The Routledge Companion to Gender and COVID-19 is the first comprehensive research guide for researchers and students who seek to study and evaluate the complex relationship between gender and COVID-19.

This interdisciplinary collection touches on two major themes: first, how gender played a central role in shaping access to testing, treatment, and vaccines. Second, how the pandemic not only deepened existing gender inequalities, but also those along the lines of race, class, sexuality, disability, and immigration status.

Bringing together a diverse range of international scholars across a number of disciplinary perspectives, this intersectional and comparative focus on COVID explores topics including the pandemic’s impact on families, employment, childcare and elder care, human rights, as well as gender and political economy and leadership, public health law, disability rights, and abortion access.

The Routledge Companion to Gender and COVID-19 is an essential volume for scholars and students of Law, Gender Studies, Sociology, Health, Economics, and Politics.

Reviews for The Routledge Companion to Gender and COVID-19

"""Arundhati Roy famously urged us to use the pandemic as a portal to a more just future. This powerful collection reveals the gendered paradoxes of COVID—from intersectional, comparative, and interdisciplinary perspectives— uncovering alarming insights and offering thoughtful solutions that call for a new ethics, politics, and law of care, community, and connection, even while our pandemics of inequality, poverty, and disinformation continue to rage."" Catherine Powell, Eunice Carter Distinguished Research Scholar Professor of Law, Fordham Law School In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, out of “all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” Those words were prescient and surfaced powerfully during the triple pandemics of COVID-19, systemic racism, and sexism – with both the “color and gender of COVID-19” on vivid display. This essential volume allows us to understand the intersectional way that gendered and raced effects operate using the “pandemic as a portal” to expose how COVID-19 exacerbates preexisting disparities and amplifies their disparate impact. This insightful book helps us to consider more fully how to rectify health inequities. Matianga Sirleaf, Nathan Patz Professor of Law, University of Maryland, Francis King Carey School of Law"
