This fourth edition of Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks's prize-winning survey
features significant changes to every chapter, designed to reflect the
newest scholarship. Global issues have been threaded throughout the
book, while still preserving the clear thematic structure of previous
editions. Thus readers will find expanded discussions of gendered
racial hierarchies, migration, missionaries, and consumer goods. In
addition, there is enhanced coverage of recent theoretical directions;
the ideas, beliefs, and practices of ordinary people; early
industrialization; women's learning, letter writing, and artistic
activities; emotions and sentiments; single women and same-sex
relations; masculinities; mixed-race and enslaved women; and the life
course from birth to death. With geographically broad coverage,
including Russia, Scandinavia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Iberian
Peninsula, this remains the leading text on women and gender in Europe
in this period. Accompanying this essential reading is a completely
revised website featuring extensive updated bibliographies, web links,
and primary source material.
