A History of Their Own - Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present, 2 Volumes, by Bonnie S. Anderson and Judith P. Zinsser, copyright 1998. Publisher: Harper & Row.
This text is is on the reading list of courses that are offered in Women's History at universities and colleges in the United States. Courses in Women's History were first offered at universities and colleges in the US in the 1970's.
The introduction to Volumn II contains this statement, "For too long, women have had no written memory of themselves. This book details the lives of European women, the acknowledged and the unrecognized, from prehistory to the present. ... Traditional approaches to history must be adjusted and augmented to include the female as well as the male. The result will be a retelling of the human past enriched and made complete, a retelling that will give us for the first time a true history of humanity."
Information or references to Emilie du Chatelet are found at eight locations in this text.
