British women writers and the writing of history, 1670-1820

About this book

"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.
