| Abstract: | Florence Rosenfeld Howe died on Saturday, September 12, 2020. She had created an indelible life of magnitude and consequence. In 1982, when Howe was 53 years old, she published an influential article in "Change," "Feminist Scholarship: The Extent of the Revolution." If the article now seems conventional, that is a sign of how much Howe and her contemporaries have achieved. Then, it was a provocative signpost of what women's studies was and should be. Lucid, like all her prose, it interweaves two histories: of self and women's studies, and more largely, of self and society. This article serves as a witness to her greatly beneficial accomplishments in the field of women's studies. |
