describes the main stages in feminism development and essentials of
feminist ideologies.
Particularities of gender application in the sphere of politics are
analyzed in Section 8 “Gender and Politics”. It reveals the nature and
specifics of gender approach to politics, gender characteristics of state
(legislative, executive and judicial) power, gender issues relating to
political leadership.
Section 9 “Gender Issues and Mass Media” draws attention to the
public sphere of the society at large and reveals mechanisms for
institutionalizing gender inequality through mass media.
Section 10 “Gender and Law” is intended to justify an objective
need for regulating gender processes. It reviews the conceptions of
natural and social rights, discusses their gender determinants and
sheds light on the impact that a society’s gender composition has on
its legal system development. Key gender-relating notions of law are
defined and analyzed, including: equal rights, equal freedoms, equal
duties and equal opportunities.
Section 11 “Gender Relations in Economy” explores the
economic aspects of social relations between men and women,
providing arguments in favour of introducing gender dimensions into
the study of economic relations at micro and macro levels. Discussed
are the problems of economic power and economic dependence, in-
family division of responsibilities, economic evaluation of women’s
unpaid labour and “child value”. The topic area “women and men in
the labour market” embraces such essential issues as correlation
between gender and labour motivation, gender aspects of economic
behaviour and gender factors of unemployment. Gender inequality in
income is considered from the standpoint of gender segregation and
its social, economic and political implications.
The issue of gender-based division of authority in the family,
described in the previous section, is further elaborated, in a greater
detail, in Section 12 “Gender Relations in a Family”. Here one can
read about the evolution of family forms and status at various stages
of humankind’s historical development, characteristics of patriarchic
and egalitarian types of family relations, diverse opinions on marriage

and family, socio-cultural aspects of motherhood and fatherhood.
Special attention is paid to the interdependence of professional and
family spheres of human life and activity, which allows to consider
gender relations and economic power both in a narrower context of
family (or household as an economic unit), and at a macroeconomic
level and brings the discussion to the next section of the manual.
Section 13 “Religion in a Gender Perspective” opens the last
topic area of the manual that depicts cultural representations of
gender. The central notion of the section is that of “the sacral”,
viewed in terms of its feminine and masculine archetypes. The
section describes basic – gender-neutral – properties of “the sacral”
and its images in culture. It analyzes gender aspects of social
manifestations of religious experience and reviews the history of
religions in a gender perspective – from matriarchal religions to neo-
religions and other modern alternatives to patriarchic religions.
Section 14 “Gender Literary Theory and Criticism” regards the
realization of feminine and masculine archetypes in literature, as
relating to the experiences of the consciousness and corporality;
analyzes the stages and contents of feminist literary criticism and
presents gender methodology of text analysis in literary studies and
literary criticism.
The above discussion passes on to Section 15 “Ukrainian Gender
Cultural Studies” that outlines some gender theories, their application
to the study of fine arts, and their development by Ukrainian re-
searchers.
Section 16 “Gender and Language” concentrates on the role of
gender in the formation of an individual and communal linguistic
world-image. In particular, it examines various gender-conditioned
linguistic portrayals of persons (e.g. of man as a norm and of woman
– as a deviation from the norm), gender-conditioned nomination
strategies (i.e. linguistic political correctness), sexism in different text
types and speech functional styles.
Section 17 “Gender Education and Gender Pedagogy” features
gender dimensions of educational systems. It characterizes the system
of education as one of the basic institutions accountable for the repro-

reproduction of gender stratification in the society and lists
specifically educational means of such reproduction, namely: gender
socialization within the system of education, formation of gender
roles, manifestation of gender stereotypes within the system of
education, etc.
Section 18 “Evolvement of Gender Education in Ukraine” is a
concluding part of the manual, in the sense that it crowns the
description of gender studies status in Ukraine by considering the
main stages, areas and specific features of Ukrainian gender studies.
The very last Section 19 “Gender as a Theoretical Prospect of
Feminism” considers a general context of gender theory application,
especially in social and political spheres.
On the whole, the manual is so designed as to present the body of
knowledge on gender issues, formulate a comprehensive conception
of gender system inherent in the society and develop the readers’
skills in assessing social and cultural phenomena from gender
viewpoint.
The manual is laid out as series of modules, which facilitates the
use of its material in various academic disciplines: philosophy,
political science, legal studies, literary studies, linguistics, etc.
The manual targets trainers and lecturers in social disciplines and
humanities, as well as university and college students.
