Focusing on the late nineteenth century to World War II, the book examines how American women influenced the professionalization of history, traditionally a male-dominated field. Through their contributions as writers, preservationists, educators, archivists, government workers, and social activists, women played a crucial role in reshaping historical practice. Julie Des Jardins highlights their significant yet often overlooked impact on the evolution of history as a discipline during this transformative period.
