- Description
- In this study Bolt sheds light on the differences in the area of race, class and internationalism, which flourished in an era of political reaction, economic insecurity, polarising nationalism and resurgent anti-feminism. The author reveals how the conflicts were seized upon and publicised by contemporaries, and how the activists themselves were forced to confront the increasingly complex tensions. in particular, the American and british women's movements grew further apart as British women became more conscious of American money, expectation of influence and opposition to the existence of Britain's empire.

- Description
- In Ethnic Pride, American Patriotism the author presents a history of inter-war America from the perspective of new Slovak and Eastern European immigrant communities. .Like the groups that preceded them, Slovak immigrants came to define being American as adhering to its political principles: they saw no contradiction between being patriotic Americans and maintaining pride in their ancestry. To counter the negative effects of the 1924 immigration law, Slovaks mobilized a variety of political and cultural activities to insure group survival and promote ethnic pride. In numerous localities 'Slovak days' brought first and second generation immigrants together to celebrate their dual identity. .Alexander's study adds complexity and nuance to entrenched notions of conflicts between tradition-bound immigrants and their American-born children. Showing that ethnicity mattered to both generations, Alexander challenges generalizations derived from 'whiteness' studies

- Description
- What effect did the two world wars have on the relations between women and men? Women’s crucial contributions to war efforts challenged assumptions about their social roles. Why did this not produce permanent changes in gender relations? Drawing on comparative material - from government policy to popular media, poetry and fiction, and personal letters - this book examines the reconstitution of gender relations that occurred in many Western countries during both world wars.

- Description
- This book places Edith Wharton and her writing in the context of fashion history and shows how dress lies at the very center of her thinking about art and culture. The study traces American patronage of the Paris couture and places Wharton’s characters in these establishments to offer new readings of her well-known novels. Less known are Wharton’s knowledge of and involvement in the craft of garment making in her tales of seamstresses, milliners, and textile workers, as well as in her creation of workshops in Paris during the First World War to employ Belgian and French seamstresses and promote the value of handmade garments in a world given to machine-driven uniformity of design and labor.

- Description
- In this book Nielsen illustrates the conflict over gender ideologies that split America in the 1920s. Nielsen uncovered evidence of a massive right wing conspiracy against the women’s movement in the 1920s, supported by the American Legion and a War Department determined to prevent further reductions in military spending. In this time when a president jails citizens without charge or trial and political appointees secure their power by spreading unreasonable fear and suspicion, few histories are as timely as Un-American Womanhood.

- Description
- This book tells the story of the 223 women who served in the United States Army's Signal Corps in World War I as the first American women soldiers, such as Grace Barker and Merle Egan. General John Persing demanded female 'wire experts' to keep him connected with troops under fire as without communication the army would collapse. In 1918 they were deployed to France as operators of the telephone switchboard. The book reveals the challenges the women faced in a war zone with bombardments and male soldiers. The army discharged the last 'Hello girls' in 1920, only to be denied recognition as veterans and veterans' benefits while in the same year Congress ratified the Nineteenth Amendment granting the ballot and gave women the right to vote. The women began a sixty-year battle that a handful of survivors carried to triumph in 1979.

- Description
- Each essay describes an aspect of the battle that lasted from the 1850s to the passage of the suffrage amendment in 1920. From the movement's antecedents in the minds of women like Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Wright, to the historic gathering at Seneca Falls in 1848, to the civil disobedience during World War I orchestrated by the National Woman's Party. Contributors focus on how the suffrage battle was interwoven with constitutional issues at the federal and state level and how the suffrage struggle played out in different regions, especially the West and the South, as well as the activities of opponents to women's voting. Baker's introductory essay sets the stage for revisiting suffrage by making explicit the similarities and differences in interpretations of suffrage and shows how the movement intersected with other events in American history and cannot be studied in isolation from them.
