This book considers the promise of women's and gender history for
revolutionizing our understanding of the past while also
acknowledging the current national political, financial, and other
contextual realities that can (and do) constrain or promote the
possibilities for researching and writing women's history. The
editors assert that the promise of women's and gender history is a
cutting edge field of research, "a revolutionary development in the
politics of historical scholarship," essential for understanding
the human past. Further, they argue for the inseparability of
women's history and gendered analytical approaches. The
contributors to the volume address questions including: what have
been the achievements of women's and gender history over the past
two decades? To what extent has it succeeded in making women's
history an integral part of historical study rather than an
optional specialist area? What impact has the study of manhood,
masculinities, and men's gendered power had on our understanding of
women's lives? What is the relationship between gender studies and
new critical histories of colonialism and empire, contact zones,
cross-cultural encounters, and racialization? How is new work on
cultural geography and spatial categories impacting on our
historical understandings of bodily difference? This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Women's History
Review.
