Murasaki and Comnena: Two Women and Two Themes in World History.

Shaffer, Lynda N.; Marcopoulos, George J.

History Teacher, v19 n4 p487-98 Aug 1986

Notes recent trends toward greater treatment of Asia, Africa, and Latin America in world history courses and the related tendency to decrease treatment of women and social history. Describes how history instructors at Tufts University coped with this problem by using a thematic approach. Illustrates this approach using the example of two medieval women authors who typify two themes. (JDH)
