The book Women, Men, and, Society by authors Claire M. Renzetti and
            
 Daniel J. Curran offers a detailed look at gender inequality in society.
            
 The emphasis is on showing how gender inequality and sexism affect both men
            
 and women in society.  The book also details how other factors such as
            
 sexism, ageism and homophobia impact on gender inequality.  In considering
            
 gender in society, the authors considers the many areas of society where
            
 gender inequalities are both created and observed.  This includes
            
 considering issues such as how children become gender socialized in their
            
 early years, gender inequalities in the school environment, the link
            
 between gender creation and the media, gender issues in employment, gender
            
 issues in politics, and the link between gender and health.  By reading the

 issues so that the reader can understand how gender inequalities impact on
            
 real life.  In doing so, this book was less of a scholarly approach, and
            
 more of a practical approach.  The authors did not just present scholarly
            
 terminologies, but made it clear how these terminologies operated in real
            
 life.  This was effective in creating understanding, because I was
            
 immediately able to see how they related to my own personal experiences.
            
 To illustrate this, I will now describe three terminologies from the book,
            
 by offering examples of how they have been involved in my own experiences
            
       One of the terminologies described by Renzetti and Curran is the
