A Broader Perspective of Gender Socialization across Four Social Institutions
A Broader Perspective of Gender Socialization across Four Social Institutions

Summary/Abstract: Gender socialization is key for understanding how genderrelated attitudes become internalized. This paper sheds lights into the gender socialization process and how it is reflected across the four traditional social institutions of family, church, school and mass-media. It advances the argument that gender stereotypes which continue to be enforced across centuries are power-driven social representations for limiting women’ access rights across all social institutions.
