Answer» Historical research was driven to focus in depth on various aspects of women’s life. Points: - In the beginning, historiography was dominated by male point of view. - French scholar Simone de Beauvior, helped in establishing the fundamentals of feminism. - Feminist historiography emphasised not only on inclusion of women in history but also on rethinking of male dominated perspective. - It drove historical research to focus in depth on various aspects of women’s life such as their employment, their role in trade union; institutions working for their cause, their family life etc. - In historical writings after 1990, women were portrayed as an independent social class. |
