Why are most famous historians men? How have women changed the
writing of history over the last decades? What lives and stories
have been hidden from history? Until recently history was
predominantly the domain of men. That men were the authors of our
past meant that in many cases only half of the story was told. In
the second half of the twentieth century, however, the picture
changed. Women, and indeed some men as well, started to address
gender history. Women had been investigated historically before,
but never with such intensity, nor such breadth. The impetus for
this writing was both political and academic as feminists were
determined to explore lives which until then had been disregarded.
Gender and the Historian charts the entry and development of this
new history, showing how such considerations furthered
postmodernism and ultimately reinvigorated the very core of
History..
