Candace West and Don Zimmerman, Doing Gender

Summary: In their article ‘Doing Gender’ Candace West and Don H. Zimmermann introduced the notion of gender. It was not introduced as a trait, societal representation, or social role, but it was introduced as an accomplishment.Critique: I appreciate these sociologists way of introducing the notion of gender in the society. They have sufficient information on how gender in the society setting is viewed and how different set of groups respond towards the notion of gender. It is the product of the societal daily behaviors and practices which manifest and codify femininity of masculinity.
