Editor's note.(Editorial)
As I write this, I have just finished my first year back in women's studies, after a sixteen-year hiatus spent full-time in a history department. It has been invigorating and challenging, and it has made me realize how profoundly women's studies has influenced women's history, and vice versa.
And this issue illustrates that at every turn. We begin with a fifth contribution to our series of retrospectives on classic books, articles, and concepts in the field of women's history, focusing on Adrienne Rich's foundational and controversial "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence," an article first published in Signs. A historical reflection by a non-historian, the article has shaped and continues to shape interpretations of women's relationships in the past.
Next, Eileen Boris and S.J. Kleinberg offer reflections on labor and welfare histories, considering the historiography of these fields and offering broadened definitions of both work and family. This is an essay crafted from the perspective of intersectionality, a concept basic to women's studies. Previewing Boris's guest-edited special issue on "Women's Labors," forthcoming in winter 2004, this piece melds the history of wage labor with domestic production, caregiving, and politics.
