Defining Gender database

The database Defining Gender, 1450-1910, from Adam Matthew Publishers, is now available throughout the university. This is a collection of original source material from 21 British and European libraries and should prove useful to researchers interested in history, literature, sociology, education, and cultural studies from a gendered perspective.
The collection includes manuscripts, printed works and illustrations that are indexed to provide accessibility by person and subject. Documents include ephemera, pamphlets, college records and exam papers, commonplace books, diaries, periodicals, letters, ledgers, account books, educational practice and pedagogy, government papers from the Home Office and Metropolitan police, illustrated writings on anatomy, midwifery, art and fashion, manuscript journals, poetry, novels, ballads, drama, receipt books, literary manuscripts, travel writing, and conduct and advice literature.
