In calling their collection of essays Becoming Visible, Bridenthal and Koonz were making a point about the politics of historiography. The only reason that the history of women had seemed invisible was that historians had not thought it worth looking for. Raboteau suggested much the same about the cultural history of American slaves: “We should speak of the ‘invisibility’ of slave religion with irony: it is the neglect of slave sources by historians which has been the main cause of this invisibility” (Raboteau 1978, x; cf. Levine 1977, ix-xi). To Bridenthal and Koonz, the obvious response was for historians to assemble the neglected evidence which would make visible the excluded – “baptismal certificates, hospital and asylum records, indices of nutrition and health such as harvest and butchering records, deeds, wills, tax registers, marriage contracts, and burial records” (1977, 6)
