In the last few decades several feminist historians have argued that women’s history and oral history have points of connection. Oral historians began to query whether the role of methodological debates derived from oral history might enhance a new discussion on the creation of sources and the subjectivity in sources – a set of questions that has been taken up by many feminist scholars; in addition oral historians early joined those who critiqued the narrative structure of historical writing. They also focused attention on the value of micro-histories, which have become much more common now than such histories were in an earlier phase of women’s history.
