Description

From back of VHS box:

Finally a video to help the viewer understand the perspective of the many facets of the gender world. Prominent figures involved in the education and support of others share their experiences, breathing life into the textbook definition used to describe these behaviors. While definitive answers may be elusive, GENDER 101, the video, prompts us all to ask better questions and prepares us for the challenges of the future.
