From Library Journal

Feminist history and post-structuralist theory have changed the way we perceive history, Scott states in the introduction to these nine essays. Offering her own broad, complex, and clearly stated definition, she argues convincingly for gender's importance in historical analysis. She urges that historians constantly reevaluate the premises, definitions, and even the archival sources of history. She illustrates these challenging theoretical proposals with her work on the history of French workers. She also includes a perceptive study of the history of American women historians. The book offers tremendous theoretical insights for historians, both feminist and otherwise. Avowedly political, it will generate controversy as well as inspiration.

Review

A real tour de force.

(The New York Times )

Scott has given us an intelligent, sensitive reflection on the nature of events, of thought, of judgement, of history....The questions Scott asks deserve pursuit. They will enlarge the scope of historical understanding and spawn new questions to be asked in turn.

(The New Republic )

A tour de force -- [the essays] reveal historical imagination relentlessly moving forward...as sophisticated advocacy for the case of theory, and illumination of the state of the art of women's history, there is nothing better than Gender and the Politics of History.

(Voice Literary Supplement )
