- Description
- Hastie rethinks female authorship within film history by expanding the historical archive to include dollhouses, scrapbooks, memoirs, cookbooks and ephemera. Focusing on women who worked during the silent-film era, she describes how female stars, directors, and others appropriated personal or 'domestic' cultural forms to publicize their own achievements and to reflect on specific films and the broader film industry. Hastie pays particular attention to the actresses Colleen Moore (1900-1988) and Louise Brooks (1906-1985) and Hollywood’s first female director, Alice Guy-Blaché (1873-1968).

- Description
- Many of the founders and leaders (including both well-known and grassroots organizers) of the second wave women's movement are collected in this publication. It tells the stories of more than two thousand individual women and a few men who together reignited the women’s movement and made permanent changes to entrenched customs and laws. The biographical entries on these pioneering feminists represent their many factions, all parts of the country, all races and ethnic groups, and all political ideologies. The author's foreword discusses the movement in relation to the earlier first wave and presents a brief overview of the second wave in the context of other contemporaneous social movements.

- Description
- This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. .Following an introduction that presents a map of the personal and intellectual trajectory of Freedman's work, the first section of essays, on the origins and strategies of women's activism in U.S. history, reiterates the importance of valuing women in a society that has long devalued their contributions. The second section, on the maintenance of sexual boundaries, explores the malleability of both sexual identities and sexual politics. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse

- Description
- Polly Adler's 'house' was a brothel, a major site of New York City underworld activity from the 1920s through the 1940s. Adler's notorious Lexington Avenue house of prostitution functioned as a sort of social club for New York's gangsters and a variety of other celebrities, including Robert Benchley and his friend Dorothy Parker. A self-consciously literary work, A House Is Not a Home provides an informal social history of immigrant mobility, prostitution, Jewish life in New York, police dishonesty, the 'white slavery' scare of the early twentieth century, and political corruption. Adler's story fills an important gap in the history of immigrant life, urban experience, and organized crime in New York City. While most other accounts of the New York underworld focus on the lives of men, from Herbert Asbury's Gangs of New York through more recent works on Jewish and Italian gangsters, this book brings women's lives and problems to the forefront

- Description
- Adelaide Hasse was one of the most prominent of the first generation American woman librarians. Best known for her work with government publications of the New York Public Library Archives, the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Hasse spoke and wrote about issues that are as relevant today as they were a century ago. How should librarians be recruited and educated? What is the nature of their professional expertise? How do libraries function as organizations? What services do they provide? How do they provide access to government information? What are the dynamics of a feminized profession? This biography brings to light Hasse's achievements and examines the impact of her work, her values, and her experience in a gendered system.
