Gender for “Dummies” 2

 This
book is both a continuation and an independent project. It is a continuation
because before the publication of “Gender for Dummies 2” there was obviously
just the “Gender for Dummies”. Back then we didn’t know that we would like to
write a follow up, so there was no official “Gender for Dummies 1”. It is an
independent project because you don’t have the read the first publication in
order to understand the second.
