Four discuss and analyze the 19th Century writings of Harriet Martineau (British author), considered to be early examples of sociology and gender studies. A range of Martineau's writings are explored including her critical review of the Salem witch hunts and her letters to a young Irishman. Several essays focus on gendered implications of the state, for example, the European Union or the Eastern European Bloc. A third set focus on gender and social institutions and some investigate family-related issues including power relations regarding race, childbearing, the impact of religious fundamentalism, issues related to aging, health and medicine, and sport. Some are based on presentations given at the International Sociological Association Congress in Durban, South Africa in July, 2006. Others are drawn from the Martineau Society Working Seminar at National University of Ireland at Maynooth in May, 2007. Continuing in the tradition established by the "Advances in Gender Research" series, it explores gender as a social institution and social construct. The essays complement one another in their topic examination, issues and themes, adding nuance to contemporary Gender Studies. 410 0$aAdvances in gender research ;$vv. 12. 517 1 $aAdvancing gender research from the 19th to the 21st centuries 606 $aGender identity$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGender identity$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGender identity$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSex role$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSex role$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex role$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aGender studies, gender groups$2bicssc 606 $aSocial Science$xGender studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aGender identity$xHistory 615 0$aGender identity$xHistory 615 0$aGender identity$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 7$aGender studies, gender groups. 615 7$aSocial Science$xGender studies. 676 $a305.3 701 $aSegal$b Marcia Texler$f1940-$01475225 701 $aDemos$b Vasilikie P$01475226 801 0$bOCLCE 801 1$bOCLCE 801 2$bZJC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777931503321 996 $aAdvancing gender research from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries$93737350 997 $aUNINA
