Historical classification

	Feminist History of Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Feminist historians of philosophy have argued that the historical record is incomplete because it omits women philosophers, and it is biased because it devalues any women philosophers it forgot to omit.
		She argues that the feminist appropriation/inheritance approach to the history of philosophy is an ideology.
		Feminists who view the philosophical canon as a resource to be mined for ideas useful to feminism are engaged in a potentially oppressive activity since the history of philosophy is replete with ideas and theories that are (or might be) oppressive of women today.

	Christine de Pizan
		Revisionist histories, rewritings that take into account the formerly ignored subjects of traditional histories (and here I mean histories of women as well as those of other groups marginalized by class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc) are impossible to create within the parameters of the existing dominant systems of history.
		This history inevitably entails a revision of the primary hegemonic historicism through responses by women and by historicists to the repeated historical erasure of female perspective.
		In much the same way, feminist historians can choose to be selective in their readings of history, can read accepted history in a questioning light, and can find in the margins of most historical discourse scraps of useful material that can be re-presented as part of their growing history of women.

	Feminist History, or the Lack Thereof (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		History, apparently, isn't history at all until everyone involved is dead and buried.
		The history of the women's civil rights movement is not taught in your average public school.
		So we should strive to know our history before it slips away, while the women who fought in the 60s are still around to give us the skinny, and we should strive to not let it slip away at all.

	FS : About the journal Feminist Studies : History
		This feminist network believed that the women’s movement needed an analytic forum to engage the issues raised by the movement and to bring together the contributions of feminist activists and scholars.
		The title, Feminist Studies, was chosen to indicate that the content of the journal would be both scholarly and political and would foreground women as a social group and gender as a category of analysis.
		Feminist Studies is still housed at the University of Maryland and through the Department of Women’s Studies enjoys office space and a small financial stipend.

	Feminist history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminist history refers to the re-reading and re-interpretation of history from a female perspective.
		It is not the same as the history of feminism, which outlines the origins and evolution of the feminist movement.
		The goal of feminist history is to explore and illuminate the female viewpoint of history through rediscovery of female writers, artists, philosophers, etc, in order to recover and demonstrate the significance of women's voices and choices in the past.

	Intersections: Feminist History in Japan: National and International Perspectives
		[3] Feminist history in general investigates the historical similarities and differences in gender relationships in different places, thereby creating a basis for understanding and for the potential of global, feminist strategies in a world that is clearly witnessing increasing globalisation.
		In this initial phase of women's history research, interest in forms of marriage and in the subjects of matriarchy and matrilineality in Japan was generally characterised by the influence of translations of Morgan and Engels.
		She conceived women's history as science, and central to her studies was the conviction that women have been and are a historical force in all periods.

	FEMINIST ANTHROPOLOGY
		In summary, feminist anthropology has contributed a diverse group of voices to the field from the point of view of the researcher, in addition to representing voices from a plethora of different groups of women.
		As part of a broader feminist project, it has been a part of the promotion of women voices and interests, insisting that women be heard, even when they may have to take more subtle approaches to authority through acts of resistance.
		Feminist scholars have been influential in the fight for women’s rights for pay equity in the U.S. and the right to work in the public or private sphere, and have stressed that women have the right to make choices for themselves.

	Educational Background
		Weiner concludes her article by urging feminist practitioners towards three areas of action: challenging curriculum content, reviewing pedagogy and the hidden curriculum, and in the role of feminists as professional teachers.
		Weiner writes her paper from a feminist perspective in that she views the National Curriculum for history as an attempt to devalue women.
		By using the history curriculum as her abstraction Weiner seeks to revitalize history as a school subject and concludes that in reality not much has changed from old curriculum materials.

	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most feminists are especially concerned with social, political and economic inequality between men and women (in the context of it being to the disadvantage of women); some have argued that gendered and sexed identities, such as "man" and "woman", are socially constructed.
		The feminist movement was rooted in the progressive movement and especially in the reform movement of the 19th century.
		Feminist critiques of men's contributions to child care and domestic labor are typically centered around the idea that it is unfair for women to be expected to perform more than half of a household's domestic work and child care when both members of the relationship also work outside the home.

	BBC/OU Open2.net - Social Change - Feminist history and women's history
		The history of women may be, in part, the history of their ill-usage because of the nature of the evidence.
		But it is also the history of their ingenuity, of their efforts to make things work, to circumvent the disadvantages of their sex.
		But it is clear, through work done on the history of women, that marriage, fertility, childbearing and child rearing, all central to women's lives in an age when the lone woman had little legal status and when children were the hope and support of the future, that these are very specific to time and place.

	Feminist History Preserved By Those Who Lived It
		The history of the struggle for women's equality, however, can be overlooked or misrepresented by mainstream historians and publishers, simply because women still are discriminated against and their lives marginalized.
		Love, who is editing the Directory of Feminist Pioneers, says: "I have been working on this project for four years now because I think there is a crying need to recognize the grassroots feminists who devoted the best part of their lives to improving the lives of all of us...
		The large majority of these feminists are still alive and active, and it is imperative that their stories be recorded now, in order to make this a truly living document.

		Covering a broad sweep of history from colonial to contemporary times and ranging over the fields of legal, social, political, and cultural history, this book, according to its editors, 'intrudes into regions of the American historical narrative from which women have been excluded or in which gender relations were not thought to play a part.'
		State formation, power, and knowledge have not traditionally been understood as the subjects of women's history, but they are the themes that permeate this book.
		They show how the field of women's history has moved from the discovery of women to an evaluation of social processes and institutions.

	Feminist Law Professors » Blog Archive » What Is “Feminist” Legal History?
		A student asked me this question: may legal history scholarship properly be categorized as “feminist” because it includes (or even centers) women in an otherwise conventional narrative? I think the answer is no, not any more. Writing about women’s experiences at one point may have been a “feminist” act, but that is no longer true.
		I agree that sensitivity to women’s experiences is a necessary precondition to feminist scholarship (whether legal history or not). I would add, however, that the same sensitivity, standing alone, does not make scholarship “feminist.”

	\| Book Review \| Labour History, 82 \| The History Cooperative
		Somewhat ironically, this local labour feminist paper was the indirect result of attempts by an almost exclusively male Communist Party of Canada (CPC) to implement directives originating overseas.
		The frequently veiled disappointment at the indifference of union men to labour women's struggles is there, as is the more open hostility towards middle class feminist reformers who combined consideration for their less fortunate sisters with condescension.
		It is fitting, then, that a new generation of labour feminists with greater institutional clout should rescue these voices from the past.

		These shared concerns include the ways that history and national politics shape, constrain, distort, and nurture feminist politics; the intersections of memoir and biography with larger cultural and social developments; and the role of the visual arts in expressing, framing, and furthering radical visions.
		The assumptions of the Western feminist leadership of the IAW about the "backwardness" of Arab women produced a complex mixture of openness and condescension in their attitude to Arab women's movements.
		As a result, when in the 1920s and 1930s Arab women united around the cause of Palestinian nationalism, the fragile relationships that had been formed between Western and Eastern feminists were compromised by the IAW's failure to understand that for Arab women, female emancipation was linked to emancipation from imperialist domination.

	Making Women's History, Feminist Press
		A visionary thinker, Beard devoted her life to reconstructing a history that had remained largely undocumented and unacknowledged before she began her ground-breaking work.
		She held a firm conviction that women had a far greater impact on history than male historians had ever recognized, and that a knowledge of their own history would enable women to realize their full potential as active members of society and agents of social change.
		Making Women's History: The Essential Mary Ritter Beard restores Beard to her well-deserved place at the core of early-twentieth-century feminist history and thought.
