1.0 out of 5 stars Feminist Revisionism., July 25 2005

By A reader "A reader" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Women, Work and Family (Paperback)

This has to have the worst feminist bias of any history book I have ever read. It would lead me to believe that childbirth wasn't the primary role of women in the 18th Century. There are snide hints that women worked while men got drunk and often the author distorts what primary sources have said. For example it says that women starved themselves so their husbands and kids could eat, when what their source (Which they provide in the book.)says that men and especially women starved themselves so their children could eat. This has nothing to do with having anything against feminism. Any type of revisionism viewed through the prism of a philosophy be it feminism, marxism, Catholicism, existentialism, ect. is poor historical scholarship.
