Bonnie G. Smith
Women have served the world as unfree people, often forced to migrate as slaves, trafficked sex workers, and indentured laborers working off debts. Diseases have migrated through women’s bodies and women themselves have deliberately spread religious belief and fervor as well as ideas. They have been global authors, soldiers, and astronauts encircling the globe and moving far beyond it. They have written classics in political and social thought and crafted literary and artistic works alongside others who were revolutionaries and reform-minded activists.
Historical scholarship has shown that there is virtually no part of the world where women’s presence is not manifest, whether in archives, oral testimonials, personal papers, the material record, evidence of disease and famine, myth and religious teachings, and myriad other forms of documentation. As these studies mount, the idea of surveying women’s past on a global basis becomes daunting. This book aims to redress this situation and offer a synthetic world history of women in modern times.

批評家のレビュー
College instructors looking for a decent textbook that includes a strong perspective on women’s roles throughout history for an undergraduate world history survey course will find that Smith’s Women in World History is a great selection. Widely celebrated as a leading scholar in women’s and gender history, Smith (Rutgers Univ.) does a superb job of balancing theoretical concerns with historical inquires in this global study of women’s history over the past 500 years, written primarily for an undergraduate audience. To many, this is an impossible task to achieve, but Smith has accomplished it triumphantly. Not only does she provide a concise and accurate narrative of historical events, she also celebrates women’s agency in the globalized past. Even more impressively, the author is highly conscious of the contributions of women in non-Western societies to the formation of the modern world, making this a truly global world history book. The glossary at the end of each chapter is an effective guide for teaching and review, and the lists for further reading are particularly helpful for students who want to explore each topic in greater depth. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students.
I remain in awe of the undertaking represented by Women in World History: 1450 to the Present. I plan to assign all or some of it in every class I teach … Only a scholar of Smith’s stature could pull this off … Smith continues to do what few can: depict ordinary women’s lives empathetically, reminding all of us that the placement of the silverware matters as much to world history as the politics of importing it or the ecological impacts of its manufacture.
Bonnie Smith has taken on an impossible task—to summarize the history of women across the entire globe over the past five centuries—and performed it with aplomb! She has written a book that is engaging as well as comprehensive, kaleidoscopic in colorful detail while revealing common patterns and divergent pathways across every continent. With clear prose, ample illustrations, frequent summary conclusions, and a glossary and guide to further readings, Smith has created the ideal textbook for students and teachers of global history and women’s history. And the book deserves an audience far beyond those categories. Anyone interested in the modern world and how it came to be will find fascinating insights on every page.
