Seeing with Their Hearts
K urt C. S chlichting . Waterfront Manhattan
Waterfront cities have always provided opportunity for economic development. But cities encounter legal and social challenges to constructing the waterfront and its harbors, piers, warehouses, and transportation infrastructure. There are questions about who owns the waterfront, the water, and the land underneath it—and who pays for its development. In the United States, new cities developing their waterfronts had to consider whether the waterfron…
Until Choice Do Us Part
The subtitle of this book is a bit misleading. It is not a broad exploration of marriage reform. Rather, it analyzes the writing and lives of several individuals and couples whom Clare Virginia Eby calls “the primary intellectual architects of what I call the progressive marital ideal” (p. xviii). She argues that we must examine “the contested conversation about marriage” in which these figures engaged, “in order to understand the Progressive Era…

Private needs, public space
As part of the reconstruction of their built environments at the beginning of the twentieth century, London, Dublin, Toronto and Chicago confronted the question of whether to provide public toilets. In comparing the arguments and decisions over this question, this article demonstrates how the male leadership of each city sought to preserve the centuries-old patriarchal tradition of separate public and private spheres and limit women's access to p…
The Rights of the Defenseless
Susan J. Pearson examines the founding of humane societies to protect animals and children. She explains such groups as the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and its analogous child-centered group Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SPCC) as the middle way between the charitable work of pre–Civil War societies and the growth of state protective laws. For Pearson, these humane societies expose the transitions occur…
Class and Gender Politics in Progressive-Era Seattle
Citizen
It must be disappointing for an author to have a major scholarly work preceded by the publication of another book on almost the same subject. That is the situation of Louise W. Knight and Citizen, a volume examining the life and intellectual growth of Jane Addams from her birth to 1899. Victoria Bissell Brown's 2004 book, The Education of Jane Addams, covers virtually the same years (to 1895) and asks many of the same questions about how Addams d…

Trionfo e declino dei partiti politici negli Stati Uniti, 1860-1930
This assessment of the rise and decline of mass political parties in the United States is a compilation of articles by Arnaldo Testi published previously in both Italian and English. Here, Testi revisits his previous work to three ends: to sustain that mass political parties were and still are necessary to promote democratic political participation for all citizens; to argue that the decline of such in the United States earlier in the twentieth c…

Can Public Power be Kept Private
Chicago has been something of an anomaly in historical studies. Urban historians have written extensively on the politics, society, and economies of such major cities as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. They have chronicled the history of small cities whose past is less complicated, more amenable to the case study approach favored by many researchers. But, the nation's second-now third-largest city for decades attracted, more of…

Charter Reform in Chicago
A fresh look at the question of why charter reform failed in Chicago when it succeeded in other large cities across the country.Political scientists have tried to understand the failure of Chicago s charter reform movement through simplistic paradigms developed in studies of other cities. Flanagan, however, argues that Chicago, like all cities, has its own political culture, the result of forces and circumstances unique to the area.Many factors j…
