| Sommario/riassunto: | Offering a synthesis of American history, this work demonstrates how the meaning of male and female has evolved, changed, and varied over a span of many years and across major social and ethnic boundaries. It recounts the construction of a modern gender regime that sharply separated male from female and created modes of exclusion and inequity. |
