Call for panelists for BHC 2023: "Reinventing Women's Business History" or "Underused Sources for Women's Business History" or "New Sources and Methods for Women's Business History"

Please contact Susan Ingalls Lewis (lewiss@newpaltz.edu) if interested in forming a panel on the topic: "Reinventing Women's Business History" or "Underused Sources for Women's Business History" or "New Sources and Methods for Women's Business History"

In light of the 2023 BHC meeting theme of "reinvention," Susan Ingalls Lewis and Kari Zimmerman are looking for a third paper for their panel proposal on unusual/underused sources and methods for women's business history. Their papers will focus on (1) employing nineteenth-century British literature as a source for female micro-entrepreneurship, and (2) using gender as a lens of analysis of financial records (court/notarial) in nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro.

We would welcome a paper from any geographic region or time period -- the more diverse, the better.
