Print and Gender Rebellion in Early Modern Europe, 1450-1800

The first age of mass media, created by the printing press, led to a revolution in how gender was seen, portrayed, and understood in the early modern world. This course will examine people in early modern Europe who refused to conform to gender norms side-by-side with the media they created and that created them in return. It will show how their gender rebellion was enabled by the material realities of the formation and distribution of print.
