Gender in World History Hardcover - 2000

by Peter N. Stearns; Peter Stearns


From the publisher

From classical times to the twentieth century, Gender in World History is a fascinating exploration of what happens to established ideas about men and women, and their roles, when difficult cultural systems come into contact.

First line

What happens when a society that emphasizes women's obligation to be deferential to men encounters people from another society that believes that women are by nature more moral than men?
