http://historyfeminism.wordpress.com Celebrating, exploring and debating the history of feminism Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:41:49 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 http://historyfeminism.wordpress.com/basic-distinctions/#comment-61 Monica Threlfall Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:42:33 +0000 http://historyfeminism.wordpress.com/basic-distinctions/#comment-61 Thank you, these distinctions are very useful. I can't fault them. As I am not a historian but a political analyst of the Spanish women's movement of the 1970s, who is finding herself obliged to act as a bit of a historian because of need to gather and interpret material of the period before it is forgotten or rewritten by male historians/political scientists, my concern is: how do we MAKE CLAIMS ABOUT WHAT DIFFERENCE WOMEN MADE TO THE HISTORY, REALITY, AND INTERPRETATIONS OF THAT PERIOD? (or any other period studied by the four types of history above). I get the impression from searching around that this is no longer a concern? Hopefully I'm wrong. Could we have a blog on this next time? I look forward to hearing from others about this issue. Thank you, these distinctions are very useful. I can’t fault them.
