ÝS¨he has transformed even the very familiar by her original thinking and her command of recent theoretical formulations.

Kathleen Brown has made a very heavy, but insightful, look into how Colonial Virginia was shaped by race, patriarchal power, and gender relations. I was really apprehensive that this book would quickly become a gender studies snore fest, but Kathleen instead creates a wonderful book that delves into the nitty-gritty of how these three elements play upon each other. Her use of how gender has influenced history has caused me to hope that other historians will start to use this lens and to see what they'll pick up from it.
