Reviews

The Fantasy of Feminist History is Joan Wallach Scott's most important intervention in the field of gender history since her classic article of 1986. In her usual lucid prose, she invites us to rethink gender analysis in psychoanalytic terms and thus enrich our analytic vocabulary for understanding human existence. Her critiques of sexual difference and cultural construction dramatically change our notions of gender norms. Her elucidation of fantasy as a historical category of analysis is also groundbreaking. This book is a must-read for all historians and gender scholars. --Mary Louise Roberts, author of Disruptive Acts: The New Woman in Fin-de-Siecle France
