Aims and scope

Women’s History Review is an international journal whose aim is to provide a forum for the publication of new scholarly articles in the field of women’s history. The time span covered by the journal includes the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries as well as earlier times. The journal seeks to publish contributions from a range of disciplines (for example, women’s studies, history, sociology, cultural studies, media studies, film studies, literature, anthropology, politics, social policy and philosophy) that further feminist knowledge and debate about women and/or gender relations in history.

We welcome a variety of approaches from people from different countries and backgrounds. In addition to main articles the journal also publishes shorter ‘Viewpoints’ that are possibly based on the life experiences, ideas and views of the writer and may be more polemical in tone. A substantial Book Reviews section is normally included in each issue. All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
