We are seeking both biographical and bibliographical material on women historians and essays exploring dominant and continuing themes in women’s history. Although this is an English language project, we want to have international collaboration and aim to explore both European and non-European historiographical traditions. We are calling for suggestions, criticisms, and contributors.
