Part of McGraw-Hill's Explorations in World History series, this brief and accessible volume examines the evolving roles of women in modern history, how major world historical processes changed women's lives, and how women in turn influenced history. Within the distinct time period covered in each of chapters, the authors explores a variety of issues impacting the everyday lives of ordinary women, including life-cycle, sexuality, education, class, politics, and economics. The book's brevity makes it an excellent companion text for students in world history, women’s history, introductory sociology and anthropology courses, and women’s studies courses.

Women in World History brings together the most recent scholarship in women's and world history in a single volume covering the period from 1450 to the present, enabling readers to understand women's relationship to world developments over the past five hundred years. Women have served the world as unfree people, often forced to migrate as slaves, trafficked sex workers, and indentured laborers working off debts. Diseases have migrated through women's bodies and women themselves have deliberately spread religious belief and fervor as well as ideas. They have been global authors, soldiers, and astronauts encircling the globe and moving far beyond it. They have written classics in political and social thought and crafted literary and artistic works alongside others who were revolutionaries and reform-minded activists. Historical scholarship has shown that there is virtually no part of the world where women's presence is not manifest, whether in archives, oral testimonials, personal papers, the material record, evidence of disease and famine, myth and religious teachings, and myriad other forms of documentation. As these studies mount, the idea of surveying women's past on a global basis becomes daunting. This book aims to redress this situation and offer a synthetic world history of women in modern times.
