British women writers and the writing of history, 1670-1820
by Devoney Looser · 2000
"The first book to look at British women writers and their contributions to historiography during the long eighteenth century, British Women Writers and the Writing of History, 1670-1820, asks why, rather than writing history that included their own sex, some women of this period chose to write the same kind of history as men - one that marginalized or excluded women altogether."--BOOK JACKET.
