The bloggers' roundtable on History Matters: Patriarchy and the Challenge of Feminism began this week with a post on The Adventures of Notorious Ph.D, Girl Scholar. Notorious Ph.D responded to Judith M. Bennett's book on feminist theory and historical perspectives by examining two major questions: Should (feminist) politics be historical? and Should (professional/academic) history be political? Readers responded with comments a' plenty.
Hopefully, the History Matters discussion will grow as the roundtable turns to Historiann's blog next week.
