A.Word.A.Daywith Anu Garg
noun: History as seen from a woman’s point of view, one that doesn’t obscure women’s role.
A blend of her + history, from Latin histor (learned), ultimately from the Indo-European root weid- (to see), which is also the source of guide, wise, vision, advice, idea, story, and polyhistor. Earliest documented use: 1970.
“It’s high time that the historical playing field is levelled to introduce a balance between history and herstory.”
