Women in Transnational History: Connecting the Local and the Global

Book Overview

This book offers a range of fresh perspectives on the field of women's history, exploring how cross-border connections and global developments since the nineteenth century have shaped diverse women's lives and the gendered histories of specific localities. Discussing a broad spectrum of topics from the politics of dress in Philippine mission stations in the early twentieth century to the shifting food practices of British women during the Second World War, the chapters bring women to the centre of the writing of new transnational histories. Written by an international team of authors, it is a valuable resource for students of both women's history and transnational history.
