HIST338: Writing Women's History |
This unit will examine how different historians have approached the writing of women's history since the Renaissance. Until recently it has been widely assumed that women did not produce historical writing before the rise of Women's Liberation in the 1970s. Recent historiography has however broadened our understanding of both the nature of historical writing and women's contribution to it since the early modern period.
This unit will both recover and re-evaluate the historical writing of women since the Renaissance. The unit will also chart the relationship between women's history and the development of other historical sub-genres such as social history, the Annales, black historiography, cultural history and labour history as well as the relationship between women's history and feminist theory.
