Scott is the author of many books, including Sex and Secularism, The Fantasy of Feminist History, The Politics of the Veil, Gender and the Politics of History, and the landmark article, "Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis," which ranks among one of the most widely cited and most influential essays on history and methodology to date.
