  • New, Novice or Nervous? 164: Constructing narrative

      Teaching History feature: the quick guide to the no-quick-fix

    A short pamphlet surveying the historical record of rather more than half the population of Britain over a period of a hundred years must of necessity be sketchy and incomplete. The great interest in history of women which has arisen in the last few decades has produced a great deal...
