- Double-weighted statement
- The output is a 218-page monograph that is the result of six years of research. Five out of seven chapters analyse a distinct set of primary research material feeding into the main argument of the book. This diverse set of data includes: postwar psychiatric archival material, second-wave feminist theory, history of demographic thought, and recent EU policy documents. The in-depth and multi-perspective historical analysis is used to evidence the innovative argument of the book of gender as a historically specific idea and tool of power, the articulation and assessment of which is laid out in the remaining two chapters.
