds of critical work it can be made to do.  Distinguished contributors discuss concepts such as desire,  identity, justice, kinship, love, race, and religion,  revealing the unexpected histories, problems, and  possibilities that each term opens up. The result is an  essential reference for studying gender in many  disciplinary contexts." --},
