Anglo-American Gender History turns 40!
Joan Wallach Scott’s 1986 article “Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis” turns 40 this year. Published in the American Historical Review, this article laid the ground on which Anglo-American gender history is built.
Do you assign “Useful Category”? Has it been a meaningful text for your work? Maybe you’re new to Scott’s work and want to tell us how it looks from the vantage point of 2026. No matter your experience, we’d love to hear what this piece – the most searched-for AHR article on JSTOR! – means to you. We’ll compile the comments as a collaborated document published on Nursing Clio.
And stay tuned: next year is the 50th anniversary of the Combahee River Collective and their Statement. We’ll be soliciting comments on the role the Statement has made in your understanding, your teaching, and your activism!
