Reclaiming social democracy as one of the central threads of American feminism, Dorothy Sue Cobble offers a bold rewriting of twentieth-century feminist history and documents how forces, peoples, and ideas worldwide shaped American politics. Cobble follows egalitarian women's activism from the explosion of democracy movements before World War I to the establishment of the New Deal, through the upheavals in rights and social citizenship at midcentury, to the reassertion of conservatism and the revival of female-led movements today. Cobble brings to life the women who crossed borders of class, race, and nation to build grassroots campaigns, found international institutions, and enact policies dedicated to raising standards of life for everyone. Readers encounter famous figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Frances Perkins, and Mary McLeod Bethune, together with less well-known leaders, such as Rose Schneiderman, Maida Springer Kemp, and Esther Peterson. Multiple generations partnered to expand social and economic rights, and despite setbacks, the fight for the many persists, as twenty-first-century activists urgently demand a more caring, inclusive world. Putting women at the center of US political history, For the Many reveals the powerful currents of democratic equality that spurred American feminists to seek a better life for all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z United States $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women social reformers $z United States $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Equality $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Equality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Feminists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922831 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 650 7 $a Women social reformers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178540 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cobble, Dorothy Sue, $t For the many $d Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2021. $z 9780691220598 $w (DLC) 2020047373 830 0 $a America in the world. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11DC63FE177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
