Ulrich explains how that happened and what it means by looking back at women of the past who challenged the way history was written. She ranges from the fifteenth-century writer Christine de Pizan, who wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Book of the City of Ladies, \u003c\/i\u003e to the twentieth century's Virginia Woolf, author of \u003ci\u003eA Room of One's Own. \u003c\/i\u003eUlrich updates their attempts to reimagine female possibilities and looks at the women who didn't try to make history but did. And she concludes by showing how the 1970s activists who created \"second-wave feminism\" also created a renaissance in the study of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Thatcher Ulrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400075270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400075270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.16w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/16\/2008 pg. 24","brand":"Laurel Thatcher Ulrich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046540538111,"sku":"9781400075270","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cc90e0d-c384-4f89-8c4d-bdb37e7a99b6.jpg?v=1684985130","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/well-behaved-women-seldom-make-history-laurel-thatcher-ulrich-9781400075270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
