Ballot & Beyond: Jean Baker | Researching Women's History
from Ballot & Beyond · host ballotandbeyond
Historian and professor Jean Baker played an important role in making a place for women in the historical record. She rightly observed that women are too often excluded from historical and academic accounts and her work in the larger women's movement helped many see that the crux of history doesn't have to be primarily male political leaders; that a traditional women's role is also incredibly important to the understanding of past and current societies.
