dc.descriptionThis edited volume examines and denaturalizes the “separate-spheres” sex/gender system that historians have identi fi ed as persisting at least from the Greek, Roman, and Christian empires into modern times in Western cultures ( Anderson and Zinsser 1988 : xiii–xiv, 96–99, 144; Donovan 2001 : 19; Matthaei 1982 : 29–31). It is important to understand the “separate-spheres” ideology, identities, roles, and practices because this sex/gender system is the deepest historical context for this volume. The dualistic ideology posits that men belong in the public sphere while women are innately inclined to engaging in private domestic pursuits (Spencer-Wood 1991a : 237).
