The paradigm of maternal citizenship has been variously understood by historians as
enabling and restrictive of women's action in the public sphere. This paper considers the use
to which the maternal paradigm was put by the founders of the Australian Women's National
League, focussing in particular upon their campaign to link the Labor party with socialism
and “free love”. It observes the ease with which the ideal of the maternal citizen — central to
the liberal feminism of the day — could be turned to the conservative class interests of elite
women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Challenges. Psychology of Women Quarterly. 26 (1): 74.
This article examines perspectives on and intersections between two recurrent themes in the
history of American psychology: sex differences and theories of self. These themes and certain
connections between them are considered in three eras: early American psychology, feminist
psychology coincident with the second wave of feminism, and the recent postmodern turn in
psychology. A contextual analysis of parallels and contrasts among theories of sex differences
and of the self in these three eras highlights problems with modernist understandings,
especially with essentialist construals of gender and individualistic understandings of self.
The article presents relationally defined postmodern views of gender and self, and comments
on their promise for the present era of globalization and the consequent increasing attention
to interconnections among people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

American women, 1945–1965. Educational Review. 54 (2): 133.
Women in the post-World War II United States found themselves caught between competing
patriotic, economic, cultural, and psychological ideologies dictating their proper behavior.
These expectations sometimes recognized but never resolved the contradictions facing women
as postwar citizens. Each ideology addressed a particular concern in American culture. But
each also concealed within it ways in which postwar women were already challenging
behavioral norms. This paper explores these four sets of expectations, suggesting that the
confusion surrounding them led to difficulties in planning an appropriate type of higher
education for postwar female citizens. It also suggests that the differences between
expectations and behavior provoked tensions around the education of American women that
lasted until the resurgent women's movement of the late-1960s. [ABSTRACT FROM

Evans, S. M. 2003. Tidal wave : how women changed America at century's end. New York: Free Press.
"Forty years ago few women worked, married women could not borrow money in their own
names, schools imposed strict quotas on female applicants, and sexual harassment did not
exist as a legal concept. Yet despite the enormous changes for women in America since 1960,
and despite a blizzard of books that continue to argue about women's "proper place," there
has not been a serious, definitive history of what happened - until now." "In Tidal Wave Sara
M. Evans draws on an extraordinary range of interviews, archives, and published sources to
tell the incredible story of the past forty years in women's history."
"Encompassing both the so-called Second Wave of feminism's initial explosion in the l960s
and 1970s, and the Third Wave of the 1980s and l990s, she challenges traditional
interpretations at every step. She shows that the Second Wave was beset by fragmentation
and infighting from the beginning; its slogan, "the personal is political," was both a rallying
cry and the seed of its self-destruction. Yet the Third Wave has been surprisingly strong, and
almost all women today might be thought of as feminists - in practice if not in name." "From
national events, and from leaders of institutions such as NOW and Emily's List to little-known
local stories of women who simply wanted more out of their lives only to discover that they
were creating a movement, Tidal Wave paints a vast canvas of a society in upheaval - from
politics to economics to popular culture to marriage and the family."
"Today, Evans argues, the women's movement is as alive and vital as ever, precisely because it
has enjoyed such stunning success. Though not all women are comfortable with the term
"feminist," the vast majority hold jobs and enjoy previously unimaginable personal freedoms.
Never before in American or world history have women experienced full and equal
citizenship and opportunity. At last, the extraordinary story can be told."--BOOK JACKET.

Liberal/Radical Divide. NWSA Journal. 15 (1): 94.
This article presents a history of the Memphis chapter of the National Organization for
Women (NOW) that challenges traditional analyses of second-wave feminist activism as
either liberal or radical. Through examples of feminist activism on behalf of the Equal Rights
Amendment, rape and wife-abuse awareness and prevention, and pornography, the author
illustrates how one chapter of NOW, which is typically identified as a liberal organization,
was simultaneously liberal and radical. In addition, the author calls for more attention to
location in order to understand second-wave feminists' tactics, styles, and structures as well as
to make more prominent the nuances and complexities of a movement often obscured by the
liberal/radical divide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Horowitz, D. 1998. Betty Friedan and the making of The feminine mystique : the American left, the cold war,
and modern feminism. Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press.
Drawing on an impressive body of new research - including Friedan's own papers - Horowitz
traces the development of Friedan's feminist outlook from her childhood in Peoria, Illinois,
through her wartime years at Smith College and Berkeley, to her decade-long career as a
writer for two of the period's most radical labor journals, the Federated Press and the United
Electrical Workers' UE News. He further shows that even after she married and began to raise
a family, Friedan continued during the 1950s to write and work on behalf of a wide range of
progressive social causes. By resituating Friedan within a broader cultural context, and by
offering a fresh reading of The Feminine Mystique against that background, Horowitz not
only overturns conventional ideas about "second-wave" feminism but also reveals long
submerged links to its past.

Steven F. Lawson, Professor of History at Rutgers University, a series of essays that span

Debating the Civil Rights Movement: 1945-1968, Lawson is certainly well qualified to write on
this topic. Most overlooked until recently, Lawson pushes for further insight into the impact
of women as part of both the foundation and the leadership of the civil rights movement. Such
a study need not be limited to well-known women activitists. And it certainly should not
overshadow the ways in which activism converged with second-wave feminism. The final
section in particular makes it abundantly clear that much is left to do in the continuous
struggle to understand the fight for African American and indeed American civil rights.

This article presents information about the book "The Other Women's Movement: Workplace
Justice and Social Rights in Modern America," by Dorothy Sue Cobble. In this book, Cobble
chronicles the oft-forgotten history and influence of labor feminists. These female labor
pioneers were feminists, Cobble explains, because they sought to eradicate sex-based
disadvantages. But, they are more appropriately referred to as labor feminists because they
advocated on behalf of working-class women and viewed the labor movement as the primary
means through which the lives of the majority of women, working-class women, could be
improved. Cobble begins by providing the post-war historical context from which labor
feminism sprung and the corresponding evolution in women's attitudes toward their work
outside the home. Cobble deftly articulates the ongoing tension between labor feminists and
equal rights feminists throughout several chapters. Cobble describes other clashes between
labor feminists and equal rights feminists, including their contrasting approaches to the repeal
of statutes considered to discriminate against women.

Journal of Women's Studies. 9 (3): 311.
There is a diversity of views among feminists who have been debating whether or not a
women's movement exists in Britain today. In part this is due to the lack of a clear working
definition of social movement. This article uses social movement theory to discuss the
ambiguous signs that are taken to indicate either the movement's continuing existence or its
disappearance: the growth of mainstream political organizations; a focus on 'women' in
cultural production; the 'micro-politics' of everyday life (often enacted in the terms of 'I'm not
a feminist but...'). The article looks at the history of second-wave feminism in England using
the two main schools of social movement theory: the 'contentious politics' model focusing on
organizations and formal political structures; and the 'submerged networks' theory that takes
solidarity, conflict and challenging dominant cultural codes to be central to social movements.
[ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Negrin, L. The Self as Image: A Critical Appraisal of Postmodern Theories of Fashion. Theory, Culture
& Society. 16 (3): 99.
Until recently, most feminist critiques of women's fashion have been underpinned by a
functionalist paradigm in which fashion has been criticized for failing to obey the principle of
practical utility. Thus for instance, the suffragist movement in the middle of the 19th century
criticized female dress in so far as it hindered the physical mobility of women and was
detrimental to their health. Theorists in the early 20th century also criticized the highly ornate
13
and impractical dress of women as an unnecessary and wasteful indulgence, symptomatic of
the economic dependence of women on men. Somewhat later, in the 1940's, theorists
developed these arguments further and these formed the basis for criticisms of female fashion
in the 1970's and 1980's by feminist theorists. In opposition to such forms of apparel, critics
advocated more functional modes of dress which eschewed adornment designed to enhance
the sexual allure of the wearer. They argued that women should adopt a more natural form of
dress which revealed the body for what it was rather than seeking to transform it by artificial
means in conformity with some externally imposed ideal of beauty.

Women's History Review. 13 (1): 69.
This article discusses Lady Jersey's brief sojourn in New South Wales in 1891-92, as the wife of
the colonial governor. In the context of colonial anxieties and hopes about the contemporary
women's movement, Lady Jersey's aristocratic confidence and imperial authority gave her the
appearance of an 'Advanced Woman'. A published writer and confident public speaker before
she arrived in the colony, Lady Jersey took a keen interest in local political affairs, and her
demeanour and activity were swiftly satirised in the radical nationalist and frequently
misogynist Bulletin. Local feminist groups, perhaps craving some of the legitimate public
authority she so readily exercised, sought her patronage and support but were generally
doomed to disappointment. The article suggests that Lady Jersey, despite her own
conservatism, offered an ambiguous role model for those seeking positive ways in which to
imagine female power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cultural studies, as a cultural and political re-articulation of common sense, knowledge and
community practices, aims at opening up new cultural space for criticisms, reflections and
action. Originating from the women's movement and later flourishing in the academy as well,
feminism espouses similar aims to cultural studies. Both cultural studies and feminist/gender
studies have a strong sense of intervening into everyday life politics. This paper is an attempt
to discuss how feminism and cultural studies interface with each other, largely based on
examples of gender-related everyday life politics taken from the feminist movement in Hong
Kong. It will examine issues concerning the conflict of consumption and female subjectivities,
the reconceptualization of home and housewives, and the representation of everyday life for
women and history writing. It is argued that by blurring, negotiating or deconstructing the
boundary or division between positions, identities and domains—such as subject and object,
housewives and workers, private and public, personal and political, consumption and
production—the re-articulation of knowledge about 'victim', 'exploitation', 'home' and
'history' in the feminist movement will not only provide the movement with new impetus and
insight to reconsider its strategies in fighting for more cultural, social and economic space for
women and other marginal groups at large in Hong Kong, but will also 'metabolize' the newly
developed discipline of cultural studies in Hong Kong by providing a platform to strengthen
the dynamic arm of cultural studies education and research. Based on her feminist and
teaching experiences in Hong Kong, the author has highlighted activism and pedagogy as the
two important dimensions of feminism and cultural studies in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM

Weedon, C. 1999. Feminism, theory, and the politics of difference. Malden, Mass.: Blackwell Publishers.
'Difference' is a key term in contemporary feminism. Since the 1700s women have been
concerned with how they are seen as different from men and the social consequences of such
assumed and actual differences. Where as early second-wave feminism stressed women's
shared oppression and sisterhood, more recent feminism has stressed difference - of class,
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and age. Feminism, Theory and the Politics of Difference
looks at the question of difference across the full spectrum of feminist theory from liberal,
radical, lesbian and socialist to Black and postcolonial feminisms. It relates feminist
approaches to difference and diversity to the tendency within postmodernism to celebrate
them, often without due attention to power.
