Joan Scott Honored by The American Historical Review

In 1986, Joan Wallach Scott, Harold F. Linder Professor in the School of Social Science, published an article in The American Historical Review entitled "Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis." The most frequently accessed AHR article online, the journal editors consider it "one of the most oft-cited in all of contemporary historical literature." In December 2008, The American Historical Review published a forum to reflect on the influence of Professor Scott's seminal article in various fields. Five historians representing different chronological and geographical outlooks contributed essays commenting on the ways Scott's article influenced their fields. You may access the forum here.
