The Story of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs
Excerpt from The Story of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs: 1900 1922 In the past twenty-two years much has been accomplished by the Colored women of Illinois. Those who are closely connected with or deeply interested in the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, know of the struggle that has been made and the success that has been attained. Time, in its progress has, however, taken from the work many of the pioneers and has substituted those of a younger generation, who like the general public, of times do not appreciate the fullness of organized effort. Realizing this and the fact that records of the Federation were frequently being lost, it was decided at the meetin...

Seeing with Their Hearts
At the turn of the last century, as industrialists and workers made Chicago the hardworking City of Big Shoulders celebrated by Carl Sandburg, Chicago women articulated an alternative City of Homes in which the welfare of residents would be the municipal government's principal purpose. Seeing With Their Hearts traces the formation of this vision from the relief efforts following the Chicago fire of 1871 through the many political battles of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. In the process, it presses a new understanding of the roles of women in public life and writes a new history of urban America. Heeding the call of activist Louise de Koven Bowen to become third-class passengers on the t...

Uncle Sam Wants You
Based on a rich array of sources that capture the voices of both political leaders and ordinary Americans, Uncle Sam Wants You offers a vivid and provocative new interpretation of American political history, revealing how the tensions of mass mobilization during World War I led to a significant increase in power for the federal government. Christopher Capozzola shows how, when the war began, Americans at first mobilized society by stressing duty, obligation, and responsibility over rights and freedoms. But the heated temper of war quickly unleashed coercion on an unprecedented scale, making wartime America the scene of some of the nation's most serious political violence, including notorious episodes of outright mob violence. To solve this problem, Americans turned over increasing amounts of power to the federal government. In the end, whether they were some of the four million men drafted under the Selective Service Act or the tens of millions of home-front volunteers, Americans of the World War I era created a new American state, and new ways of being American citizens.
