"Gender in World History integrates gender history and world history by dealing with
significant global changes over time, regional patterns of gender relations, and the
results of interregional contact on gender roles and concepts. Now in its 4th edition,
this volume explores the rise of patriarchal gender systems and, in more modern history,
the gradual and checkered decline of these systems. In addition to the roles of agriculture
and then industrialization in shaping gender relations, the book deals with the impact
of major religions, imperialism and decolonization, and human rights movements in
more recent history. Regional coverage includes East Asia, South Asia, the Middle
East and Mediterranean, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and the Americas. The book seeks
to show how major patterns and changes in the past shed light on current gender issues
in many world regions, enabling students to understand how gender roles have varied
across the world and over time. This new edition also includes: More material on several
societies, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Greater attention on historical
and comparative assessment of sexual identities A focus on basic features of gender
configurations Discussions of more recent human rights movements Providing a global
but succinct overview of the history of gender throughout the world, Gender in World
History remains essential reading for students of world history and gender studies"
