Features: History is not only for history itself but also provides local resources for current research. All humanities and social sciences without a foundation in history are just castles in the air; any research that cuts off local resources is doomed to have no future. This book is compiled based on the follow-up results of the roundtable discussion titled "History, Historiography, and Gender." This roundtable invited influential scholars in the fields of Chinese historiography and anthropology, adopting a combination of "Personal Statements" and "Free Forum" formats to discuss issues related to gender studies in historiography and women's history research, thereby promoting both traditional Chinese historiography and the development of women's history. This book can serve as an introductory text for scholars in the field and also opens the door for in-depth women's history research and the full integration of gender perspectives into traditional historiography.
