335 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Through a blend of history and historiography, Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe provides a clear and concise introduction to gender history in the region. The detailed examples and engaging language make this a useful overview for students not only of gender history, but also of European history more widely, as considerations of gender illuminate our understanding of historical change and individual experience. In six thematic chapters that cover democracy and capitalism, imperialism and war, the authors explain how gender roles were socially constructed and how they influenced political and economic developments during the period. This new edition has been thoroughly re-edited and expanded to take account of ongoing methodological innovation and recent scholarship in the field. The book also includes a brand new chapter on sexuality in the 21st century and extended material on: Scandinavia ; The Mediterranean ; Alternative Sexualities ; Women's history and femininity. Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe is a key text for all students of gender history and the history of modern Europe in general.--Publisher website.
