Patriarchy, colonialism, and the capitalist mode of production have
shaped gender through time and across many different cultures. In
historic America, gendered social relations were created, codified,
and reproduced through the objects used in cultural rituals, the
spatial organization of houses, the construction of village
landscapes, and the institutions of society, in addition to other
social, ideological, economic, and political forces. From domestic
spaces to the public square, Deborah Rotmancontextualizes gender
and the associated social relationships from the colonial period
through the twentieth century. By exploring how individuals and
families negotiated and mediated these relationships, she sheds
light on how prescriptive gender categories were experienced by
those expected to follow them and examines how diverse groups
responded to popular gender ideologies. Additionally, she reveals
the ways gender and society influence each other, exposing how
American normative notions of masculinity and femininity intersect
with class, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and identity. Albeit,
Rotman contends, they do not intersect in mutually supportive ways,
ultimately giving rise to transformative social changes.
