Abstract

It is frequent to hear talks about gender, about its importance in science, in politics, and in the socioeconomic analysis, as well as about its inequalities, stereotypes, gender roles, etc. But, what can be understood by gender? Is gender the same as sex and feminism? How has the field of anthropology contributed to the configuration of the category of gender? Is male and female the same in all societies?. This article aims to briefly provide answers to all the questions above.
