- Description
- Onderzoek naar de interactie tussen verschillende groepen vrouwen, autochtone witte vrouwen, afro-amerikaanse vrouwen en Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigrantenvrouwen in de sigarenstad Tampa, Florida, VS. Rond de eeuwwisseling in 1900 speelden zich verschillende historische gebeurtenissen af. De stad was onderwerp van nieuw opgelegde vormen van wettelijke segregatie en zij diende als centrum voor bannelingen ten gevolge van de Cubaanse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog en als opstapplaats voor VS legertroepen naar Cuba in 1898. De stad was overslagplaats voor duizenden Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigranten op zoek naar werk in de florerende sigarenindustrie en trok talloze onderwegzijnde radikalen aan die stonden te popelen om lokale revolutionaire clubs, wederzijdse hulporganisaties en vakbonden op te zetten. Aandacht voor de rol van vrouwen in het activisme, waar binnen grote aantallen latina's zich manifesteerden in de openbare sfeer.

- Description
- During World War II, as women stepped in to fill jobs vacated by men in the armed services, the federal government established public child care centers in local communities for the first time. When the government announced plans to terminate its child care services at the end of the war, women in California protested and lobbied to keep their centers open, even as these services rapidly vanished in other states. Analyzing the informal networks of cross-class and cross-race reformers, policymakers, and educators, this book traces the changing alliances among these groups. During the early stages of the childcare movement feminists, communists, and labor activists banded together, only to have these alliances dissolve by the 1950s as the movement welcomed new leadership composed of working-class mothers and early childhood educators. In the 1960s, when federal policymakers earmarked child care funds for children of women on welfare and children described as culturally deprived, it expanded child care services available to these groups but eventually eliminated public child care for the working poor.

- Description
- The author documents six decades [1910-1970] of politically active black women in New York City who waged struggles for justice, rights, and equality not through grassroots activism but through formal politics. In tracing the paths of black women activists from women's clubs and civic organizations to national politics - including appointments to presidential commissions, congressional offices, and even a presidential candidacy - she also articulates the vision of politics the women developed and its influence on the Democratic party and its policies. Examining how race, gender, and the structure of the state itself shape outcomes, she exposes the layers of power and discrimination at work in all sectors of U.S. society.

- Description
- This book explores the ways that 1960s political movements shaped local, grassroots feminism in Washington, D.C. Rejecting notions of a universal sisterhood, Valk argues that activists periodically worked to bridge differences for the sake of improving women's plight, even while maintaining distinct political bases. Washington, D.C. is a critical site for studying the dynamics of the feminist movement, not only for its strategic location vis-a-vis the federal government but because in 1970 over seventy percent of the city's population was African American. Valk shows feminists of various backgrounds both coming together to promote a notion of 'sisterhood' and being deeply divided along the lines of class, race, and sexuality. In exploring women's unity (or lack thereof) in the liberation movement, Valk shows how African American women activists, who were primarily focused on racial and economic justice, influenced and provided important opposition to the organizational activities of white women.

- Description
- Exploration of the history of the suffrage movement in New York State by delving into the stories of women who opposed the expansion of voting rights to women. The author finds that conservative women who fought against suffrage encouraged women to retain their distinctive feminine identities as protectors of their homes and families, a role they felt was threatened by the imposition of masculine political responsibilities. She details the victories and defeats on both sides of the movement from its start in the 1890s to its end in the 1930s.
