The papers presented during this panel by Ixon Fink, Martin Sklar, and Robyn Muncy are published on the H-SHGAPE website located at http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/-shgape/wiebe/index.html Muncy's paper praises Wiebe's work, but also highlights its limited attention to female progressives; Robyn Muncy, “The Search for Order Reconsidered,” paper presented at the 1997 AHA meeting, January 3, 1997, http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/-shgape/wiebe/muncy.html
