Concentrates on the sociocultural determinants of psychosexual identity. Pursues the question of whether our social environment, both in early childhood and in later life, plays a critical role in creating and maintaining masculine and feminine character traits. Interviews three social investigators: Ann Oakley, a sociologist engaged in research on women; Robin Oakley, an anthropologist; and Juliet Mitchell, a writer and theorist who is particularly interested in psychoanalysis.
