What does material culture tell us about gendered identities and
how does gender reveal the meaning of spaces and things? If we look
at the objects that we own, covet and which surround us in our
everyday culture, there is a clear connection between ideas about
gender and the material world. This book explores the material
culture of the past to shed light on historical experiences and
identities. Some essays focus on specific objects, such as an
eighteenth-century jug or a 20th powder puff, others on broader
material environments, such as the sixteenth-century guild or the
interior of a 20th century pub, while still others focus on the
paraphernalia associated with certain actions, such as
letter-writing or maintaining 18th century men's hair. Written by
scholars in a range of history-related disciplines, the essays in
this book offer exposes of current research methods and interests.
These demonstrate to students how a relationship between material
culture and gender is being addressed, while also revealing a
variety of intellectual approaches and topics.
