Women's History at the Cutting Edge

This book considers the promise of womens and gender history for revolutionizing our understanding of the past while also acknowledging the current national political, financial, and other contextual realities that can (and do) constrain or promote the possibilities for researching and writing womens history. The editors assert that womens and gender history is a cutting edge field of research, a revolutionary development in the politics of historical scholarship, essential for understanding the human past. Further, they argue for the inseparability of womens history and gendered analytical approaches.

The contributors to the volume address questions including the following: What have been the achievements of womens and gender history over the past two decades? To what extent has it succeeded in making womens history an integral part of historical study rather than an optional specialist area? What impact has the study of manhood, masculinities, and mens gendered power had on our understanding of womens lives? What is the relationship between gender studies and new critical histories of colonialism and empire, contact zones, cross-cultural encounters, and racialization? How is new work on cultural geography and spatial categories impacting on our historical understandings of bodily difference?

This book was originally published as a special issue of Womens History Review.
