1. The Material Culture Of Gender
A collection of interdisciplinary essays exploring how everyday objects, domestic interiors, and commercial goods both reflect and construct ideals of femininity and masculinity in American life across several centuries. Through case studies of clothing, furniture, decorative arts, and consumer practices, contributors reveal the gendered meanings embedded in design, production, use, and display. The volume links social history and material culture studies while reconsidering interpretation and narrative in museum and scholarly contexts through a gendered lens.
