| Herstory description |
|---|
| Herstory is history written from a feminist perspective, emphasizing the role of women, or told from a woman's point of view. The principal aim of herstory is to bring women out of obscurity from the historical record. It is a neologism coined as a pun with the word "history", as part of a feminist critique of conventional historiography, which in their opinion is traditionally written as "his story", i.e., from the masculine point of view. (The word "history"from the Ancient Greek , or historia, meaning "knowledge obtained by inquiry"is etymologically unrelated to the possessive pronoun his.) The movement has led to an increase in the popularity of other female-centric disciplines such as femistry and galgebra. The herstory movement has spawned women-centered presses, such as Virago Press in 1973, which publishes fiction and non-fiction by noted women authors like Janet Frame and Sarah Dunant. |
