Abstract

The authors of this collected volume pursue answers to gender-historical questions as part of a complex comprehension of the history of the sciences and humanities. In so doing, they thematize several interconnected layers, including: individual and group protagonists, systemic components, structural moments of gender difference, and scientific practices. In this manner, however, they privilege an understanding of gender research that is concentrated on studies of women and femininity. Corporeal, sexual, and masculine features remain, along with inter-sex relations, merely perspectives of scientific history. After this volume, these aspects prove to be areas for expansion.
