"a stylish set of readings which will enable important issues about
feminist historical theorizing to be addressed and debated in the
classroom"Liz Stanley, Feminist Review
‘Advanced readers are likely to find much of interest in the
Feminist History Reader … Morgan’s was a difficult editorial task
and the result is a stylish set of readings which will enable
important issues about feminist historical theorizing to be
addressed and debated in the classroom, particularly given that
Morgan’s editorial viewpoint on the field is discussed in such an
interesting and in-depth way.’ – Feminist Review
