She argues that feminismhas opened up vital new questions for history and transformedfamiliar historical narratives. Class can no longer be understoodoutside of gender, or gender outside of class. But English identities have also been rooted in imperial power.White, Male and Middle Class explores the ways in whichmiddle-class masculinities were rooted in conceptions of power overdependants - whether black or female.
