"Susan Kingsley Kent's "Gender and Power in Britain, 1640- 1990 marks another milestone in hte effort to integrate the history of women and the history of gender into textbook accounts of historical change. Kent's new account of the last three hundred and fifty years is remarkably successful in placing gender atthe very center of hte history of Britain and the British empire.."
-Joy Dixon Albion (University of British Columbia)
..."accomplishes that often called for but rarely executed synthesis of social and political narratives about the past...In its combination of accessible prose, conceptual sophistication, chronological sweep, thematic scope, and engagement with the latest scholarship, Kent's book is without effective rival."
