Coming of Age with Anne Moody
This essay offers a close reading of Anne Moody's widely read but under-theorized memoir of the civil rights movement, Coming of Age in Mississippi (1968). This essay's focus mirrors a main focus in Moody's narrative: her relationship with her mother. Much of the body of literary criticism, as well as historical writings dealing with African American mother-daughter conflict, centers on the observation that Black mothers have often found themselv…
Practicing Citizenship: Women's Rhetoric at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair
The approximately one thousand public speeches given by women at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition offer a rich archive and abundant opportunity for the rhetoric scholar Kristy Maddux to evaluate the consequential nature of women's public speech in the 1890s relative to their contemporary disfranchisement. The event deserves such close examination; as she points out, no previous exposition or other mass event of the nineteenth century saw wom…
Jocelyn Olcott. International Women’s Year: The Greatest Consciousness-Raising Event in History
With International Women’s Year: The Greatest Consciousness-Raising Event in History, Jocelyn Olcott has made a terrific contribution to women’s history and the history of transnational feminism, centered as it is on the declaration of 1975 as International Women’s Year (IWY) by the United Nations and its sponsoring of conferences, the largest and most consequential of which was held in Mexico City. International Women’s Year is based on a mounta…
After Suffrage Comes Equal Rights?
A politicized culture and century-long debate over women’s nature and role may turn out to be the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)’s principal contribution to American feminism. Despite perceptions that an equal rights amendment was the next logical step following the Nineteenth Amendment, arguments broke out among feminist activists over whether an equal rights amendment would menace important legal victories, such as protective legislation for wome…

Once Again in Chicago: Revisioning women as workers at the Chicago Woman's World's Fairs of 1925-1928
Women’s systematic exclusion from most world’s fair administrations after an illustrious showing in Chicago in 1893 is sometimes explained by a waning interest among women in female‐centered activism, particularly in the period following the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. The entirely women‐run world’s fairs, in miniature, staged annually in Chicago in the 1920s belie this interpretation and evince women’s determination to utilize the …

Teaching the Day After: An Assessment of American University Pedagogy in the Wake of September 11, 2001
This article presents data drawn from a confidential, voluntary survey conducted the week after September 11, 2001, at a large, state-funded Midwestern university, asking university faculty to describe the ways they engaged with students in their classrooms in the wake of the events. Acknowledging the charges against academics by some who felt faculty had abused their responsibilities as teachers and public intellectuals, we recast the debate ove…
