This book provides a short and accessible introduction to the field
of gender history, one that has vastly expanded in scope and
substance since the mid 1970s. Paying close attention to both
classic texts in the field and the latest literature, the author
examines the origins and development of the field and elucidates
current debates and controversies. She highlights the significance
of race, class and ethnicity for how gender affects society,
culture and politics as well as delving into histories of
masculinity. The author discusses in a clear and straightforward
manner the various methods and approaches used by gender
historians. Consideration is given to how the study of gender
illuminates the histories of revolution, war and nationalism,
industrialization and labor relations, politics and citizenship,
colonialism and imperialism using as examples research dealing with
the histories of a number of areas across the globe.Written by one
of the leading scholars in this vibrant field, "What is Gender
History?" will be the ideal introduction for students of all
levels.
