| Abstract | "Women's history traveled a long and fascinating path before it became a respected and recognized academic field in twentieth-century America. This book explores the field's development as a multiracial and multigenerational effort, going beyond the careers of individual women historians to focus on how the discipline itself took shape. Focusing on the crucial period between 1900 and 1968, Jennifer Banning Tomás shines a light on the work performed by archivists and professional historians that gave women's history its own identity and legitimacy. The women in Reclaiming Clio laid the groundwork for the field's remarkable expansion during the final wave of twentieth-century feminism after 1970, when a genuine movement for women's history emerged. Their contributions made the later success of women's history possible. Tomás reveals the dedication and vision that turned women's history into the thriving, influential field it is today"-- Provided by publisher. |
