Gendering European History 1780

Organized both chronologically and thematically, this book encompasses the period of the French Revolution through 19th-century developments in work, urban and domestic life, national politics, and imperialism, and concludes with the gender crisis of World War I. Caine (history, Monash University) and Sluga (history and European studies, University of Sydney) explore the issues of sexual difference in relation to class, ethnicity, and race; describe the development of key historical debates about identity, work, home, politics, and citizenship in specific nations and across Europe; and provide general information about the social and political contexts in which these debates arose.
