Gender, Sex and Subordination in England 1500-1800

"In line with the finest new social history, Fletcher takes nothing for granted; anatomizing a wide system of meanings and values, his is a perceptive analysis of the predication of social order on gender order. Anxieties have often been voiced that feminist and body history might lead to fragmentation and the formation of academic ghettoes, but a reading of Fletcher should dispel these fears; for he convincingly demonstrates how it is only by grasping the production of gender categories that the inner logic of society as a whole will be revealed."Fletcher, Anthony is the author of 'Gender, Sex and Subordination in England 1500-1800 ' with ISBN 9780300065312 and ISBN 0300065310.
