Geschlechtergeschichte ALS Gesellschaftsgeschichte

This volume contains texts written by Karin Hausen on gender history. Up to the early 1970s this topic was virtually unknown. Her untiring research is to thank for this no longer being the case since the 1990s. This book collects her contributions outlining the content and methods of gender history and provides new horizons for cognitive approaches. They are devoted to themes such as gender roles in bourgeois society, in households and technology as well as how gender differences are revealed at work and in the economy.
