Merry Weisner Hanks' newest Gender in History: A Global Perspective, 2nd edition (Oxford: Blackwell, 2010) is about to hit the market joining Bonnie Smith's (ed.) four volume Women's History in Global Perspective (American History Society: 2005) and her Oxford Women in World History, five volumes (Oxford: Blackwell, 2008) as outstanding works in womens' and gender history. Peter Stearns' Gender in World History, 2nd edition (Routledge, 2006) along with Judith Zinsser works, and Ulrike Strasser and Heidi Tinsman at UC-Irvine provide other outstanding research on this important and still new area of history.

1500-Present teamed with Pt. 1, by Catherine Clay, et. al (McGraw

*********************** Anderson, Bonnie S. and Judith P. Zinsser, A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present, vol. 2. Scott, Joan Wallach. Gender and the Politics of History I believe the Scott has a really good overview of historiography of women's history, but both are Western based. Russia's Women: Accommodation, Resistance, Transformation, ed with Barbara Evans Clements and Barbara Alpern Engel (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1991) Sheila Fitzpatrick and Yuri Slezkine, eds. In the Shadow of the Revolution: Life Stories of Russian Women from 1917 to the Second World War (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000). There are many more really wonderful works, but the Clement is a collection highlighting much of the work on women and the patriarchy in late Imperial/Early Soviet and the Fitzpatrick is a fabulous collection of short memiors from various periods in Soviet history. *********************** Asia: http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/tps/1450.htm#economy http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson3.html (lesson
