Challenging current perspectives of urbanisation, this volum discusses gender in an urban context in European and colonial towns from th 14th to th 20th century. Organised into six parts covering economy, space, civic identity, material culture, emotions and the colonial world, it explores topics ranging from women and citizenship in medieval York to gender and tradition in 19th- and 20th-century South African cities, reframing our understanding of the role of gender in constructing the spaces that form our urban environment. It is a valuable resource for all researchers and students interested in gender, urban history and their intersection throughout the past five centuries.
