Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis
Author(s)Scott, Joan Wallach
AbstractIn a critique of academia and research, the author argues that the study of gender must go beyond the study of women. She argues that gender analysis must encompass gender’s role in constituting social relationships more broadly and in signifying other relationships of power. The author provides a new definition of and a new methodology for studying gender.
