Clio's Consciousness Raised

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 256.0 pages. cover worn, Women's history is developing into a new research area at a particular exciting time. It has been stimulated by two related but essentially independent develop ments: the maturation of social history and the appearance of a new women's move ment.The fourteen papers in this collection represent a sampling of this recen t research in the history of women.Although the essays range quite widely in t he times, places, and subject matter covered, they relate to one another in seve ral ways that indicate the direction that the new research is taking. First, eac h paper deals with a group of women who for the most part were not figures of ou tstanding public prominence or achievement, but who shared a set of common exper iences.Second, all the papers are concerned not to 'extract' women from histor y, but rather to place them within their social context.A third quality that unites these essays is a curiosity about myths and received opinions concerning women's nature and roles.A final aspect of all these essays is that they refle ct current concerns about women and women's roles. -- vii-viii (Preface).
