"Most governments and global political organizations have been dominated by male leaders and structures that institutionalize male privilege. As Women and Gender in International History 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. From the early-20th century onward, women have participated in state-to-state relations and decisions about when to pursue diplomacy or when to go to war to settle international conflicts. Particular women, as well as masculine and feminine gender role constructs, have also influenced the establishment and evolution of intergovernmental organizations and their political, social and economic policy making regimes and agencies. Additionally, feminists have critiqued male-dominated diplomatic establishment and intergovernmental organizations and have proposed alternative theories and practices. This text integrates women, and gender and feminist analyses, into the study of international history in order to produce a broader understanding of processes of international change during the 20th and 21st centuries"--

"This book originated as an undergraduate research project and public report-which was an experience and outcome none of us could have anticipated when we started this research in late 2017. Over the course of a semester in spring 2018, a group of fourteen undergraduate women at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill conducted most of the interviews for this book, helped with the data analysis, and presented our findings at an event in Washington D.C. with more than 100 practitioners from both sides of the aisle in the room. During the ensuing year, a smaller group of students worked to fashion the report into this book, conducting additional interviews, collecting and analyzing more data, and expanding our themes and findings. These undergraduate researchers did all of these things as they were stepping into their first jobs post-graduation shortly after launching the initial report and finishing the first draft of the book manuscript. Unfortunately, they subsequently encountered similar workplaces that their comparatively older peers described to them months earlier. In their first professional work, members of our research team experienced firsthand men acting unprofessionally and devaluing their skills because they were women. Others experienced unprofessional male bosses who yelled at all of their employees, regardless of gender. Others decided not to pursue certain opportunities because, thankfully, male allies warned them of toxic workplaces and the sexual behaviors of principals at political tech firms. Sadly, then, many of the findings in this book were validated by these women's own first experiences in the political workforce. At least this project prepared them for what was to come. But in offering up their experiences and advice our interviewees helped prepare the next generation for the workforce, even as they are helping to change it. It is in this spirit that we offer this book to you"--

Why is a focus on gender so important for interpreting the world in which we live? Sixteen world-famous scholars have been brought together to address this question from their respective fields: Political Theory, Philosophy, Medical Anthropology, Law, Geography, Islamic Studies, Cultural Studies, Philosophy of Science, Literature, Psychoanalysis, History of Art, Education and Economics. The resulting volume covers an extraordinary array of contexts, ranging from rethinking trans* bodies, to traumatized tribal communities, to sexualized violence, to assisted reproductive technologies, to the implications of epigenetics for understanding gender, and yet they are all connected by their focus on the importance of gender as a category of analysis. The publication of this volume celebrates the anniversary of the launch of the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Cambridge, and features contributions from past and future Diane Middlebrook and Carl Djerassi Visiting Professors to the University.
