      Exploring the contributions of British women writers to historiography from 1670 to 1820, the book examines why some women opted to replicate male-dominated historical narratives that marginalized their own gender. Devoney Looser highlights that while these writings may not have been explicitly feminist, they played a crucial role in shaping discussions around the genre of history. This work challenges the perception of history as a male-only domain, revealing the complexities of women's involvement in historical discourse during the long eighteenth century.
