Journal of Women's History move

Dear Colleagues in Women´s History,

The Journal of Women´s History is moving to the History Department at Binghamton University where it will be edited by Jean Quataert and Leigh Ann Wheeler with Elisa Camiscioli as book review editor.

As the Journal´s incoming editors, we recognize the outstanding editorial work done by Antoinette Burton and Jean Allman and aspire to maintain their high standards. We thank them for their dedication to the Journal and to women´s history and, in this time of transition, we are deeply grateful for their generous assistance to us as we assume our new responsibilities.

We invite submission of article-length manuscripts (not exceeding 10,000 words including endnotes, 35 pages in length) accompanied by an abstract that summarizes the argument and significance of the work (not exceeding 150 words). We are interested in articles based on original empirical research as well as reflections on conceptual, theoretical, and methodological issues in women´s history. Given the Journal´s broad readership and increasingly transnational direction, we encourage reflection on the wider implications of each study. We also welcome letters to the editor in response to recent articles.

Beginning around April 15, 2010, all new manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Women´s History should be submitted online at http://journalofwomenshistory.org .
Please check this website for the actual day online submissions "go live." Peer reviewers and journal staff will also use the system for all communications regarding manuscripts. This new process will allow us to streamline the submission and review processes, speed up
acceptance and revision times and automatically track information regarding authors, reviewers, and Journal content. Any resubmission of manuscripts that were originally submitted before April 15, 2010 should be sent via email to the editorial office at jwh@binghamton.edu.

Recognizing that access to the internet is not universal, we will accommodate those who cannot use the on-line submission process. For further instructions, please contact the editorial staff at:
