More Than a Decade of Publishing on Feminism and Gender

It’s Throwback Thursday and the first day of Women’s History Month. Did you know that Columbia has been a leader in gender studies, queer studies, and feminist theory since the publication in the 1980s of now-classic works such as Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s Between Men and Joan Wallach Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History? Columbia books in the Gender and Culture, Between Men– Between Women, and other series have been instrumental in the interdisciplinary development of these and newer fields such as animal and critical life studies.

Here’s a list of some of our gender studies titles that have stood the test of time:
