The annual Lilith Symposium is a valuable forum for new and established scholars to present research in feminist history and related areas. Following the 2006 symposium, A Feminist History Of Violence: History as a Weapon of Liberation?, the theme for 2007 was Her-story: Feminist Histories of Representation.
