Preface
We wrote Gendered Lives for two reasons. First, we want to introduce students to a rich body
of research that informs us about the intricate connections among communication, gender,
and culture. Second, we think that learning about these connections empowers students
to make more informed decisions about how they personally enact gender, address gen-
der issues in their lives, and contribute to cultural attitudes, perspectives, laws, and policies
related to gender.
Since the first edition of this book appeared in the early 1990s, our understandings of
gender have changed as have issues related to gender. Society has acknowledged a greater
range of options for individuals—in the military, in the home, in professional life, in social
life, and in politics. During the past 25 years, society has become more accepting of gay, les-
bian, and transgender, or trans, identities; new women’s and men’s movements have emerged;
mass media have challenged some gender stereotypes while creating others; and social media
have added to the content and forms by which gender is continually enacted and negoti-
ated. Academic researchers have continued to map the ways that communication, gender,
and culture influence one another. This new edition responds to social changes in the United
States and around the world, as well as to feedback from students and faculty who generously
offered ideas for ways to improve this book.
We discuss this book’s origins and features in the Introduction (“Opening the Conversa-
tion,” pages 1–13). Here, we want to describe changes that make this edition different from
the last and identify supplementary resources available for students and instructors.

Up-to-Date Research
A final focus of this revision is updating research. Understandings of gender and issues
connected to it change at lightning speed. To keep up with these changes, a textbook must
be continuously updated to reflect the most current research and events. To ensure the
currency of Gendered Lives, we’ve incorporated more than 275 new references into this
edition.

PREFACE xvii
visit websites related to chapter content and to search online for videos and information
about concepts and ideas in the chapter. Fifth, at the end of each chapter, we suggest two to
four sources—films, articles, websites, and books. Our criteria for selecting these are that
(1) we consider them either classic or especially insightful, and (2) they are accessible to
undergraduate students.
In making these changes, we’ve avoided “page creep”—the tendency of books to grow
longer with each new edition because old material is not deleted to make room for new
material. We have eliminated dated references and coverage to make room for more cur-
rent research and coverage of timely topics. We hope the changes make this edition of
Gendered Lives a valuable resource for instructors and students who want to explore the
complex and fascinating ways in which communication, gender, and culture interact and
affect our lives.

xviii PREFACE
Acknowledgments
One of the most gratifying aspects of writing a book is the opportunity to thank those who
have offered support, insight, and advice. First and foremost, we thank our students. The
individuals in our classes and those we meet when we visit other campuses are unfailing
sources of insight for us. Their questions and ideas, their willingness to challenge some of our
notions, and their generosity in sharing their perceptions and experiences have shaped the
pages that follow in both obvious and subtle ways.
Among the undergraduate students who have pushed us to think in new ways about gen-
der, communication, and culture are Jordana Adler, Cutler Andrews, Brandon Carter, Ethan
Cicero, Alexis Dennis, Madeline Fitzgerald, Paige Pennigar, and Nisha Verma. Among the
graduate students who have influenced our thinking are J. Beckham, Jen Cronin, Kate Harris,
Naomi Johnson, Kristen Norwood, Tim Muehlhoff, Julia O’Grady, Phaedra Pezzullo, Stace
Treat, and Grover Wehman-Brown.
Our thinking and writing also reflect conversations with colleagues. We are particularly
grateful to Professor Bonnie Dow, Vanderbilt University, who has provided wise advice and
challenges since the first edition of this book. We are also indebted to Lynn O’Brien Hallstein,
Boston University, for her generative research and her passion for wrestling with questions
about gender, communication, and culture.
We have benefited from the professional support of Nicole Morinon, Senior Product
Manager for Communication Studies, and Katy Gabel, Content Developer, who made our job
as authors far easier and far more satisfying than we had a right to expect. Along with Nicole
and Katy, others at Cengage Learning have contributed in important ways to this edition

Opening the
Conversation
Knowledge Challenge:
• When was the term feminism first used?
• How many bras were burned in feminist protests in 1968?
• As a group, are heterosexual men happier in relationships with feminist or
nonfeminist women?
• What is at stake in how we think about gender?
Textbooks typically begin with a preview of chapters and features, but we
want to launch our conversation a bit differently. We think you’re entitled to
know something about the people behind the words you’ll be reading, so we
want to open the book by introducing ourselves and explaining why we wrote
Gendered Lives.
Most people regard books as impersonal sources of information. Like any-
thing that people create, however, books reflect the experiences, identities, and
historical context of the authors who write them. Authors influence books when
they decide which topics to include and which theories to present. This doesn’t
mean that books are not informative or reliable, but it does mean that authors’
experiences and perspectives have an impact on books. By telling you a little
about who we are and why we wrote this book, we are inviting you to think
about how our backgrounds, experiences, beliefs, and values have shaped the
book you’re reading.
Let’s start with some simple demographic information. Natalie is a white,
femme, cisgender, middle-class woman in a committed 12-year relationship
with her partner, Vanessa. Julia is a European-American, heterosexual, spiritually
engaged, middle-class woman who has been in a committed relationship with
Robbie (Robert) Cox for 42 years.
Yet, if you think about it, this information isn’t simple at all. It implies a
great deal about our identities and experiences. For instance, Julia became
an adult when the second wave of the U.S. Women’s Movement was ascend-
ing, and it influenced her personal life, political views, and perspective on
gender and culture. Natalie grew up in a culture that presented far greater
opportunities to girls and women than that of previous generations. But
even as feminism seemed to be part of the air she breathed, she also began
to notice how sexism and other forms of social and economic injustice
remained stubbornly intact.

2 introduction Opening the Conversation
The “simple” demographic information also shows that Natalie and Julia are
privileged by their race and economic class, as well as by their cisgender identi-
ties. Yet, because of persistent sexism in Western culture, Natalie and Julia have
faced gendered forms of bias and discrimination, and homophobia has com-
pounded those challenges for Natalie.
We did not earn the privileges conferred by our skin color, class, or gender
identity, nor did we earn the inequities that come with being categorized as
female and, for Natalie, being a lesbian. That is the nature of much privilege and
inequity—they are unearned. They do not reflect the achievements, efforts, or
failings of the individuals who enjoy or suffer them.
Feminism—Feminisms
Finally, in introducing ourselves to you, we should tell you that we are feminists, as are 60%
of women and 33% of men in the United States (Crary, 2014). Before you form an impres-
sion based on your understanding of feminism, let’s define the term. The word feminism

Feminism—Feminisms 3
TAKE A STAND: Do you believe you would view masculinity, femininity, and sexual
orientation differently if you were Samoan or belonged to one of the other cultures
mentioned above?
was coined in France in the late 1800s. It combined the French word for “woman,” femme,
with the suffix ism, meaning “political position.” Thus, feminism means “a political posi-
tion about women.” Ironically, although many people do not call themselves feminists,
they do think that women’s rights activism has improved the conditions and opportunities
available to women. Also, many people of all sexes and genders believe that individuals
should have equal rights, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, or gender. This sug-
gests that, for many people, there is greater reservation about the label feminist than about
the actual goals, values, and achievements of feminism.
When we talk with students who say they aren’t feminists, we often discover that we
agree on most issues relevant to gender but disagree on the meaning of the word fem-
inism. There’s good reason for this. First, feminism is not one single belief or political
position. Chapter 3 discusses a variety of feminist positions, and Chapter 4 explores the
different stances—some feminist, some not—endorsed by men’s movements. Second, most
people’s impressions of feminism have been shaped by bias in media portrayal of femi-
nism and feminists. Beginning with the inaccurate report that feminists burned bras at
a protest of the 1968 Miss America Pageant (no bras were burned at that protest), media
have consistently misrepresented feminists as man-hating, shrill extremists. Many people,

4 introduction Opening the Conversation
like a student named Andrea (see her commentary), say they aren’t feminists because they
associate feminism with media caricatures that emphasize bashing men and engaging in
radical protests.
ANDREA
I would never call myself a feminist, because that word has so many negative
connotations. I don’t hate men or anything, and I’m not interested in protesting. I don’t
want to go around with hacked-off hair and no makeup and sit around bashing men. I
do think women and men are equal and should have the same kinds of rights, including
equal pay for equal work. But I wouldn’t call myself a feminist.
Media stereotypes of feminists don’t fit many women and men who identify as fem-
inists. Most feminists are not extremists, and most, like the two of us, have strong and
loving relationships with people of all sexes and genders. Those who identify as feminist
claim a range of gendered identities, and including traditional femininity, from inter-
est in fashions to activities such as cooking and caring for children. Research shows
that heterosexual men in relationships with feminist women are happier and consider
their relationships healthier than heterosexual men in relationships with nonfeminist
women. The converse is also true: Women in heterosexual relationships with feminist
men are happier and more satisfied with their relationships than women in heterosexual
relationships with nonfeminist men (Rudman & Phelan, 2007). Being a feminist does
not conflict with being feminine, but it does mean being reflective about how women
define and express femininity. Likewise, being a feminist does not conflict with being
masculine, but it requires conscious decision-making about how to define and express
masculinity.
Because feminism means different things to different people, we want to tell you how we
define the term. We understand feminism as an active commitment to equality and respect
for all forms of life. For us, this includes respecting all people, as well as nonhuman forms of
life and the Earth itself. Simply put, we see feminism as resisting oppression, be it the oppres-
sion of women, men, people with disabilities, people with any gender or sexual identity, peo-
