Women and Gender in Modern Europe
Women and Gender in Modern Europe introduces students to the key concepts of womenâs history, gender as a category of analysis, and the history of feminism. Spanning the late 19th century to the present day, each chapter highlights major themes of the particular time period across Europe, concluding with a short bibliography.
Whilst covering some familiar narratives in a broadly chronological fashion, Jennifer A. Miller introduces new actors, themes, and conclusions based on the most recent scholarship that further enriches our collective understanding of womenâs history in modern Europe. Miller presents a Europe of diversity from ethnic and religious perspectives, which has also been sorely lacking until now.
European colonialism, the suffrage movements, the World Wars and the Holocaust, the postwar period, the Cold War, and even very recent history are all closely examined in this essential volume for anyone interested in the European female experience of the last 150 years.
