/The Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Media /offers original insights into 
the complex set of relations which exist between gender, sex, 
sexualities and the media, and in doing so, showcases new research at 
the forefront of media and communication practice and theory.

- Brings together a collection of new, cutting-edge research exploring a 
number of different facets of the broad relationship between gender and 
media.

- Moves beyond associating gender with woman/man and instead considers 
the relationship between the construction of gender norms, biological 
sex and the mediation of sex and sexuality.

- Offers genuinely new insights into the complicated and complex set of 
relations which exist between gender, sex, sexualities and the media.

- Essay topics range from the continuing sexism of TV advertising to 
ways in which the internet is facilitating the (re)invention of our 
sexual selves.
