Social History

Social historians attempt to understand everyday human experience, and in particular to construct narratives of the lower socioeconomic classes and other groups not represented in traditional literary or governing circles--the subject of political, intellectual, and military histories. Closely related to social history are women's history, cultural history, economic history, and labor history.
