What next for the study of gender and the book? Important studies have drawn attention to women’s work in the manuscript and printed book trades across and beyond Europe, from classical antiquity to the present day. More recently, scholars, activists, artists and booksellers have started to ask what an inclusive bibliography might look like. Work which tackles questions of masculinity and the book trades, meanwhile, remains conspicuously scarce, even as male subjects remain the default for many bibliographers.
