Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe rnA History from the French Revolution to The Present Day

---

Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe explores the central role of gender and sexuality in shaping modern European history from the French Revolution to the present day. The book highlights how social, political, economic, and cultural transformations are deeply intertwined with changing constructions of gender and sexual identities. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the authors examine shifting discourses on femininity, masculinity, sexuality, and civil rights within the contexts of revolution, industrialization, imperialism, war, and the rise of modern feminist and equality movements. Rather than focusing solely on women’s history, the book investigates the intersections of gender with class, race, and power, offering a nuanced framework for understanding Europe’s historical development. By tracing these dynamics across two centuries, it demonstrates that gender and sexuality have been not merely private matters, but fundamental forces in shaping European society and politics.
