She drafted America's first serious workers' compensation law. She helped found the National Woman's Party and is credited as co-author of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). She helped found the Woman's Peace Party -- today, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) -- and the American Union Against Militarism. She co-published the Liberator magazine. And she engineered the founding the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Eastman worked side-by-side with national and international suffrage leaders, renowned progressive reformers and legislators, birth control advocates, civil rights champions, revolutionary writers and artists. She traveled with a transatlantic crowd of boundary-breakers and innovators. And in virtually every arena she entered, she was one of the most memorable women known to her allies and adversaries alike. Yet today, her legacy is oddly ambiguous. She is commemorated, paradoxically, as one of the most neglected feminist leaders in American history. This first full-length biography recovers the revealing story of a woman who attained rare political influence and left a thought-provoking legacy in ongoing struggles. The social justice issues she cared about -- gender equality and human rights, nationalism and globalization, political censorship and media control, worker benefits and family balance, and the monumental questions of war, sovereignty, force, and freedom -- remain some of the most consequential questions of our own time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Searching for Crystal Eastman -- Origins -- Discovering Crystal -- Embarking : the Pittsburgh survey, workers' compensation and the first blush of fame -- The federal case for woman suffrage -- Radical pacifist -- Agonizing dilemmas and the march toward war -- From protest to dissent : wartime activism and the founding of the ACLU -- Regrouping : The Liberator years -- Passages : feminism, journalism and the transatlantic twenties -- "Marriage under two roofs" : feminism and family life -- Coming home. 600 10 $a Eastman, Crystal, $d 1881-1928. 600 17 $a Eastman, Crystal, $d 1881-1928. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00283881 650 0 $a Feminists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Labor leaders $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Suffragists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pacifists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1865-1918. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1918-1932. 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Feminists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922831 650 7 $a Labor leaders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990029 650 7 $a Pacifists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050133 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Suffragists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137197 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1865-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013445.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303020710.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1541A14471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
