- W2969294038 abstract "A Circuitous Path Christine D. Worobec (bio) I came to the study of women's history in part because of the nature of my dissertation research on the history of the family and commune in post-emancipation imperial Russia and in part due to fortuitous circumstances and influences. As a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto from 1979 to 1984, I had become aware of the fact that two pioneering feminist scholars at the university (and recent immigrants to Canada), Natalie Zemon Davis and Jill Ker Conway, had in 1971 introduced the very first women's history course (Society and the Sexes in Early Modern Europe and in America) at a Canadian university and one of the first courses at a North American school of higher learning. At a time when textbooks on the subject had not yet been written, they cobbled together every document and reference pertaining to women they could find with the help of their graduate students Louise Tilly, Alison Prentice, and Germaine Warketin. Although I had been an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto between 1973 and 1977, I had no knowledge of this pathbreaking course or of the fact that a minor in women's studies had been approved for the academic year 1974–75. By then Assistant Professor Natalie Zemon Davis, after almost a decade of teaching as an adjunct, had moved on to a tenure-track position at the University of California, Berkeley, and Associate Professor Jill Ker Conway had become the University of Toronto's first female vice-president. Much later, I learned that Conway had been instrumental in the creation of that minor and later major in women's studies and fought successfully for women's equal pay among the faculty. Thus, in spite of our having been at the same institution, as an undergraduate and beginning graduate student I am chagrined to admit that I had been oblivious to Zemon Davis's and Ker Conway's pioneering efforts. Nevertheless, Zemon Davis's early writings, especially The Return of Martin Guerre, which I read as a doctoral candidate, introduced me to [End Page 591] the exciting world of rebellion, the charivari, and the intricacies of French village life.1 Having just reread Zemon Davis's 1997 ACLS Charles Homer Haskins Lecture, I was reminded of the profound influence that the work of the Annales School—in particular the seminal writings of Marc Bloch, Pierre Goubert, and Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie—had on Professor Davis's initial research and writings on early modern France. That knowledge gives me some comfort, because the writings of the same Annalistes, to which Julian Dent and Edward Shorter introduced me, as well as the works out of the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure shaped my own, much more modest research in and writing on social history.2 The so-called new agricultural, family, and demographic histories could and did lead historians to grapple with the dilemma of how to write the histories of the nonelites—the illiterate or barely literate and often voiceless members of society—when documents privileged literate elites, who had been predominantly men. The nature of agricultural work and issues of household composition and hierarchy as well as average ages at marriage and first children forced historians finally to pay attention to women's experiences and agency. As the descendant of Ukrainian peasants from the Habsburg Empire, the product of late 1960s Canadian culture that privileged multiculturalism or ethnic identity over what had previously been an assimilationist Wasp-dominated society, and the first person in my family to attend university, I embraced the new social history. The history from below empowered me to rebel against the dominance of the nationality paradigm that denied peasant societies respect and agency and to fight back against the only instance of gender discrimination I experienced as a graduate student, when I was told that I should not pursue a doctorate in history. Russian peasant women's voices, captured in 19th-century collections of oral history and ethnographies, caught my attention, as did peasants' legal and extralegal actions, many of which had gender implications.
