| Abstract |
""The Gendered Republic" brings together emerging and established historians of gender who use the latest perspectives, theories, and tools to interrogate the foundational history of the U.S. nation-state. By bringing women's history into conversation with masculinity studies, this collection uncovers connections between gender and religion, law, science and medicine, material and popular culture, class, and race. In addition to the original essays, two historiographical overviews of women's history and masculinity studies provide guidance on the evolution of these fields and present new subjects rife for exploration"-- Provided by publisher. |

"An authoritative assessment of the early American republic through the lens of gender What does it mean to study early American history through gender? The essays in this collection, written by the best emerging and established historians in the field, bring together women's history with masculinity studies to showcase the transformative impact of gender history on our understanding of the early American republic. In addition to state-of-the-field historiographical overviews, The Gendered Republic features essays that use gender history to suggest new chronological and geographic frameworks, broaden understandings of politics and citizenship, highlight the complexities of intersectional identities, and explore new approaches that center bodies and sexualities. Collectively, the contributors showcase the vibrancy of gender history as a frame of inquiry, revealing how shifting notions of women's and men's roles shaped the lives of people in the early American republic-White, Black, and Indigenous-and how those people, in turn, experienced and redefined gender and, with it, their communities, cultures, laws, families, and nations.Contributors: Jacqueline Beatty, York College of Pennsylvania * Rachel Hope Cleves, University of Victoria * Shannon C.
