The Lenses of Gender

The Lenses of Gender

I designed this image as a front cover for a short story I wrote for a friend’s daughter. Both the story and the image have been heavily influenced by Sandra Lipsitz-Bem’s book The Lenses of Gender. I was also influenced by her class “Psychology of Sex Roles” which I took as an undergraduate at Cornell. I recommend the book if you are at all interested in the psychology of gender roles in western culture!

Systemic processes tend to reward people for making decisions that turn out to be right—creating great resentment among the anointed, who feel themselves entitled to rewards for being articulate, politically active, and morally fervent. — Thomas Sowell (The Vision of the Anointed•)
