- Description
- Klein shows in this book, that contemporary feminism, once 'disrobed' from the rhetorical garb of eauality with men, is laid bare as having a single-minded political agenda - the achievement of privilege over men. This goal, it is argued, is blatantly inconsistent with any reasonable notion of equality, and creates an insidious sexism apparent in the behavior of feminists themselves. In the final analysis, Klein urges readers to embrace a productive and healthy account of justice, merit and overall human excellence.

- Description
- The story of the world's earliest international feminist movement as a champion of women's rights in the United States, Britain, France and Germany. At the height of the Victorian period, early feminists united to fight for the cause of women, called for a new kind of marriage based on companionship, claimed the right to divorce and to get custody of their children. They rejected the traditional view that women's subordination was preordained, natural, and universal.

- Description
- This book studies male activists in American feminism from the 1830s to the late 19th century, using archival work on personal papers as well as public sources to demonstrate their diverse and often contradictory advocacy of women’s rights, as important but also cumbersome allies. Focussing mainly on nine men — William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, James Mott, Frederick Douglass, Henry B. Blackwell, Stephen S. Foster, Henry Ward Beecher, Robert Purvis, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the book demonstrates how their interactions influenced debates within and outside the movement, marriages and friendships as well as the evolution of (self-)definitions of masculinity throughout the 19th century.

- Description
- Investigation of the use and function of the proverbial language in the personal relationship between the nineteenth-century feminists Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) and Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906), and their vast correspondence, the appearance of the proverbial rhetoric in their many speeches and essays, and their innovative employment of proverbial quotations from such documents as the ‘Declaration of Independence' to further their cause. It also looks at how proverbs in their traditional wording or as innovatively changed pieces of wisdom were used to argue both for equal pay and education of women and to overcome the misogyny of the established church. A final chapter looks at how the Biblical proverb “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you†became a powerful verbal tool to justify their call for equal rights for women. These chapters are followed by an index of proverbs and proverbial expressions that are listed in their contexts with information as to their source and date.
