About this book

This A-Z reference work provides the first comprehensive reference guide to the wide range of historical writing with which women have been involved, particularly since the Renaissance. The Companion covers biographical writing, travelogue and historical fictions, broadening the concept of history to include the forms of writing with which women have historically engaged. The focus is on women writing in English internationally, but historical and historiographical traditions from beyond the English-speaking world are also examined. Brief biographies of individual writers are included.

Reviews

'No comparable volume exists...' - Pat Thane, Institute of Historical Research

'There is absolutely no competition...' - Bonnie Smith, Professor of History at Rutgers University

'This fascinating reference book is an indispensable tool for those interested in women's writing and history. Carefully crafted and thoroughly researched, it extends the traditional definition of 'History' onto a much broader canvas.' - History Today

'An invaluable resource for anyone interested in the major themes of women's writing and women's history" - Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

The extensive Companion to Women's Historical Writing is a capacious and comprehensive reference work...The real work of the Companion takes place in the longer entries, many of which are perceptive and well-judged pieces that will inform specialists and browsers alike.' - The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Studies
