A Textbook of Gender Studies

A Textbook of Gender Studies — According to Syllabus
By Shabbir Hussain Chaudhry | Published by Caravan Book House

Gender Studies has grown into an increasingly relevant optional subject for CSS and PMS candidates, and a standard university subject in its own right, examining how gender shapes society, policy, and lived experience. A Textbook of Gender Studies, authored by Shabbir Hussain Chaudhry, provides a structured, syllabus-aligned treatment of this subject, published by Caravan Book House.

Why This Book is Essential

Gender Studies draws on sociology, law, economics, and public policy to examine gender as a social and structural issue — a genuinely interdisciplinary subject that can be difficult to study effectively without a text organized specifically around what's actually tested. This book addresses that by being built directly according to the current syllabus, giving candidates and students a clear, structured path through the subject rather than requiring them to synthesize material from multiple general sociology or policy texts.

• Core Concepts of Gender Studies: Foundational theories and frameworks for understanding gender as a field of study.
