Reviews

'Why are pens seldom gendered while shoes are? Why should girls play with dolls and not boys? Gender and Material Culture is a unique contribution to what has been defined as a material turn in history, covering hitherto unexplored areas of the complex relationship between gender and material things in Britain since the seventeenth century.' - Giorgio Riello, University of Warwick, UK
