Abstract

Feminist historiography, which at the beginning was influenced by positivist approaches to the issue of women, went to historical sources, and then with the help of post-structuralist ideas, made gender the main focus of its historical studies, which sought to expand historical and historiographical issues beyond a specific gender. History studies based on gender were first started by a feminist historian named John Wallach Scott in America. By integrating historiography and philosophy and presenting the gender theory, he discussed the racist use of sexual liberation and proposed gender as an analytical tool for historians. Many researchers and thinkers put this theory as an approach to understanding historical studies in the field of women, and sometimes, regardless of the theoretical foundations of this approach, they used it as the only postmodern theory in the field of women's history studies; Therefore, the article aims to examine the issue of gender in historiography, while introducing Wallack Scott's thoughts, he will reflect on his epistemology and historiography. In line with this purpose, this article explains what propositions and with what kind of epistemological view Wallach Scott proposes gender in historiography in order to understand the meaning of history; while applying post-structuralist thought in criticizing language and denying the natural body based on postmodern feminist epistemology, Scott has presented the theory of gender analysis as a method in historical studies and historiography.
