 Gender and Migration: A Historical and Inclusive PerspectiveBeatrice Zucca Micheletto ()
Chapter Chapter 1 in Gender and Migration in Historical Perspective, 2022, pp 1-35 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract In this article I argue that the gender perspective, together with the bottom-up approach and the inclusive approach—i.e. observing how individuals act in concrete contexts and in an array of “different” migrations (national/international, temporary/seasonal/permanent)—provide a fruitful framework for observing and understanding the role of women in historical migration, while avoiding one major risk of women’s studies, i.e. reducing women to an essential category. In this chapter I go through scholarly literature on migration and gender in order to illustrate the original approach of this book. The “gendered approach”—often limited to contemporary societies and international migration—is here applied (also) to early modern and modern societies, as well as to different kinds of migration in a range of geographical and chronological contexts.
