On women's history and economic history

Abstract

Women's history at the university level can be seen as an interdisciplinary movement, with researchers working in disciplines other than history itself, such as the history of ideas, sociology, anthropology and literature, among others. My initial wish here was to give a broad overview of the state of women's history in Sweden today, but this would have involved too long a discourse.¹ But it needs to be stressed that the connections across the usual boundaries of the academic disciplines are many.²
