The Gendered Republic
An authoritative assessment of the early American republic through the lens of gender
What does it mean to study early American history through gender? The essays in this collection, written by the best emerging and established historians in the field, bring together women's history with masculinity studies to showcase the transformative impact of gender history on our understanding of the early American republic.
In addition to state-of-the-field historiographical overviews, The Gendered Republic features essays that use gender history to suggest new chronological and geographic frameworks, broaden understandings of politics and citizenship, highlight the complexities of intersectional identities, and explore new approaches that centre bodies and sexualities.
Collectively, the contributors showcase the vibrancy of gender history as a frame of inquiry, revealing how shifting notions of women's and men's roles shaped the lives of people in the early American republicβWhite, Black, and Indigenousβand how those people, in turn, experienced and redefined gender and, with it, their communities, cultures, laws, families, and nations.
