Gender in Modern Welsh History: Perspectives on Masculinity and Femininity in Wales from 1750 to 2000 (Gender Studies in Wales)

An in-depth study of the impact of gender in modern Welsh society.

This edited collection offers a reappraisal of gender as a category of analysis in modern Welsh history. Beginning with sex work in the eighteenth century and concluding with women’s late twentieth-century antinuclear activism, the contributors examine how gender has been constructed, represented, performed, and experienced by men and women at different times and places throughout Wales’s modern past.
