Drawing together crucial articles and essays, Gender History: Critical Readings provides an extensive reference collection which is essential for all students and scholars needing to gain a critical understanding of gender and gender history.

Collating scholarly historical texts on the subject from the last 50 years from a wide range of sources, this four-volume set offers a key knowledge resource for the field. Arranged chronologically in terms of the time period studied for ease of use, the four volumes assemble around 100 essays and papers from the pioneering pieces published in the 1960s and 1970s through to the landmark texts of the recent past and present. There is a global scope and Gender History: Critical Readings gives crucial insights into how the field was formed, how it developed and into how gender history will be studied in the future.

Volume 1 explores gender history concerned with antiquity through to the year 600 CE and pays particular attention to issues of work, politics, religion and gender roles.

Volume 2 traces gender history's arc in the field of medieval history, with coverage of topics like domesticity, women's networks and social status.

Volume 3 considers the early modern world and the significance of imperialism in relation to gender history.

Volume 4 covers the modern world through to the present day, with material on nation states, activism and the changing nature of society.

Each volume includes a substantial contextualizing introduction surveying the development of the field. Gender History: Critical Readings is a major scholarly reference work for all researchers interested in gender history and gender studies more broadly.

Описание:

Throughout history and in every geographical location, the rise and fall of industry, which impact the fate of large populations, are tied to the development and cultural entanglement of particular models that are articulated with political power. Models are understood as knowledge devices - expert, theoretical, practical and commonsense - that are embedded in cultural and social environments and designed through struggles at various scales.
