Gender and Segregation : An Introduction

Hellman, Lisa LU orcid ; Hillner, Julia ; Grey, Daniel J.R. and Jean-Baptiste, Rachel (2025) In Gender and History 37(3). p.795-804
Abstract

This introduction to the Special Issue explores the ways in which a gendered analysis illuminates histories of segregation. It argues three key points. First, it is essential to understand segregation from an intersectional perspective, one that fully integrates gender alongside other factors and dynamics in order to fully understand the differences and similarities in segregation between different regional and temporal contexts. The second is the need to go beyond the most obviously applicable and well-known historical examples of segregation to other times and places. Third, focusing on segregation is not, and should not be, limited to processes of seclusion alone.
