U.S. Women's History
In the 1970s, feminist slogans proclaimed “Sisterhood is powerful,” and women’s historians searched through the historical archives to recover stories of solidarity and sisterhood. However, as feminist scholars have started taking a more intersectional approach—acknowledging that no woman is simply defined by her gender and that affiliations like race, class, and sexual identity are often equally powerful—women’s historians have begun to offer more varied and nuanced narratives. The ten original essays in U.S. Women's History represent a cross-section of current research in the field. Including work from both emerging and established scholars, this collection employs innovative a...
Radical Sisters
Radical Sisters offers a fresh exploration of the ways that 1960s political movements shaped local, grassroots feminism in Washington, D.C. Rejecting notions of a universal sisterhood, Anne M. Valk argues that activists periodically worked to bridge differences for the sake of alleviating women's plight, even while maintaining distinct political bases. While most historiography on the subject tends to portray the feminist movement as deeply divided over issues of race, Valk presents a more nuanced account, showing 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.
Radical Sisters: Second Wave Feminism and Black Liberation in Washington, DC
'Radical sisters' gaat over de politieke vrouwenbewegingen van de jaren '60 en '70, in volle tweede feministische golf. De tweespalt tussen organisaties van blanke feministen enerzijds bestond wel degelijk, maar toch vond er ook heel wat kruisbestuiving plaats. Samenwerkingsverbanden zorgden ervoor dat nieuwe methoden, acties en technieken uitgewisseld werden, zodat men vandaag toch - zij het enigszins aarzelend - van een "sisterhood" kan spreken. Zeven hoofdstukken belichten verschillende vrouwenorganisaties en op welke vlakken zij actief waren en hoe zijn - ondanks uiteenlopende politieke standpunten - toch samen mobiliseerden. Verschillen in ideologische en stratetische benaderingen konden dan toch af en toe opzij gezet worden om gezamenlijke acties mogelijk te maken.
No Permanent Waves
No Permanent Waves boldly enters the ongoing debates over the utility of the "wave" metaphor for capturing the complex history of women's rights by offering fresh perspectives on the diverse movements that comprise U.S. feminism, past and present. Seventeen essays--both original and reprinted--address continuities, conflicts, and transformations among women's movements in the United States from the early nineteenth century through today. A respected group of contributors from diverse generations and backgrounds argue for new chronologies, more inclusive conceptualizations of feminist agendas and participants, and fuller engagements with contestations around particular issues and practices. Race, class, and sexuality are explored within histories of women's rights and feminism as well as the cultural and intellectual currents and social and political priorities that marked movements for women's advancement and liberation. These essays question whether the concept of waves surging and receding can fully capture the complexities of U.S. feminisms and suggest models for reimagining these histories from radio waves to hip-hop.
Women's Activist Organizing in US History
Women in the United States organized around their own sense of a distinct set of needs, skills, and concerns. And just as significant as women's acting on their own behalf was the fact that race, class, sexuality, and ethnicity shaped their strategies and methods. This authoritative anthology presents some of the powerful work and ideas about activism published in the acclaimed series Women, Gender, and Sexuality in American History. Assembled to commemorate the series' thirty-fifth anniversary, the collection looks at two hundred years of labor, activist, legal, political, and community organizing by women against racism, misogyny, white supremacy, and inequality. The authors confront how t...
