- Description
- This book chronicles the dawn of the global movement for women's rights in the first decades of the twentieth century. Marino introduces readers to Latin American and Caribbean women who forged global feminism out of an era of imperialism, racism, and fascism. Six activists form the heart of this story: from Brazil, Bertha Lutz: from Cuba, Ofelia Domingez Navarro: from Uruguay, Paulina Luisi: from Panama, Clara Gonzalez: from Chile, Marta Vergara: and from the United States, Doris Stevens. This Pan-American network drove a transnational movement that advocated women's suffrage, equal pay for equal work, maternity rights, and broader self-determination.

- Description
- In this study of midcentury American sex and culture, the author traces the origins of the ‘sexual revolution’ of the 1960s. Building on research on postwar society, she tells the history of diverse young women who stood at the center of major cultural change and helped transform a society bound by conservative sexual morality into one more open to individualism, plurality, and pleasure in modern sexual life.

- Description
- In this study of nineteenth-century America, the author offers an interpretation of the literary movement known as American regionalism. She argues that regionalism in New England was part of a widespread woman-dominated effort to rewrite history. She demonstrates that New England regionalism [1900-1960] was an intellectual endeavor that overlapped with colonial revivalism and included fiction and history writing, antique collecting, colonial home restoration, and photography. The cohort of writers and artists leading this movement included Sarah Orne Jewett, Alice Morse Earle, and C. Alice Baker, and their project was taken up by women of a younger generation, such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins, who extended regionalism through the modernist moment. The study draws on amongst others on fiction, material culture, and collecting guides.

- Description
- This history of what Laura Micheletti Puaca terms 'technocratic feminism' traces contemporary feminist interest in science to the World War II and early Cold War years. During a period when anxiety about America's supply of scientific personnel ran high and when open support for women's rights generated suspicion, feminist reformers routinely invoked national security rhetoric and scientific 'manpower' concerns in their efforts to advance women's education and employment. Despite the limitations of this strategy, it laid the groundwork for later feminist reforms in both science and society. The past and present manifestations of technocratic feminism also offer new evidence of what has become increasingly recognized as a 'long women's movement.'
