Biraz "literature review" gibi bir araştırma. Kesinlikle çok fazla emek var ama hepsini yazmak mümkün olmadığından birçok araştırmadan kısaca bahsedilmiş.
Daha fazlasını öğrenmek isteyenler için epey kalabalık bir ek okuma önerileri ve referans listesi var.

Bu zamana kadarki tarihin büyük bir kısmının "erkek" tarihi olarak yazılması toplumsal cinsiyet tarihçiliğinin nispeten yeni bir kavram olmasındaki en önemli neden. Tabi ki bu da başlı başına bir toplumsal cinsiyet sorunu ama bir zamanlar (bazen hâlâ) "doğal" olanın bu olduğu sanılıyormuş. Bu yüzden, sanılanın aksine, toplumsal cinsiyet tarihçiliği sadece feminizm ya da kadın çalışmalarıyla alakalı değil, büyük oranda erkekliğin ve erilliğin de tarihi.
.
.
Kadınların yok sayıldığı, aşağı, ilkel, hakir görüldüğü ve bazen bu cinsiyetçiliğin sömürgecilik ve kölelikle bir araya getirildiği, erilliğin/erkeksiliğin üstünlük kurmak için kullanıldığından, bunun erkekler için de bir yük olduğundan bahseden bölümleri okurken içim daraldı. ABV. TŞK.
P.S. veçhe, yön demekmiş. Ne gerek vardı?

Fundamental.
The book, authored by a historian and sociologist who recently passed away, explains in plain language what gender history is, when it was born, its relationship to women's history, and the various branches into which it is divided (bodies and sexuality, relationships with other relations of difference, masculinity). Very interesting are also the final chapters, one dedicated to how gender criticism has changed our way of looking at some important historical events/processes (e.g. the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and in general the birth of the modern world), the other dedicated to the relationship between gender history and linguistic turn, and more generally to the state of the art.
An excellent handbook for those wishing to approach gender history. Its strong point is undoubtedly the clarity of exposition, which make it accessible even to those who do not have a perfect knowledge of English language. Also useful are the historiographical reviews in each chapter, which offer examples of concrete applications of the gender perspective to history. On the other hand, I noticed a repetitiveness of concepts that weighed down the reading a bit. "What is gender history?" nevertheless remains one of the best textbooks out there on this topic.

Nokkrum sinnum gripið í hana í gegnum árin (þessi bók er alltaf solid byrjunarreitur) en þetta er fyrsta skiptið sem ég les bókina í heild sinni. Handhægt og gott yfirlit yfir aðferðafræði í kynjasögu. Auðvitað ekki kafað neitt djúpt og nær ekki að dekka allt, en það er líka það sem bókin er... stutt, kjarnyrt, beinir manni á næsta stað.

Kadın ve erkek arasındaki eşitsizliğin tarihçesini öğrenmek için almıştım ama daha çok literatür taraması tadında yapılan çalışmaları özetleyen bir kitap ile karşılaştım.
Kitapta beni gururlandıran tek konu Aratürk’ün sayesinde kadınlara verilen haklardan bahsedilmesiydi. Kitabı bitirdim ama hala eşitsizliğin nedenini anlamış değilim.

Literally a bibliography book. I have discovered a lot of special books through this book. I will start reading them too, respectively. That was my favorite part of the book. I can say that the research carried out and the referenced sources attracted my attention more than the content.
In general, the book has very valuable content at the point of re-historiography. The patriarchal relations and masculine discourses that come across in official historiography are being replaced by a matriarchal world and a realistic mind with historiography again. But again within the official history...
The concept of gender is a concept that should be discussed and questioned without adding emotions. Discussing and thinking about this concept at length will certainly mean gaining a more accurate idea. Although the author of history rose the concept of gender in society and successfully evaluated at the point of writing classes, IDs, and other is evaluated in the face of political relations, although the concept of gender itself a masculine discourse, a discourse parsing at this point because I think you're different you didn't bring that I noticed. Cordelia Fine in her book The Illusion of Gender says, "Has there ever been a society in which women and men are in an equal position, perhaps the point of resistance is not biology, but our minds shaped by culture. by saying ", he brought a criticism about the perspectives of identity and class minds by focusing on the issue of the creation of the cultural factor by the patriarchy. Therefore, Rose's feminine historiography actually falls into the position of being part of official historiography. At this point, Leonore Davidoff's view that patriarchal historiography sabotaged the formation of women, which she mentioned in her book Class and Gender in Feminist Historiography, was a more realistic approach. I found the book incomplete at this point. In fact, it would be more correct to say that I was more interested in the bibliography point.
It is at an important point because it gradually conveys what exists and has happened through examples, but it is not a fluent book, it does not have any content plan. In this sense, it can bore you. However, I can say that it is quite an ideal book for those who are interested in academic research and in the subject in particular. I wish you a pleasant reading in advance.

La profesora Rose realiza una estupendamente síntesis sobre qué es la Historia de Género y algunas de sus líneas de investigación. Es interesante ver cómo en algunos aspectos trata la masculinidad y al hombre, cuando la tendencia general es ignorarlo en este tipo de estudios: se olvidan que la Historia de Género es estudiar a hombres y mujeres por igual, y contraponerlos para ver en qué se diferencian. Muy buen libro introductorio a la materia.

Toplumsal cinsiyetin (gender) tarihi ve kültürel olarak değişimini anlatan oldukça bilgilendirici bir kitap. Bazı noktalarda tarihçi olmayanlar için fazlaca referans veriyor ve takibi zorlaştırıyor. Ama meraklısına fazladan kaynak sağladığı için faydalı olabilir.

A useful and interesting introduction to many of the concepts involved in Gender History.
Rose's writing style can be a bit dense and unclear at times but it does improve.
I do feel however that an Academic Historian should know better than to refer to Native Americans as 'Indians' in an Academic text.

El trabajo de síntesis que realizó la Doctora Rose fue excelente, estoy al tanto de todo el tiempo y esfuerzo que implica leer tantas investigaciones y comprender los planteamientos principales de cada una de ellas.
Y a pesar de que es un libro introductorio, como la autora lo admite, me ayudo a comprender mejor varios conceptos, no solamente de la historia de género, sino de otros planteamientos que se hacen desde la disciplina histórica.
El único pero que pongo es que especialmente en el último capitulo la Doctora Rose hablaba de varias vertientes para poder estudiar los fenómenos históricos y en varias ocasiones me dio la impresión de que quería introducir la perspectiva de género un tanto a fuerzas.
Aun así recomiendo este libro para quienes estén interesados en temas como masculinidad, mujeres y género desde la disciplina histórica.

A phenomenal introduction, and concise overview, of the history of gender. Rose manages to explore the complexities surrounding the social construction of gender while simultaneously presenting a reader-friendly book which anyone can read.
