Product Description
Review
"A powerful testament to the richness of studying empire through a gendered lens. ...a collection of essays that is essential reading for advanced students and scholars interested in the history of the British Empire."--History: Reviews of New Books
Product Description
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.

The British Empire always seems a very masculine enterprise, a series of far-flung sites, dominated by white men dressed stiffly in sporting and hunting clothes, or ornate official regalia. Read the first page

This book came quickly and was in good condition for a second-hand book. I would recommend this supplier. It is an informative book and helped me with my history degree and the study of Empire.
