Women in Transnational History offers a range of fresh perspectives
on the field of women's history, exploring how cross-border
connections and global developments since the nineteenth century
have shaped diverse women's lives and the gendered social,
cultural, political and economic histories of specific localities.
The book is divided into three thematically-organised parts,
covering gendered histories of transnational networks, women's
agency in the intersecting histories of imperialisms and
nationalisms, and the concept of localizing the global and
globalizing the local. Discussing a broad spectrum of topics from
the politics of dress in Philippine mission stations in the early
twentieth century to the shifting food practices of British women
during the Second World War, the chapters bring women to the centre
of the writing of new transnational histories. Illustrated with
images and figures, this book throws new light on key global themes
from the perspective of women's and gender history. Written by an
international team of editors and contributors, it is a valuable
and timely resource for students and researchers of both women's
history and transnational and global history.
