Description
Gender History Across Epistemologies offers broad range of innovative approaches to gender history. The essays reveal how historians of gender are crossing boundaries - disciplinary, methodological, and national - to explore new opportunities for viewing gender as a category of historical analysis.
Essays present epistemological and theoretical debates central in gender history over the past two decades
Contributions within this volume to the work on gender history are approached from a wide range of disciplinary locations and approaches
The volume demonstrates that recent approaches to gender history suggest surprising crossovers and even the discovery of common grounds
