Abstract

The collected volume edited by Angelika Epple and Angelika Schaser offers an international overview of as well as detailed insight into current gender-historical and historiographic research. On the one hand, the contributions expand on the traditional historiographic canon and interrogate, on the other hand, the gender-based decisions for inclusion and exclusion in history scholarship. But this growth in knowledge does not significantly promote the demand for a reformulation of “general” (historiography-)history, which can already be considered traditional in terms of gender history. A first step in this direction might be possible through the formulation of a theory of difference, which can become an analytical framework for a pluralistic “new” narrative.
