- Summary:
- "William I. Thomas, author (together with Florian Znaniecki) of the great research study The Polish Peasant in Europe and America. 1918-1920, focu-sed his early studies on women's reality, and shared his insights through countless articles, par-tially collected in Sex and Society, 1907. Starting from his presence in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago and his eth-nological and sociological approaches, this book examines his contribution as a major theorist on the sociology of women, as well as an interpreter of modern women's experiences, analysing contemporary sexual differences, modesty and emotions, body, clothing and new love relation-ships as opposed to traditional female role within social reproduction."--Page 4 of cover.
