- 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
- Following landmark trade agreements between Japan and the United States in the 1850s, Tokyo began importing a unique American commodity: Western social activism. As Japan sought to secure its future as a commercial power and American women pursued avenues of political expression, Protestant church-women and, later, members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) traveled to the Asian coast to promote Christian teachings and women's social activism.

- Description
- Voltairine de Cleyre belongs to a group of late-nineteenth-century freethinkers, anarchists, and sex-radicals whose writing continues to be excluded from the U.S. literary and historical canon. Gates of Freedom considers de Cleyre's speeches, letters, and essays, including her most well known essay, 'Sex Slavery.' Part I explores her contributions to the anarchist movement, her analyses of justice and violence, and her views on women, sexuality, and the body. DeLamotte demonstrates both de Cleyre's literary significance and the importance of her work to feminist theory, women's studies, literary and cultural studies, U.S. history, and contemporary social and cultural analysis. Part II presents a thematically organized selection of de Cleyre's writings, on different subjects.

- Description
- Feminists from 1848 to the present have viewed the Seneca Falls convention as the birth of the women's rights movement in the United States and beyond. In this book Judith Wellman offers a full-length account of this historic meeting in its contemporary context. The convention succeeded by uniting powerful elements of the antislavery movement, radical Quakers, and the campaign for legal reform under a common cause. Wellman shows that these three strands converged not only in Seneca Falls, but also in the life of women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

- Description
- An der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert kämpften wissenschaftlich und politisch tätige Frauen mit dem strategischen Ziel einer Enthierarchisierung der Geschlechterverhältnisse für eine 'weibliche Individualität'. Diese versuchten sie über eine Professionalisierung der 'sozialen Hilfstätigkeit' zur 'Sozialen Arbeit' durchzusetzen. Für ein leichteres Verständnis dieses (Trans-)Formationsgeschehens entwickelt Bührmann im Anschluss an Foucault das Konzept 'Geschlechtlichkeit als Subjektivierungsweise', ohne Geschlechtlichkeit zu essentialisieren oder diskursiv aufzulösen. Die von den Frauen verfolgten diskursiven und nicht-diskursiven Praktiken rekonstruiert sie mit Hilfe einer gesellschaftstheoretischen fundierten Dispositivanalyse.

- Description
- Black describes Woolf's feminist connections and writings, including her public letters from the 1920s as well as A Society, A Room of One's Own, and the introductory letter to Life As We Have Known It. She assesses the development of Three Guineas from a 1931 lecture and the way in which the form and illustrations of the book serve as a feminist subversion of male scholarship. Black concludes with a discussion of the continuing relevance of Woolf's feminism for third-millennium politics.
