As Elizabeth Le Blond declared, ‘there is no manlier sport in the world than mountaineering’, encapsulating the pervasive attitudes of the era. Despite such views, several women like her navigated these constraints, forging spaces of resilience and agency. Victorian guidebooks and literature often advised women to avoid strenuous terrains and instead focus on more gentle activities, reinforcing a narrative that segregated their participation. Yet, through travel narratives, artistic depictions and personal accounts, many women subtly subverted these boundaries. This paper also examines the complex relationships between female climbers and local male guides, as evidenced in the writings of Amelia B. Edwards, revealing how these interactions both challenged and reinforced societal expectations. By uncovering these nuanced dynamics, the study argues that while mountaineering was predominantly male-dominated, women played a significant, yet deliberately overlooked, role in its history, negotiating and redefining their place within the mountains.</p>","PeriodicalId":46382,"journal":{"name":"Gender and History","volume":"37 3","pages":"864-874"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-0424.12849","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These marriages took place in many small towns throughout metropolitan France, yet these couples could not travel to Morocco. The French government expressly stated that entry to Morocco was forbidden by French authorities in Morocco ‘to French women married to Moroccans or wanting to marry Moroccans’. Furthermore, this visa ban was highly gendered and racialised, only banning one form of marriage: colonial authorities specified that ‘these concerns are not necessary in the case of marriage between a French man and Moroccan woman’. Mixed marriages were permitted within metropolitan France and in the colonial sphere if between French men and Moroccan women, but couples made up of Moroccan men and French women were refused entry to Morocco.</p><p>This article examines these relationships through approximately fifty case files held in the French colonial archives that show the limits of colonial racial segregation: which interracial couples were forbidden entry to Morocco or denied permission to marry by the French colonial state to maintain segregation and colonial racial hierarchies.

In the mid-1980s, male survivors of sexual abuse were just starting to come together in grassroots self-help groups and therapists’ offices. By the early 1990s, a growing number of books and memoirs as well as formalised organisations existed to support them. Despite interlocking stereotypes of sexually abused boys as destined to become both gay and abusive, gay and bisexual men served as leaders in this movement because they had already defied the gender and norms that made it so difficult for male survivors to come forward. Due to their experience in other activist struggles, they also had the skills and knowledge needed to organise groups and events, write self-help literature and speak to the media. By facilitating public expressions of male pain and vulnerability, as well as greater recognition of male sexual victimisation, the men discussed here complicated and enriched feminist analyses of childhood sexual abuse, while also helping to transform broader understandings of masculinity and the family.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46382,"journal":{"name":"Gender and History","volume":"37 2","pages":"512-522"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
