As noted above, this text concludes a loose trilogy of titles concerned with dialectics and what could be called the dialectical process, only in this instance with an emphasis on the significance of both gender and class, though especially gender, in determining how this process operates and who is affected and why. For Mr O'Loughlin, the beginning and end of all dialectics is gender, and this project shows just how important an analysis of dialectics from the standpoint of gender really is.
