Gender Relations In German History by Lynn Abrams

This collection of essays examines the construction of gender norms in early modern and modern Germany.; The modes of reinforcement by the state, the church, the law and marriage, and the resistance to these norms by individuals, are central to each of the contributions.; It examines discourses of the body and sexuality and the relations between gender and power. Similarly, the usefulness of the "public/private paradigm" familiar to gender historians is further challenged.
Lynn Abrams is a lecturer in history at the University of Glasgow. Elizabeth Harvey is a lecturer in history at the University of Liverpool.
