How has feminist scholarship changed history? Writing Gender
History explores the evolution of historical writing about women
and gender from the 1930s until the early twenty-first century.
With chapters on the history of Europe, the USA, colonial India and
Africa, the disucssion moves from women's history to gender
history, and then to poststructuralist challenges to that history.
This revised edition includes an exciting new chapter looking at
recent scholarship on race, gender and sexuality in colonial and
transnational history, and on the history of the body. Highly
accessibly but also encouraging new debate, this book provides
students with a comprehensive understanding of gender history, as
well as its possible future. Reviews of the first edition:
'Ingenuity and perspicuity shine through Laura Lee Downs' superb
distillation and analysis of women's and gender history. To
understand accomplishments and changes in the field, put this book
at the top of your list.' Nancy F. Cott, Professor of American
History, Harvard University. 'Puts the entire range of women's and
gender history into context, showing how it challenges the
conventional pieties, opens up new veins of research, and
transforms our understanding of every aspect of history. Her
command of the literature is simply astounding...Sure to be seen as
a landmark in the development of the field of history in the
broadest sense.' Lynn Hunt, Professor of Modern European History,
UCLA.
