ISBN10: 1869403053, ISBN13: 9781869403058, [publisher: Auckland University Press] Softcover Sites of Gender Men, Women and Modernity in Southern Dunedin 1890-1939 By SIGNED BY Barbara Brookes (Edited by), Annabel Cooper (Edited by), Robin Law (Edited by) Very good softback, no owner inscriptions. ISBN 1869403053 Publisher: Auckland University Press, 2003. This study is the fruit of five years' work by a group of Dunedin scholars into the complex ways in which gender operated as a social structure and a shaping force in the lives of the inhabitants of southern Dunedin in the years from 1890 to World War II. It is significant in several ways: in its reliance on the huge database developed from the 1970s by the Caversham Project; in its interdisciplinary character, with contributions from the fields of history, geography, urban planning, gender studies and clothing technology; and its use of both qualitative and quantitative analysis including some vivid and lively insights from oral history.
