Women and Fluid Identities

Strategic and Practical Pathways Selected by Women

About this book

This book argues that it is the fluidity of women's identities that enables them to bridge the gender divides and roles ascribed to them by society and culture with those that they have chosen for themselves whilst retaining a sense of their self.
