The purpose of feminist history writing is ‘to restore women to history and to restore history to women,’ as Joan Kelly-Gadol articulates (15). To this end, feminist inquiry is linked avowedly to a political concern, that is, ‘to denounce sexism and discrimination against women, to expose the origins, foundation, and workings of patriarchy, and subsequently to formulate and implement strategies for its eventual demolition’” (Wu 85).
