Women in World History brings together the most recent scholarship
in women's and world history in a single volume covering the period
from 1450 to the present, enabling readers to understand women's
relationship to world developments over the past five hundred
years. Women have served the world as unfree people, often forced
to migrate as slaves, trafficked sex workers, and indentured
laborers working off debts. Diseases have migrated through women's
bodies and women themselves have deliberately spread religious
belief and fervor as well as ideas. They have been global authors,
soldiers, and astronauts encircling the globe and moving far beyond
it. They have written classics in political and social thought and
crafted literary and artistic works alongside others who were
revolutionaries and reform-minded activists. Historical scholarship
has shown that there is virtually no part of the world where
women's presence is not manifest, whether in archives, oral
testimonials, personal papers, the material record, evidence of
disease and famine, myth and religious teachings, and myriad other
forms of documentation. As these studies mount, the idea of
surveying women's past on a global basis becomes daunting. This
book aims to redress this situation and offer a synthetic world
history of women in modern times.
