Women and gender in international history: theory and practice

Most governments and global political organisations have been dominated by male leaders and structures that institutionalise male privilege.

As this book reveals, however, women have participated in and influenced the traditional concerns of international history even as they have expanded those concerns in new directions.

Karen Garner provides a timely synthesis of key scholarship and establishes the influential roles that women and gender power relations have wielded in determining the course of international history.
