This two-volume survey of the history of women in western civilization spans prehistory to the present. While devoting attention to women of all classes; religions; and ethnicities; the text examines political; economic; intellectual; and social history through the lens of gender. The narrative emphasizes women's agency over oppression and makes cutting-edge scholarship in women's history accessible to a wide audience. Five major themes run throughout the narrative: the relationship between key historical events and ideas and women's lives; the history of the family and sexuality; the social construction of gender; cultural assumptions about women (versus their actual lives); and self perception and women's place in western societies. A rich collection of primary sources and biographies reinforces these themes.
