The Roots of Contemporary Issues series is a groundbreaking educational initiative that was developed by a team of historians at Washington State University. This series is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to address controversial and pressing issues in mature, reasoned ways, using evidence, critical thinking, and clear written and oral communication skills.

The series is built on the premise that students will be better prepared to face current and future challenges, no matter their major or career path, if they are capable of addressing controversial and pressing issues in mature, reasoned ways using evidence, critical thinking, and clear written and oral communication skills.

To help students achieve these goals, each title in the Roots of Contemporary Issues series argues that we need both a historical understanding and an appreciation of the ways in which humans have been interconnected with places around the world for decades and even centuries.

Much of the world's politics revolve around questions about gender and imperialism, including the relationship between gender and empire over the last five hundred years. There are no easy answers to these questions, but the decisions that all of us make about them will have tremendous consequences for individuals and for the planet in the future.

Gender Rules is the first title in the Roots of Contemporary Issues series, and it introduces students to history from the point of view of controversial and pressing issues that they already know about and many of whom already feel invested in. Each chapter includes both Western and non-Western content, allowing readers to understand the deep past as connected to the present, and to see that the West has interacted with non-Western regions for centuries.

The series is designed to be accessible to students of all backgrounds and interests, and it is intended to help students develop a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it. By providing students with the tools they need to address complex issues, the Roots of Contemporary Issues series is helping to create a more informed and engaged citizenry.
