- Description
- In a reinterpretation of the years between 1620 and 1763, the author argues how ideas about gender and family life were central to the ways people in colonial New England, and their neighbors in New France and Indian Country, described their experiences in cross-cultural warfare. Little argues that English, French, and Indian people had broadly similar ideas about gender and authority. Because they understood both warfare and political power to be intertwined expressions of manhood, colonial warfare may be understood as a contest of different styles of masculinity.

Some examples: Women secured illicit meeting spaces: gained access to public athletic fields: fought to open bars to women: abolish gendered dress codes and prohibitions against lesbian congregation: created alternative spaces, such as coffeehouses: opened women-oriented bookstores, restaurants, cafes and clubs: established women’s shelters and health clinics.
