A Primer for Teaching Women, Gender, and Sexuality in World History

“Magnificent! This primer is at once a how-to manual for designing a stimulating history course, a guide to navigating higher-ed bureaucracy, an invitation to reflect on your own pedagogical practice, and an outstanding annotated reading list. In concise, topical chapters and lucid prose, Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks and Urmi Engineer Willoughby offer foundational perspectives on two major fields, explore an intersection between them that's at the cutting edge of scholarship, and still manage to offer practical advice for engaged teaching, especially for lower-division college students. It's a remarkable accomplishment and a lively read.” - Laura J. Mitchell, University of California, Irvine

“Geared to the novice instructor but useful for experienced teachers who are revamping their courses, this primer is an informative and excellent guide. Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks and Urmi Engineer Willoughby’s book should appeal to teachers of various persuasions in different kinds of institutions—no mean feat!” - Eileen Boris, coeditor of The Practice of U.S. Women’s History: Narratives, Intersections, and Dialogues

"As world historians, Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks and Urmi Engineer Willoughby present effective discussions of the opportunities and problems associated with this most comprehensive field. Brimming with stimulating ideas and resources. . . . Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." - T. P. Johnson, Choice

"Its central contribution is how it opens a complex women’s and gender studies field for historians by providing them with practical advice and a carefully annotated list of sources and possible texts to assign. . . . The Primer is valuable as a starting point for historians seeking to include Women’s and Gender Studies material in their courses." - Adam Kozaczka, Polish Review
