The Comparative Women's History
Workshop
The Value of Comparison
Women's history is implicitly comparative by virtue of its subject, but
the potential value of comparison becomes fully realized when comparative
questions are made explicit. Cross-cultural, historical comparisons allow
for conversations across the borders of region and chronology that underscore
the constructed nature of seemingly "natural" paradigms of gender. This
section of the website illustrates that potential value by examining comparison
in process in three different venues: the workshop, scholarship, and teaching.
