NEW DATABASE: Defining Gender Online, 1450-1910

We now have access to the Defining Gender Online collection from Adam Mathew Digital. 

The database has been added to the Research pages and the Women's Studies section.  

"The study and analysis of gender, leisure and consumer culture has now become one of the most vibrant areas of social, cultural and intellectual research, transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries. This exciting collection of original source material from British and European archives will enrich the teaching and research experience of those studying history, literature, sociology, education and cultural studies from a gendered perspective.  The broad ran
ge of thematically organised documents from 21 libraries provides an excellent opportunity for comparative study and research. Manuscripts, printed works and illustrations combine to address the key issues from both masculine and feminine perspectives. They are indexed to provide ready accessibility for students by person and subject across all five sections..."
