| Ceasing to look at women alone, hsitorians of women now emphasize the importance of gender as a principle of social organization. In this way, they are alsowriting about men. This shift from women to gender prompts historians of women to view all history, not just women's experiences, from the perspective of women. Although it has proven difficult for most non-women's historians to incorporate women's history in their writings, historians of women are integrating women into the mainstream of U.S. history by expanding the scope of their analysis to inculde men. Women's hsitory has become gender history not because historians of women are less interested in female-specific experience, but, on the contrary, because they learn more about female-specific experience when they compare it to male-specific experience. This change has come about because historians of women are incresingly writing about public power - an enterprise that carris them more directly into the analysis of male authority in the public domain. The result has been new paradigms of power as they relate to larger themes in American history. therefore, women's history is now a vehicle for understanding those larger themes in American history as well as a means for analyzing issues posed by women's lives | |
