Cet article s’intéresse aux stratégies qu’elle déploya afin de faire entendre sa voix et normaliser sa présence en les re…
Abolitionism and the Antebellum U.S. Women’s Rights Movement: The (Missed) Connections of the First National Woman’s Rights Convention (1850)

Alors que son organisation fut permise par la mobilisation de compétences et de ressources issues de l’abolitionnisme, elle est la preuve que les mil…

For Naomi Wulf Encounters are both the object and form of this special issue of The European Journal of American Studies. Edited by a historian and a literary scholar of the United States trained in France, this issue is designed as a place of encounter and simultaneously takes “encounter” as an analytical object in itself, specifically the articulation or dis-articulation between the disciplines of literature and history, the intersection betwee…

Susan B. Anthony and the Struggle for Equal Rights

Anthony and the Struggle for Equal Rights is an edited collection of essays that grew out of a conference organized at the University of Rochester in 2006, on the one hundredth anniversary of Susan B.

Innovation as moral victory: Henry Blackwell and sugar
L’article suivant est une étude des tentatives d’innovation faites par le réformiste américain Henry Blackwell dans le secteur sucrier. L’objectif affiché était d’essayer de concurrencer le sucre de cane issu du travail esclavagiste et de miner ainsi les fondements économiques de l’esclavage. L’innovation, vue comme processus, était également une façon pour Henry Blackwell de réconcilier ses deux aspirations : l’application de ses convictions réf…
