Gender of History

Auteur: Smith, Bonnie G.
Editeur: Harvard University Press
In this study of the gendering of the practice of history, Smith resurrects amateur history written by women in the 19th century-a type of history condemned as trivial by "scientific" male historians. She demonstrates the degree to which the profession defined itself in opposition to amateurism, femininity, and alternative ways of writing history.
