Description

First published in 1975, Him/Her/Self was a groundbreaking work that expanded the scope of women's history to include both men and women. Peter Filene's pioneering study analyzed the interactions between American men and women over the past century, providing a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics.

In this third edition, Filene updates his analysis to reflect changes in historical thinking about gender since its initial publication. He explores new developments in men's movements, including pro-feminist and anti-feminist perspectives, as well as the evolving experiences of gay and lesbian individuals. The book also assesses the achievements and challenges faced by the women's movement over the past quarter-century.

Through a nuanced examination of social roles and identities, Filene sheds light on the complex and dynamic nature of self in historical time. This study remains an essential resource for scholars and students seeking to understand the workings of gender in history.
