Opis

This book treats the representations, everyday lives, and relationships of men and women from ancient times to the present day across the world. It shows how gender informed and was informed by such developments as the rise of patriarchy, universal religions, war, slavery, revolution, and imperialism. Gender is a phenomenon that appears in every place and at every historical moment; it is a fundamental means by which we understand ourselves, our societies, and the worlds in which we live.

Recenzje

Like other books in the "New Oxford World History" series, this volume packs a lot of content into a few highly readable, short chapters ... scholars, teachers, and students of world history will no doubt find many insights to augment lectures or inspire research projects. P. B. Guingona, CHOICE
