Judith M. Bennett, who has been commenting on developments in women's and gender history since the 1980s, argues that the achievement of a more feminist future relies on a rich, plausible, and well-informed knowledge of the past, and she asks her readers to consider what sorts of feminist history can best advance the struggles of the twenty-first century. A new manifesto, <em>History Matters </em>engages forthrightly with the challenges faced by feminist historians today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br>Judith M.
