Afterword
This essay provides a synthetic overview of the preceding articles in this special issue on Feminist Histories, situating them within the historical literature that helped shape the field of U.S. women’s history. Drawing out recurrent ideas across topics, the afterword identifies how the authors both build upon and innovatively expand the overlapping concepts of “the personal is political” and intersectional identities. They raise new questions a…
“Crimes which startle and horrify”
This chapter attempts to convert the data into a narrative account that complicates the dominant interpretation of the racialization of rape in the late nineteenth century. The late nineteenth-century white press helped to cement an association between rape and race but with additional attention to the lynchings of African American men. A National Police Gazette illustration from 1889 highlighted the theme of rape as an invasion of the sanctity o…
Not a Word Was Said Ever Again”
Oral history collections provide rich evidence for understanding sexual harassment in the era before that term applied to unwanted sexual advances in schools and workplaces. Close reading of both speech and silence about sexual harassment in oral histories also illuminates women’s historical reluctance to recall or make public their experiences of sexual violence. Drawing on a large dataset of digitized oral history collections, this essay maps w…

Coming of age at Barnard, 1968
As part of the 40th anniversary commemorations of the 1968 student rebellion at Columbia University, Barnard College invited me to present the annual Virginia Gildersleeve Lecture on the subject “How did 1968 affect your life?” During that tumultuous year I was an undergraduate at Barnard, the women's college affiliated with Columbia and located just across Broadway on the Morningside Heights campus in New York City. Although I was only marginall…
Feminism, sexuality, and politics

Over the past thirty years, she has produced a body of work in which scholarship and politics have never been mutually exclusive. This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between ac…

"The Burning of Letters Continues"
To explore how historians grapple with the sexual identity of their subjects, this article reflects on the research process for a biography of prison reformer Miriam Van Waters. It reviews three kinds of evidence that combine to shape an interpretation of Van Waters' sexuality: first, authoritative discourses she encountered and may have internalized or modified; second, personal sources such as letters and diaries that provide clues to her subje…

Intimate Matters
Problems encountered in writing the history of sexuality
As historians have begun to write about sexuality, they have encountered a wide variety of rich sources. These sources pose for the historian an array of interpretive problems involving the definition of subject matter, the bias embedded in the records, and the choice of theoretical framework. The present authors illustrate these issues by examining briefly two important historical subjects: changing definitions of sexual identity in the nineteen…

Separatism as Strategy
If innate male aggression and dominance are at the root of female oppression, then the feminist program would logically require either the extermination of the offending sex, or else a eugenics project to modify its character. If sexism is a by-product of capitalism's relentless appetite for profit, then sexism would wither away in the advent of a successful socialist revolution. If the world historical defeat of women occurred at the hands of an…

The Prison Lesbian
Sexuality in Nineteenth-Century America
In the past decade, as historians have explored the private side of history, the subject of sexuality has attracted increasing scholarly attention. Well before Michel Foucault argued that the nineteenth century had witnessed an expansion of discourse that created new categories of sexualities, social historians were reinterpreting not only the discourse on sexuality in nineteenth-century America, but changing patterns of behavior as well. During …
The New Woman
IN his suggestive article, Happened to the Progressive Movement in the 1920's, Arthur S. Link analyzed the legacy of the pre-World War I coalition of businessmen, farm groups, labor unions, and advocates of social justice.' However, he neglected to mention the fate of feminists, either those women active in the suffrage movement or those involved in broader areas of social reform. Despite Link's inattention to women reformers, the question he pos…
