- Description
- Des Jardins explores the work of a wide variety of women historians, both professional and amateur, white and nonwhite. These historians addressed new questions and represented social groups traditionally omitted from the historical record, such as workers, African Americans, Native Americans, and religious minorities. Assessing the historical contributions of Mary Ritter Beard, Zora Neale Hurston, Angie Debo, Mari Sandoz, Lucy Salmon, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dorothy Porter, Nellie Neilson and many others, Des Jardins argues that women working within the confines of the historical enterprise collectively brought the new perspectives of social and cultural history to the study of a multifaceted American past.
