- Description
- How relevant does gender remain to premodern history in the twenty-first century? This book considers this question in eight case studies that span the European continent from 1400 to 1800. An introductory essay examines the category of gender in historiography and specifically within premodern historiography, as well as the issue of source material for historians of the period.

- Description
- This book analyses the impact of occupation on men and women, both occupied and occupier, in a variety of geographical spaces from Japan to Palestine to Iraq. Gendered perspectives are also intimately tied to analyses of ‘power’: how power is enacted by the occupier: how powerlessness is experienced by the occupied: how power is negotiated, shared, compromised, subverted, reclaimed: power as visible and invisible: institutional power: contested power in post-conflict societies: and power as discursively constructed. The term ‘military occupation’ is interpreted broadly to include occupation, interventions, the presence of military bases and peacekeeping/post-conflict operations.

- Description
- This book provides a gendered historical narrative of human rights from the San Francisco Conference in 1945 to the final vote of the UDHR in the United Nations General Assembly in December 1948. It highlights the contributions by Latin American feminist delegates and the prominent non-Western female representatives from new member states of the UN. Who were the non-Western women delegates who took part in the drafting of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) from 1945-1948? Which member states did these women represent and in what ways did they push for a more inclusive language than 'the rights of Man' in the texts?

- Description
- Town rules and customs, as well as police and guilds’ regulations, affected women’s participation in the urban economy: the formally recognized and legally accepted power of women was very limited. The book draws attention to how women navigated these gendered terrains. As the book demonstrates, 'exclusion' is too strong a word for the realities of women’s everyday lives. Frequently guild and corporate regulations were more about situating women and regulating their activities, rather than preventing them from operating in the urban economy. Similarly corporate structures, which were under stress, found flexible strategies to incorporate women who through their own initiative and activities put pressure on the systems.

- Description
- This collection examines gendered representations of ‘evil’ in history, the arts, and literature. Scholars often explore the relationships between gender, sex, and violence through theories of inequality, violence against women, and female victimization, but what happens when women are the perpetrators of violent or harmful behavior? How do we define ‘evil’? What makes evil men seem different from evil women? When women commit acts of violence or harmful behavior, how are they represented differently from men? How do perceptions of class, race, and age influence these representations? How have these representations changed over time, and why? What purposes have gendered representations of evil served in culture and history? What is the relationship between gender, punishment of evil behavior, and equality?

- Description
- This book explores the history of marriage and marriage-like relationships across five continents from the seventeenth century to the present day. Scholars examine how the methodologies from the new history of emotions contribute to our understanding of marriage, seeking to uncover not only personal feeling but also the political and social implications of emotion. They highlight how marriage as an institution has been shaped not just by law and society but also by individual and community choices, desires and emotional values.
