On the whole, the contents give the reader a close and searching look at the events and social currents behind these shifts, as well as insight into their historical significance., The concluding volume in this highly praised series continues the provocative survey of the role of women in our century through the 70s...This series persists in generating much excitement as a source to survey the mature emergence of gender studies in history...This work has become a touchstone for all future studies of women's history. Each volume assembles an international cast of scholars...specialists from many fields, introducing expository and theoretical historical essays about the function of women in history. The work avoids easy polemic and presents demanding, academically elaborate hypotheses about the nature and special procedures necessary to women's history...These essays are written with rigor, methodologically complex engagements, reflecting state of the art of continental historical research and interpretation. This emerging perspective will revolutionize how history will be thought and taught., A welcome new installment of the acclaimed series, Volume 5 surveys Western women's history through the 1980s. Again, the focus is not strictly chronological; the work examines the social factors of the 20th century in the context of traditional women's issues.
