Re-presenting the Past: Women and History

By Ann-Marie Gallagher, Louise Ryan, Cathy Lubelska

Book Overview

This collection of new essays by feminist historians is a lively and engaging look at the innovative work being done by feminists in the field of women's history. As well as engaging with 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 in order to remedy this. The contributors draw not only upon a variety of research methods, but approach a wide range of sources including oral histories, autobiographies, biographical texts, newspapers and court reports.
