Review :
The editors convincingly show that for many of these women, history was a tool to demonstrate political or moral lessons ... The book illuminates professions and universities, and elegantly delivers the editors' promise to analyze historical consciousness. (Canadian Historical Review) ... together [the essays] provide a coherent sense of the challenges facing women who dared to approach the throne of historical inquiry ... the contributors to this volume have done more than add women to the historiographical canon; they helped to redefine the canon itself. They have also produced a very readable volume, a testimony to the historiographical shift toward a narrative style that makes this book accessible to more than just a few 'scientific' historians. - Margaret Conrad (Canadian Book Review Annual) ... one of the best-edited collections of historical writing that I have read for some time....It is chapters such as these that not only make this book but provide very useful additons to course reading lists as examples of well researched and written biographical case studies and institutional histories ... Overall, ... this is a collection of women's history that should be on the shelves of a university library. - Lynne Trethewey (History of Education Review)
