Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: A herstory, contrary to a his-story, is basically history written from a feminist perspective, encompassing and highlighting the truths generally suppressed by male authors or writers. Janet Frame and Sarah Dunant stand as the prime pioneers of this school of narrative fiction and non-fiction.
