This chapter reviews the major theoretical approaches and substantive contributions of feminist historical archaeology in the twenty-first century. It briefly explores the beginnings of feminist approaches in the late twentieth century, then discusses more recent theoretical approaches including black feminist archaeology, masculinity theory, queer theory, intersectionality, and personhood. The chapter then summarises substantive research contributions in gender roles and the division of labour, identity, gender and class, masculinity, institutions, pregnancy and childbirth, and sexuality. This research is illustrated with examples from Euro-American, African American, Native American, Latin American, and Asian American contexts and perspectives
