Issues of class, gender and identity have long been of interest in
cultural studies. The concept of gender is considered a cultural
difference, characteristically placed in opposition to the concept
of sex, a biological difference. To understand gender it needs to
be considered in a social context, as it is fundamental to the
process of social classification. Masculinity and femininity are
not necessarily innate, but are constructed culturally, and are
often a variable performance. Gender has frequently been referred
to as a learned act or behaviour and the family is considered by
psychoanalytical theory to be a significant place for gender roles
to be initiated. Exploring the boundaries of gender identity has
played a long standing role in western culture across the class
divide. This text will discuss how gender and identity were
manifested in 18th Century society, contextualised through
contemporary culture.
