About this document
Gender and Sexuality in Early Modern Society by Saurabh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses gender, the body, and sexuality in early modern English society. It explores how gender was a central aspect of identity but also fluid and changing over time. While early modern society was patriarchal, privileging men, the patriarchal system was complex with exceptions and room for female agency. Religious texts reinforced distinct gender roles but conduct literature also depicted negative stereotypes that challenged complete wifely subordination.
