Few questions cut deeper into the human experience than those of sex and gender, and Sex and Gender in Historical Perspective places these questions squarely within the sweep of European history. Edited by Eduard Muir and Guido Ruggiero, this landmark anthology gathers a rich selection of essays translated from the Italian journal Quaderni Storici, presenting some of the most innovative scholarship in social and cultural history. Each contribution chronicles the lived realities of men and women across centuries, uncovering the complex interplay of power, identity, and the body as shaped by historical forces. The collection argues that gender is not a fixed biological category but a dynamic social construction, interrogating how historical societies defined, regulated, and performed sexuality and gender roles. Muir and Ruggiero assemble a formidable range of voices that illuminate marginalised experiences and challenge conventional historical narratives. Translated with precision by Margaret A. Gallucci, with Mary M. Gallucci and Carole C. Gallucci, this volume stands as an essential resource for scholars of history, gender studies, and cultural anthropology — leaving the reader to question just how much has truly changed.
