उत्तर
- The restructuring of history from the perspective of women is known as ‘feminist historiography’. The fundamentals of feminism were established through the writings of French scholar Simone de Beauvoir.
- It emphasised the inclusion of women in history as well as the rethinking of the male-dominated perspective of history.
- Feminist historiography also led the historical research to focus in detail on several aspects of women’s lives, such as their employment, their role in trade unions, institutions working for their cause, their family life, etc. As a result, post-1990, women were portrayed as an independent social class in historical writings.
