| Description: |
Highlighting gender as a significant and always present factor in the British Empire makes for a very different reading of that singular and fascinating history. In this volume, major scholars ask fresh questions about traditional issues, as well as exploring questions seldom hitherto asked. |
| Synopsis: |
Focusing the perspectives of gender scholarship on the study of empire, this is an original volume full of fascinating insights about the conduct of men as well as women. Bringing together disparate fields - politics, medicine, sexuality, childhood, religion, migration, and many more topics - this collection of essays demonstrates the richness of studying empire through the lens of gender. This is a more inclusive look at empire, which asks not only why the empire was dominated by men, but how that domination affected the conduct of imperial politics. The fresh, new interpretations of the British Empire offered here, will interest readers across a wide range, demonstrating the vitality of this innovative approach and the new historical questions it raises. |
