“I hope… to encourage historians to view different dimensions of women's work and thought in context. Only then will we understand the scope of women's contributions to history as distinct from their appreciation of the limitations of the society in which they operated. Each stage of the development of "herstoryography" merits our full attention, with careful thought to the way in which all dimensions exist and relate one to the other, and with caution for the possible ways we may inadvertently create our own barriers to that which we most wish to discover…" –Janis L. MacDonald
To know women, is to read from them and about them. |
