Collating scholarly historical texts on the subject from the last 50 years from a wide range of sources, this four-volume set offers a key knowledge resource for the field. Arranged chronologically in terms of the time period studied for ease of use, the four volumes assemble around 60 essays and papers from the pioneering pieces published in the 1960s and 1970s through to the landmark texts of the recent past and present. There is a global scope and Gender History: Critical Readings gives crucial insights into how the field was formed, how it developed and into how gender history will be studied in the future.
Volume 1 explores gender history concerned with antiquity through to the year 600 CE and pays particular attention to issues of work, politics, religion and gender roles.
Volume 2 traces gender history's arc in the field of medieval history, with coverage of topics like domesticity, women's networks and social status.
Volume 3 considers the early modern world and the significance of imperialism in relation to gender history.
Volume 4 covers the modern world through to the present day, with material on nation states, activism and the changing nature of society.
Each volume includes a substantial contextualizing introduction surveying the development of the field.
