feminist historiography

Feminist historiography is an approach to studying history that focuses on understanding the experiences, roles, and contributions of women and gender dynamics over time. It challenges traditional historical narratives that often marginalize or ignore women, aiming to include diverse perspectives. This method also examines how gender shapes historical events, power relations, and social structures. By doing so, feminist historiography seeks to illuminate the complexities of history and to highlight the lives and achievements of women, ultimately offering a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of the past.
