Abstract

Over the past several decades the marked increase in attention given to the field of women's and/or gender studies has opened up many new avenues of study, such as women's narrative and queer theory. Mary Spongberg, Senior Lecturer in Modem History at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, sets out to complete an ambitious task by chronicling the writing of women's history from "proto-feminism" in the Renaissance to the present. Few studies of this scope have been tackled in the past; Spongberg points to a 1985 American Historical Review piece by Bonnie Smith as one of the few to look specifically at women as historical writers.
