Taking a new approach to the study of emotions, this book presents a rigorous analysis of the gendered ways in which people construct their emotions within society. Focusing on memories of apologies, transgression, play, holidays, danger, fear, anger and happiness, "Emotion and Gender" explores the way people construct selves by reflecting on particular experiences. The construction of gender differences in emotions, particularly in relation to social imperatives surrounding responsibility, automony and agency, is a central theme.
