Gender, kinship, power : a comparative and interdisciplinary history
New York, N.Y. : Routledge, 1996.
Gender, Kinship, Power places important contemporary issues related to kinship - such as parental responsibility and female-headed households - in their proper comparative and historical framework. The volume offers a broad survey of historical and anthropological studies of kinship while illuminating a number of specific questions central to the study of this topic: how family relations and descent are understood in various cultural settings, how gender shapes kinship rules and practices, and how kinship positions held by men and women affect their power in other realms.
