Collection of new essays by feminist historians offering an engaging look at the work being done by feminists in the field of women's history.

Looking at the processes, through which women have been excluded, silenced and misrepresented in stories of the past, all of the chapters in this book demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodologies they propose as remedy for this. Re-representing the Past: Women and History is composed of a series of case studies which, with the exception of Melanie Ilic's chapter, will all focus on Britain, Empire, or the Commonwealth.

Feminist history continues to change the way history is written, and in doing so changes our view of the past. The authors of this collection explore how issues of sexuality, class, nationalism and colonialism informed the ways in which women were represented and continue to be represented in history. They show the ways in which women have been excluded, silenced and misrepresented in stories of the past, and how women's lives have been distorted or simplified in conventional historical accounts. Together, they suggest fresh ways of approaching women's history, and use examples of work in new areas of research such as women's health and leisure in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the various methodologies being proposed.
