Gender History Across Epistemologies offers broad range
of innovative approaches to gender history. The essays reveal how
historians of gender are crossing boundaries – disciplinary,
methodological, and national – to explore new opportunities for
viewing gender as a category of historical analysis.
* Essays present epistemological and theoretical debates central
in gender history over the past two decades
* Contributions within this volume to the work on gender history
are approached from a wide range of disciplinary locations and
approaches
* The volume demonstrates that recent approaches to gender
history suggest surprising crossovers and even the discovery of
common grounds
