Preferred term

media and gender socialization  

Definition

  • The title of this entry brings to the foreground a number of important issues in the study of gender. The pairing of the terms gender and socialization, for example, highlights the ways in which gender, following the arguments of mid-20th-century feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir, is shaped over time rather than bestowed at birth.
