Out of the closet? Reconstructing the personal life of pioneering sex researcher Katharine Bement Davis
Katharine B. Davis was an important progressive-era figure, a pioneering professional, an innovative penologist, and an iconoclastic sexologist. Although scholars have long been aware of Davis's tolerant attitude toward same-sex relationships at the New York State Female Reformatory at Bedford Hills, where she was Superintendent from 1901 to 1913, and her open discussion of same-sex attraction in her study of "normal" women's sexuality, published…

Sophonisba Breckinridge: Championing Women's Activism in Modern America
Sophonisba Breckinridge (1866-1948) was involved in virtually every reform--including legal aid for immigrants, civil rights for blacks, labor legislation for workers, juvenile courts for youth, and citizenship rights for women--of both the Progressive and New Deal eras. She also played an important role in the development of the welfare state. As a social scientist, a social worker, and a public policy consultant, she played a key role in the de…

Relationship and Leadership: Sophonisba Breckinridge and Women in Social Work
This article explores the career of Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge (1866–1948), a pioneering social work educator and a key figure in the professionalization of social work, to suggest how contemporary female social workers may reclaim their historic leadership role in the profession. In particular, it contends that women’s relationships were the key to female leadership in the formative decades of the social work profession. It thus suggests th…
The Big House after Slavery: Virginia Plantation Families and Their Postbellum Domestic Experiment
Since the publication of Anne Firor Scott's The Southern Lady in 1970, historians of the South have debated the extent to which the Civil War changed elite white women's role. Amy Feely Morsman approaches this issue from a new angle by examining how women and men together slowly, reluctantly, and often painfully negotiated an incomplete, difficult, and largely unwanted new set of gender relations in response to the economic challenges facing post…
Masterful Women: Slaveholding Widows from the American Revolution through the Civil War
Many early-nineteenth-century slaveholders considered themselves masters not only over slaves, but also over the institutions of marriage and family. According to many historians, the privilege of mastery was reserved for white males. But as many as one in ten slaveholders - sometimes more - was a widow, and as Kirsten E. Wood demonstrates, between the American Revolution and the Civil War, slaveholding widows developed their own version of maste…
All Our Relations: Blood Ties and Emotional Bonds among the Early South Carolina Gentry
All Our Relations makes important contributions to southern history, the history of the family, and gender studies. In this brief but compelling work, Lorri Glover persuasively argues that scholars of the family and of gender roles need to take a closer look at what she calls the “hidden family” of siblings and kin in eighteenth-century society. Taking as her focus the interconnected elite families of colonial and revolutionary South Carolina, Gl…

Sex and Citizenship in Antebellum America
With this book, Nancy Isenberg illuminates the origins of the women's rights movement. Rather than herald the singular achievements of the 1848 Seneca Falls convention, she examines the confluence of events and ideas--before and after 1848--that, in her view, marked the real birth of feminism. Drawing on a wide range of sources, she demonstrates that women's rights activists of the antebellum era crafted a coherent feminist critique of church, st…

Although divided by race, black and white women were joined by common female experiences and expectations of behavior. Because work and gender affected them as much as race, mistres…

While boys in previous generations assumed they would simply follow in their fathers' footsteps, the Jacksonian era offered new opportunities—for failure as well as success. Forced to find their own—not their fathers'—route to self sufficiency, middle-class whit…
