Bringing together disparate fields - politics, medicine, sexuality, childhood, religion, migration, and many more topics - this new collection of essays demonstrates the richness of studying empire through the lens of gender. This more inclusive look at empire asks not only why the empire was dominated by men, but how that domination affected the conduct of imperial politics. The fresh, new interpretations of the British Empire offered here will interest readers across a wide range, and will demonstrate the vitality of this innovative approach and the new historical questions it raises."--Publisher description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Commonwealth gnd Subject Man-woman relationships -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History Sex role -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History Women -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History Sex -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History Imperialism -- Social aspects SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Gender Studies.
