- Description
- In this book Traister makes sense of a moment in American history that changed the country : the presidential election of 2008. Hillary Clinton’s improbable rise, her fall and her insistence on pushing forward straight through to her remarkable phoenix flight from the race: Sarah Palin’s attempt not only to fill the void left by Clinton, but to alter the very definition of feminism and claim some version of it for conservatives: liberal rapture over Barack Obama and the historic election of the first African-American president: the media microscope trained on Michelle Obama, harsher even than the one Hillary had endured fifteen years earlier. Meanwhile, media women like Katie Couric and Rachel Maddow altered the course of the election. What did all this mean to the millions of people who were glued to their TV sets, and for the country, its history and its future? As Traister sees it, the 2008 election was good for women. The campaign for the presidency reopened some of the most fraught American conversations—about gender, race and generational difference, about sexism on the left and feminism on the right—difficult discussions that had been left unfinished but that are crucial to further perfecting our union. The election was also shaped the perspectives of American women and men from different generations and backgrounds, altering the way that all of us will approach questions of women and power far into the future. When Clinton cried, when Palin reached for her newborn at the end of a vice presidential debate, the whole country was watching women’s history—American history—being made.

- Description
- Betty Friedan once snapped at Phyllis Schlafly, 'I'd like to burn you at the stake.' And this biography of the doyenne of U.S. conservatism during the heated early 1970s makes it clear why: it's not just Schlafly's far-right stands on feminism and reproductive rights, but her formidable debating skills and political organizing experience. Critchlow draws widely on both unlimited access to his subject's private papers and a broad range of other social documents.

- Description
- By exploring the intersection of gender and politics in the antebellum North, Pierson examines how antislavery political parties capitalized on the emerging family practices and ideologies that accompanied the market revolution. From the birth of the Liberty Party in 1840 through the election of Republican Lincoln in 1860, antislavery parties celebrated the social practices of modernizing northern families. By examining the writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Lydia Maria Child, and other antislavery women, this study rediscovers how crucial gender ideologies were to American politics on the eve of the Civil War.

- Description
- The book addresses both theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding women's participation in politics as candidates, party members, elected representatives, cabinet ministers and leaders. It focuses on the presence of women in formal political institutions across a broad range of countries to demonstrate that women are, at last, beginning to exert pressure on political affairs by behaving differently from men.

- 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 collection of essays examines the relationship between women's movements and states in West Europe and North America, as states have relocated their formal powers and policy-making responsibilities. Since the 1980s, North American and West European states have reduced the scope and volume of their national responsibilities, increasingly employing neoliberal free market rhetoric, and developed transnational economic and political authorities. Simultaneously, second-wave women's movements have been transformed. Movements that were revolutionary in rhetoric, autonomous from states, and largely informally organized in the 1970s are, by the 1990s, employing moderate neoliberal rhetoric, entering state institutions as active participants, and creating more formal organizations. Contributors examine how movements have influenced the reconfiguration of nation-states and how these changes have influenced the goals, mobilization, tactics, success, and rhetoric of women's movements in various West European and North American countries. This volume contributes theoretical insights and empirical evidence to the growing literature on states and movements.
