Bob and Ben talk with Lisa Fine about the ways that viewing history through the lens of gender can help us understand the past. Lisa explains the origins of women's history, the impact that gender theory had on the field of history, and why it's important to think about both masculinity and femininity when considering gender. This is the third installment in our methodology series, which also includes RTN #119 Karl Marx and History and Historical Narratives and Power (available on our Patreon page).
Dr. Lisa Fine is Professor of History at Michigan State University who specializes in US Labor, Working Class, and Women's and Gender History. She is the author of several articles and two books, the most recent of which, *The Story of Reo Joe: Work, Kin, and Community in Autotown, USA*, (Temple University Press, 2004) received multiple awards. She was also one of Ben's mentors at Michigan State and, many years ago, provided Bob with a reading list of good books to help direct his love of history.
