- Brings together disparate disciplines, providing a broad understanding of the subject for readers across a wide range.
- Studies the British Empire through the lens of gender, discovering fresh insights about the conduct of men as well as women, and the empire itself.
- Contributions by some of the leading experts in a variety of related fields.
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. Readership: Readers interested in the British Empire; scholars and students of imperial and commonwealth history; historians of gender.
