What is the aim or goal of your writing: "To recreate history in an interesting, relevant, and lively manner." 2nd ed. says, "My aim as a teacher and writer of history is to try to make the past come alive by examining the lives of real people, ordinary people in the past. At the moment, I find women's history the most exciiting and rewarding field of research."
