retrospectives (?)
We recently had the editor of Signs, Mary Hawkesworth, speak at my institution about publishing in feminists publications. She spoke specifically about doing retrospectives - which she briefly described as similar to a historical lit review of significant work on a particular topic. Of course, i know 'lit review', but i am unfamiliar with the term retrospective. Can anyone offer some insight concerning the nature and format of such a document and perhaps a couple of examples.
thanks in advance!

- I suspect it is as simple as it looks - a scan of a period of history - a "looking back". One of the issues among feminist practitioners is the continuous process by which we lose our history, so an attention to retrospectives would address that issue.
