Women in European History by Gisela Bock

Women in European History by Gisela Bock

This book illustrates the social, cultural, legal and, political conditions that European women have faced from the Middle Ages to the present day.

"Bock looks at issues such as marriage, women's roles in the French and Industrial Revolutions, the nature and definition of the family, women and the welfare state, the Nazi regime, and the women's movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuriesThe book succeeds in synthesizing a substantial amount of comparative gender and cultural history over a considerable time span. And to Bock's credit, she strikes a good balance between factual information and biography... there is much food for thought" Lori Williamson, Open University

"Bock offers interesting insights into class, race, and gender...Her treatment of the divisive legislation is sophisticated and nuanced." Mary Kinnear, University of Manitoba - Canadian Journal of History

"... A welcome addition to ... women's history in Europe.This is a stimulating book." Reviews
