Abstract

Current Issues in Women's History, a collection of papers delivered at the International Conference on Women's History at Amsterdam in March 1986, and Bonnie G. Smith's textbook. Changing Lives: Women in European History Since 1700, provide abundant evidence of the richness and diversity of women's history scholarship. The anthology contains some interesting essays and offers a suggestive overview of the debates that arose at the conference, but it is an uneven collection of only limited value for undergraduate teaching. Bonnie Smith, however, has written a lively and comprehensive synthesis of recent scholarship on European women's history that should become one of the standard texts for classroom use.
