A History of Their Own restores women to the historical record, brings their history into focus, and provides models of female action and heroism. This revised edition provides a new introduction, an updated epilogue on women's lives in Europe since 1988, and a completely revised bibliography that includes recent scholarship. Rather than examining women's history as an inevitable progression of events along a strict timeline, this text is organized within a loose chronology, with chapters focusing on women's place and function in society. Its unique organization focuses on the developments, achievements, and changes in women's roles in society.

This classic two-volume history is an exciting and revolutionary look at women's history from prehistoric times to the present.
