Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

From traditional constructions of femininity and masculinity, to the struggle for women's rights and the emergence of the men's movement, Gender: Identity and Social Change offers three centuries of primary source material for the exploration of gender history.

Explore records from men's and women's organisations, advice literature and etiquette books to reveal developing gender roles and relations. Gain an insight into changing societal expectations about gender roles through personal diaries and correspondence and explore the life and careers of key figures and pioneers in gender history.

FEATURING HANDWRITTEN TEXT RECOGNITION (HTR):

The papers of Arthur J. Munby (1828-1910), from Trinity College, Cambridge are included, enhanced with Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR).
