In almost all societies and epochs, the heroic is often gendered. However, the social and cultural production of the heroic cannot be understood exclusively using the tools of masculinity research, and just as it does not seem to make sense to understand women and femininity as merely exceptions in this context. Rather, it is important to take the relational character seriously. This volume is the first attempt to make gender fruitful as an analytical category for heroism research. Based on a variety of humanities approaches, this category serves as a tracer of the heroic and as an instrument for examining historical conditions, media and performative manifestations as well as temporal conjunctures and transformations. This needs to be remeasured using the gender category and the associated characteristics.
