What is Gender History?
* Provides a short and accessible introduction to the field of gender history. * Examines the origins and development of the field and elucidates current debates and controversies. * Discusses in a clear manner pitched at undergraduate students the various methods and approaches used by gender historians.
This book provides a short and accessible introduction to the field of gender history, one that has vastly expanded in scope and substance since the mid-1970s. Paying close attention to both classic texts in the field and the latest literature, the author examines the origins and development of the field and elucidates current debates and controversies.
She highlights the significance of race, class, and ethnicity for how gender affects society, culture, and politics, as well as delving into histories of masculinity. The author discusses in a clear and straightforward manner the various methods and approaches used by gender historians. Consideration is given to how the study of gender illuminates the histories of revolution, war, and nationalism, industrialisation and labour relations, politics and citizenship, colonialism, and imperialism, using as examples research dealing with the histories of a number of areas across the globe.
Written by one of the leading scholars in this vibrant field, What is Gender History? will be the ideal introduction for students of all levels.
