How has ‘gender’ been created, understood and experienced in different cultures over the centuries? How have differently gendered people interacted with community, economy and power? <\/strong>With a focus going beyond western assumptions about categories of the self, this set seeks to recognize the wide diversity of approaches to human identity and behaviors.

In a work that spans 2,500 years these ambitious questions are addressed by 62 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material they illustrate broad trends and nuances of the culture of gender around the world from early civilization to the present. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six.

The six volumes cover: 1. Early Civilizations; 2. Antiquity; 3. The Global Middle Ages; 4. The Early Modern World; 5. The Age of Modernity; 6. The Contemporary World.

Themes (and chapter titles) are: philosophy and science; Health and Medicine; Law; Politics and War; Economics; Creative Expression; Religion and Belief; The Non-Human World; Intimate Relationships.

The page extent for the pack is approximately 1600pp. Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index.
