Abstract:
"What are the relations between feminism and history, feminist politics and historical practice? What are the connections between gender and class? What part have racial identities and ethnic difference played in the construction of Englishness? Through a series of provocative and richly detailed essays Catherine Hall explores these questions. She argues that feminism has opened up vital new questions for history and transformed familiar historical narratives. Class can no longer be understood outside of gender, or gender outside class. 'White, male and middle class' explores the roots of middle-class English identities by examining the concepts of power, gender, and race as well as England's imperialistic past. Hall traces the evolution of feminist history and speculates on the future of this constantly-evolving discipline."--Back cover
