Gender: A World History - Susan Kingsley (Arts - Bog

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.
