Abstract

This article explores a number of themes in feminist historical writing in Ontario history. It points to the different genres in which such work first appeared, assesses how feminist work has expanded or altered our knowledge of various periods and themes of the existing literature, and examines the contributions made by feminist historians to new areas of research. It concludes with a discussion of areas yet to be considered and suggests possibilities for new feminist frameworks for Ontario history.
