The emergence of the current field of women's history was
contemporaneous with the rise of interest in family history and
demographic history. While these fields are separable because of
their differing emphases and because of differing practitioners'
goals or interests, their subject matters often overlap. Analysis
and interpretation of women's domestic lives has required
investigation into the same data of household structure and family
relationships over time that family and demographic history
explore. This volume includes signal early articles in the history
of the family, which helped to inform the emerging field of women's
history. It represents also the continuing stream of articles on
women's social history treating marital or parent-child
relationships, or the nonconforming instance of the single woman,
in different regions and among many ethnic and racial groups in the
U.S.
The laws of marriage, divorce, property transmission and child
custody, made by men, have powerfully conditioned women's lives. In
the tradition of the English common law a woman by marrying, buried
her own legal status in that of her husband: in law she could
neither own property, sue in court, or even write a will of her
own. Through the nineteenth century and into the twentieth these
legal "disabilities" as women who crusaded to repeal to them called
them, were gradually changed, so that by the time women became
voters in 1920, the law regarded women, even married women, as
individuals similar to men in most although not all ways. This
volume includes articles which treat women's legal status and
change over time in women's interaction with the legal structures
of marriage, divorce and property.
Between 1970 and 1990 there was an evolving discussion of theory
and method in women's history, which the articles in this volume
represent. The articles span from the first articulation of a
framework to be designated "women's history", to very recent
discussion of the concept of gender in history. Also included are
critiques of standard American history texts from the perspective
of women's history, controversies among women's historians
concerning the definition of the field, and assessments of its
distinctiveness as compared to family and social history.
