Historical research was driven to focus in depth on various aspects of women’s life. Explain it with its reason.
Answers
The picture of history and the record of earlier life and facts was pertinently and absolutely dominated by the presence of men and their images.
The perspective of men on women was reflected to frame their picture or image in the record of history.
Hence, it was a man writing the history focusing on himself and presenting himself as per his view.
On the other hand, women were painted in the light of the male perspective again and were written as the inferior human creature or at best someone not worth noticing or getting into intelligible details of her.
But now, local people including women are reflected in the modern history scholars and feminists, historians realised and projected the importance of women in the society, but in history, it was projected in the record of history and experiences in the very work of writing the history.
Hence, the historical research was driven to focus in depth on the women's life and its dimensions that were yet to be discovered and repainted.
