Over the past thirty years feminist historians have challenged and
changed the way history is written. This self-critical dialogue
between women has resulted in the development of a richly reflexive
feminist historiography. "The Feminist History Reader" gathers
together key articles that have shaped this historiography and
introduces students to the major shifts and turning points in this
dialogue.
The Reader is divided into four sections. Part one looks at early
feminist historians' writings following the move from reclaiming
women's past through to the development of gender history. Part two
focuses on the interaction of feminist history with 'the linguistic
turn' and addresses the challenges made by poststructuralism and
the responses it provoked. Part three examines the work of lesbian
historians and queer theorists in their challenge the heterosexism
of feminist history writing. The final part of the Reader looks at
the work of black feminists and postcolonial critics/Third World
scholars and how they have laid bare the ethnocentric and
imperialist tendencies of feminist theory. Each reading has a
critical introduction and guide to further reading.
Including a comprehensive, general introduction, this is a wide
ranging guide to developments in feminist history and is essential
reading for all students of history.
