GENDER VISIBILITY AND ERASURE
Endorsement Page
This superb volume is an impressive response for an inclusive sociology! Uncovering the buried contributions of women scholars and the many missing voices from the discipline, the contributors move scholarship away from invisibility and erasure of the past and present and toward reclaiming sociology.
