Gender & History (GH)
Journal Descriptions
Gender & History is a leading international forum for scholarship on the historical dimensions of gender and sexuality. Founded in 1989, it has established itself as a central venue for rigorous and innovative research that examines how gender has been constructed, experienced, and contested in past societies. The journal features work that expands historical knowledge beyond traditional narratives by foregrounding the lived experiences, institutions, norms, and discourses that shape gender identities and relations. Contributions span a wide range of topics, from the gendered politics of power, labour and violence to everyday practices of intimacy, embodiment and community, as well as intersections with race, class, religion, and empire. By publishing interdisciplinary and comparative research, the journal fosters dialogue between historians and scholars in allied fields, encouraging methodological reflection and conceptual innovation. Its triannual issues include articles, review essays, and critical commentaries that engage with both established and emerging areas of gender history. With an editorial collective drawn from institutions in the UK, Canada and beyond, Gender & History connects global perspectives while shaping the theoretical and empirical boundaries of gender as a category of historical analysis. Its commitment to scholarly excellence and historical creativity has made it a foundational publication in gender studies and historical research.
