Reviews"As humanities departments shrink and streamline, Patricia Owens reminds us that erasure impoverishes us all." ---Emily Baughan, Times Literary Supplement, "[ Erased] s uccessfully challenges the masculine, selective story of IR, brings women's work to light and excavates the interlinked hierarchies, those of race, class, empire, sexual identity etc, that work to marginalise the women. . . .Owens' milestone work invites future research that could pull more deeply on these threads. Overall, Erased is a must read for any serious student of the discipline. In highlighting these erasures, the book also reminds a new generation of female IR scholars the value of their own work and scholarship." ---Shireen Manocha, LSE Review of Books

SynopsisHow a field built on the intellectual labor and expertise of women erased them The academic field of international relations presents its own history as largely a project of elite white men. And yet women played a prominent role in the creation of this new cross-disciplinary field. In Erased , Patricia Owens shows that, since its beginnings in the early twentieth century, international relations relied on the intellectual labour of women and their expertise on such subjects as empire and colonial administration, anticolonial organising, non-Western powers, and international organisations. Indeed, women were among the leading international thinkers of the era, shaping the development of the field as scholars, journalists and public intellectuals--and as heterosexual spouses and intimate same-sex partners. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, and weaving together personal, institutional and intellectual narratives, Owens documents key moments and locations in the effort to forge international relations as a separate academic discipline in Britain. She finds that women's ideas and influence were first marginalised and later devalued, ignored and erased. Examining the roles played by some of the most important women thinkers in the field, including Margery Perham, Merze Tate, Eileen Power, Margaret Cleeve, Coral Bell and Susan Strange, Owens traces the intellectual and institutional legacies of misogyny and racism. She argues that the creation of international relations was a highly gendered and racialised project that failed to understand plurality on a worldwide scale. Acknowledging this intellectual failure, and recovering the history of women in the field, points to possible sources for its renewal., How a field built on the intellectual labor and expertise of women erased them The academic field of international relations presents its own history as largely a project of elite white men.
