Re-Presenting the Past: Women and History

Autor Ann Marie Gallagher, Cathy Lubelska, Louise Ryan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2001
 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.

'an essential addition to courses on both women's history and historiography' History

Textul de pe ultima copertă


This collection of new essays by feminist historians is a lively and engaging look at the
innovative work being done in the field of women s history.

As well as engaging with the processes through which women have been silenced, excluded 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 upon a variety of research methods, and approach a wide range of sources including oral histories, autobiographies, biographical texts, newspapers and court reports. The authors explore how issues of sexuality, class, nationalism and colonialism informed the ways in which women have continued to be represented in stories of the past.

All the contributions in this volume argue as much by example as discussion, that feminist analysis enables us to change our knowledge and understanding of women in history. In short, this volume engages with the representation, misrepresentation and re-presentation of women within accounts of our past(s).
