An Introduction
Gender & Society is a peer-reviewed journal, focused on the study of gender.

Currently, it is a top-ranked journal in both sociology and women's studies. Gender & Society publishes fewer than 10% of all papers submitted to it. Articles appearing in Gender & Society analyze gender and gendered processes in interactions, organizations, societies, and global and transnational spaces. The journal primarily publishes empirical articles, which are both theoretically engaged and methodologically rigorous, including qualitative, quantitative, and comparative-historical methodologies. Gender & Society also publishes reviews of books from a diverse array of social science disciplines.
