This volume explores how the interpretation of material from the
ancient Near East is enriched through the application of diverse
methodological and theoretical approaches to studying gender. The
contributors to this collection include both established and
up-and-coming scholars whose work brings gender studies
theories-from Butler's theory of gender as a performance to more
recent theories that consider gender as a spectrum-to bear on
varied materials and contexts. Their essays increase the visibility
of women in ancient history, untangle constructions of masculinity
and femininity in diverse contexts, and grapple with big-picture
questions, such as the suitability of applying third-wave or
postfeminist theories to the ancient Near East. Studying Gender in
the Ancient Near East points to a need for-and provides a model
of-a more productive agenda for gender studies in furthering our
understanding of ancient Near Eastern societies. In addition to the
editors, the contributors are Julia M. Asher-Greve, Stephanie Lynn
Budin, Megan Cifarelli, M. Erica Couto-Ferreira, Amy Rebecca
Gansell, Katrien De Graef, Amelie Kuhrt, Stephanie M.
Langin-Hooper, Brigitte Lion, Natalie N. May, Beth Alpert Nakhai,
Martti Nissinen, Omar N'Shea, Maria Rosa Oliver, Frances Pinnock,
Eleonora Ravenna, Allison Karmel Thomason, Luciana Urbano, Niek
Veldhuis, and Ilona Zsolnay.
