A Simple Justice
Melanie Beals Goan's study of Kentucky's woman suffrage history is a timely addition to the scholarship celebrating the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment. The state's distinctive status as an early adapter, in 1838, of suffrage for taxpaying women in school-related issues as well as its particular position as a border state with enslaved people that chose to remain within the Union during the Civil War, make for an important and complex case…
Why They Marched
This collection of elegantly written sketches narrating the struggle for women's suffrage is a gem. Appearing on the eve of the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment (which in 1920 granted U.S. citizens the right to vote irrespective of sex), Why They Marched provides exactly nineteen chapters between its prologue and epilogue. The book is divided into three roughly chronological sections: “Claiming Citizenship,” “The Personal Is Political,” and…

Beyond Best Practices
How do we teach American history? And what do our students learn? In this year's "Textbooks and Teaching" section, we present reports from the field, exploring what happens when historians self-consciously study their classroom practices. Inspired by Ernest L
"Will That Be on the Exam?" The Role of Testing in Teaching and Learning American History
Will that be on the exam?" The question is annoying, but it reflects an inescapable dimension of American education. Success or failure on tests affects the academic careers and life choices of students and, increasingly, the funding and operation of schools at the elementary, secondary, and collegiate levels. Federal and state laws mandate proficiency tests to measure whether taxpayers are getting their money's worth in the campaign to raise edu…

A Tale of Two Josephines
Using court records and newspaper accounts, this article analyses the ‘Blann‐Ammon’ controversy in the context of nineteenth‐century liberal feminism. Risking social ostracism and imprisonment, Josephine Ammon, a wealthy and well connected Cleveland matron, sought to defend the legal rights and autonomy of Josephine Blann, her neighbour of working‐class origins; but in her efforts to empower Blann, Ammon constructed perceptions of Blann, and of t…
Beyond Separate Spheres
The essays by Julie Roy Jeffrey and Laura McCall both point out how historians sometimes become imprisoned by the preconceptions, categories, and concepts that we bring to our texts-whether those are works of fiction or women's accomplishments in the world. We see or hear or read what we have been trained to recognize, applying predetermined categories perhaps beyond the point of sensible or reasonable interpretations. For these essays, sphere is…

The Trials of Anthony Burns
Moving the Mountain
Neither Ballots nor Bullets
This account of women's abolitionist activity during the Civil War offers new evidence of the extent of women's political activism and reveals the historical significance of this activism. It revises the traditional view of feminism as lying dormant during the war. The activism of such women as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, through the Woman's National Loyal League, brought women into a political sphere from which they had previous…

Gender, Ideology, and Class in the Early Republic
Gender, like class, is an analytic category that allows us to examine a key element in society, an element that both influences and is influenced by class. And, like class, gender is a relationship, in this instance constituted out of the interaction of men and women, constructing and signifying relations of sexuality and power. As a social construction, gender both creates and is created by ideology. Ideologies of gender are hardly universal; th…

Century of Struggle, Decades of Revision
1963, before the slightest ripple even hinted at the possibility for a 'second wave of feminism, Betty Friedan declared that American women lost themselves in the feminine mystique at least in part because of their ignorance of their past. To remedy this defect, she recommended Eleanor Flexnor's Century of Struggle, calling the 'definitive history of the woman's rights movement in the United States. In my opinion, she continued, it should be requ…
