Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe: A History from the French Revolution to the Present Day

At a time when issues of gender and sexuality are as prominent as they have ever been, Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe provides an authoritative exploration of the history of these deeply connected subjects over the last 250 years. Incorporating a blend of history and historiography, Annette F. Timm and Joshua A. Sanborn write engagingly on gender and sexuality in a way that illuminates our understanding of historical change and individual experience throughout Europe.

The new and improved 3rd edition of this textbook now includes:

- Personal vignette textboxes which shed light on key themes through individual life stories
- Added material on Russia, Eastern Europe, the Holocaust and the 21st century
- Historiographical updates throughout that bring the text up-to-date with new scholarship
- 30 new images and maps

Through 6 thematic chapters that cover democracy, capitalism, imperialism and war, Timm and Sanborn trace the social construction of gender roles, consider gender's influence on political and economic developments during the period and reflect on where European society's relationship with gender will go both now and in the future.
