DescriptionMany people think there are socially constructed properties. For example, quite plausibly, gender properties like the property of being a woman are socially constructed. But what is it for a property like this to be socially constructed? What is it for a property to be a social property in the first place? And, where we are primarily concerned with investigating the nature of gender, why ask about properties at all? Why not, for example, simply ask about the meanings of our gender terms, like ‘woman’? How To Be Social offers answers to each of these questions.
