We are grateful to everyone who has assisted us with this project in some way. First, we express our thanks to Amelia Derkatsch, Palgrave’s Commissioning Editor for Gender Studies, for initially approaching us to work on a project of this nature. She has also been an invaluable contact for us, particularly in the latter stages of finalising the Handbook. Second, we are grateful to various colleagues who have supported us from the early stages of the project, right through to its completion. Finally, we owe a debt of gratitude to the 41 scholars who contributed to this Handbook. Ever since the project first began, their willingness, enthusiasm and punctuality have made our job as editors so much easier, and it has been a pleasure for us to work with them on this project.
