Gender Status
Scope Note
Rights, privileges, powers, duties, and disabilities of each gender (e.g., legal, domestic, economic, political, ceremonial); special exceptions for each gender; general statements bearing upon the status inferiority or superiority of women; special elaborations (e.g., chivalry, notions of the uncleanness of women); explanations of gender differences; competition between genders; stereotyped attitudes of each gender towards the other (e.g., disdain, idealization); etc. Until 1997 this category was used for most discussions about gender roles and issues.
History Note
Starting in 1997 this term was restricted for discussions that explicitly and exclusively are about relative status of the genders; other information on gender roles, values and interactions with no status differential implied began to be indexed with "Gender Roles and Issues" (890).
