Yet, gender played a crucial role in shaping the lives of the inhabitants of all pre-modern urban communities, both physically and conceptually, as a fundamental element of human identities, social relationships and the larger political, economic and cultural networks in which they were embedded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe wide range of case studies in this book spans various facets of gender during the ancient, medieval and early modern periods in Mexico, China, Britain, Italy, Carthage, Greece, Asia Minor and Persia. \u003ci\u003eGender and the City before Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e offers insights into the similarities, differences and convergences of gender as practiced in cities around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989274673381,"sku":"NP9781118234433","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118234433.jpg?v=1761783476","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/gender-and-the-city-before-modernity-isbn-9781118234433","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
