Women 1813-1913-2013: Introduction
In their introduction to the theme of this issue Mieke Aerts and Lex Heerma van Voss sketch very briefly a number of differences between contemporary gender history and women’s history as it emerged in the 1970s. They see gender history as moving away from a narrow focus on equal rights and emancipation: nowadays, gender is studied as a complex historical and social category, in creative dialogue with other important ‘turns’ in historiography, as epitomised by postcolonial and transnational history. In this way the articles in this issue are able to demonstrate that subjects such as consumer culture, labour relations, education and religion, are not only very relevant to gender historians, but also make a crucial contribution to our understanding of modern Dutch history.
This article is part of the special issue 'De Vrouw 1813-1913'.
In deze inleiding op het themanummer schetsen Mieke Aerts en Lex Heerma van Voss zeer globaal hoe hedendaagse gendergeschiedenis zich onderscheidt van vrouwengeschiedenis zoals die in de jaren zeventig van de twintigste eeuw ontstond. Het verschil is vooral gelegen in het verschuiven van de focus op emancipatie en gelijke rechten van vrouwen naar aandacht in den brede voor de complexe werking van sekse of gender als maatschappelijke categorisering. Op die manier treedt gendergeschiedenis in creatieve dialoog met bijvoorbeeld postkoloniale en transnationale wendingen in de geschiedschrijving en wordt zichtbaar dat thema’s als consumentencultuur, arbeid, opvoeding en religie niet alleen relevant zijn voor gendergeschiedenis, maar meer in het algemeen voor een beter begrip van het moderne Nederland.
Dit artikel maakt deel uit van het themanummer 'De Vrouw 1813-1913'.
