“…Little emphasis has been placed on the impacts of accounting on women. Gallhofer and Haslam's (2003) study of the Match Girl's Strike in London, 1888 reveals the use of accounting disclosure to give publicity "to more typically suppressed voices, principally the voices of the poor and the workers (and working women especially)" (pp. 88-89).…”

Purpose -An assessment is offered of the contribution made by accounting histories of women produced since 1992 and the current state of knowledge production in this subject area.Design/methodology/approach -the study is based on a review of published sources on accounting history and women's, gender and feminist history.Findings -Whereas feminist historians and historians of gender boast substantial advances in research and transformative impacts on the wider discipline of history, similar momentum is less evident in accounting history. It is argued that over the past 15 years scholarship has remained substantially in the 'recovery' phase, has not 'defamiliarized' the sub-field and is yet to engage with developments in feminist and gender historiography which offer regenerative potential.Research limitations/implications -The paper argues that sex and gender differentiation persist in both the past and the present and their study should feature large on the accounting history research agenda.Originality/value -Core themes in feminist and gender history are explored with a view to identifying research questions for accounting historians. These themes include the oppression and subordination of women, the public-private divide, restoring women to history, devising new periodisations, investigating socio-cultural relations, and the construction of identities.

“…In recent years, such traditions have been supported by the internet as a medium for the dissemination of 'counter-information' (Gallhofer et al, forthcoming). The significance of such wider cultural phenomena for the development modern SER (and counter-SER) practice (see Medawar, 1976;Geddes, 1991;Gray et al, 1996;Gallhofer and Haslam, 2003). The name 'social audit' is perhaps especially eye-catching, and although strictly the intellectual property of the company of the same name (and ultimately misleading -the term social account would have been more accurate) it has endured and persisted in general usage.…”

“…Instead, descriptive works aiming at an explanation and understanding of the broader context are published. Again this reflects a global trend, although there have been efforts in recent research to prescriptively promote notions of 'enabling accounting' in the critical schools (see Gallhofer and Haslam, 2003).…”

“…This resonates at a limit with cultural relativistic perspectives that in international accounting regulation would not, e.g., easily prescribe universal accounting standards. In some cases the influence of postmodern thought translates into new pragmatist perspectives seeking to progress to visions of better states but more cautiously, with reflexive awareness of ambiguities of context and action (see Arrington and Watkins, 2002;Gallhofer and Haslam, 2003;Brown, 2009). …”
