For decades, women's history has been one of the most dynamic
fields in all of American history. More recently, the study of
manhood has drawn the attention of scholars, students, and general
readers. Despite the obvious intersections of female and male
gender roles, the nineteenth-century doctrine of "separate spheres"
has dominated historical inquiry. The shared experiences and
complementary lives of men and women have rarely been considered.
This important new anthology, reflecting recent trends in the
history of men and women, calls for the reintegration of the study
of gender.
Only by focusing on the "similarities," as well as the
differences, in the lives of men and women can we achieve a fully
representative portrait. The essays in this exciting collection,
most commissioned exclusively for this book, cover American history
from colonial times to the present, representing multicultural and
interdisciplinary scholarship at its most persuasive.
Combining compelling subjects and thorough research, the
contributors represent an appealing mix of established authors and
new scholars. A lively blend of experience and innovation, A Shared
Experiencemarks an important step in the development of American
history and the burgeoning field of gender studies.
