Using cutting-edge digital methods, the Beyond Notability team has reconstructed the lives and work of these women from fragments of information held in major UK cultural heritage institution archives. Juxtaposing broad overviews of work and education, family and empire, with focused case studies on lecturing, history-making, excavations, and folklore collecting, the book presents macro and micro histories in parallel, while centering women's experiences and trajectories, as well as their voices. In this way, it is a major contribution to the histories of women's work. By interweaving practice with analysis, it offers a valuable critical and reflexive model for revealing archives' wealth of historical information on marginalized individuals and groups. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amara Thornton,Katherine Harloe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911507699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911507697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of London Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Amara Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097190375679,"sku":"9781911507697","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-working-the-past-amara-thornton-9781911507697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
