Gender Studies

Gender studies are often the topic of interest in our feilds of publication. We have gathered them here for those interested in seeing what the critical mass looks like. We publish a number of titles in anthropology, history, archaeology and sociology of interest to gender studies instructors, students, and researchers. We welcome additional projects in this area.
