  • Gerda Lerner (1920-2013): Féministe, pionnière de l’histoire des femmes

    Leonard Gordon, Linda Gordon et al.ARTICLEClio2013

    L’historienne Gerda Lerner était remarquable par son éloquence, sa perspicacité et son courage. Toujours prête à défendre l’importance de l’histoire dans sa quête de justice sociale, elle a consacré sa vie à démontrer que les femmes ont une histoire et que le fait de s’en rendre compte avait un impact sur la conscience collective. « Écrire l’histoire en pensant aux femmes », écrivait-elle dans l’un des essais qui composent le recueil intitulé Why…

  • Why Diamonds Really are a Girl's Best Friend: Another American Narrative

    Open AccessLinda K KerberARTICLEDaedalus2012References: 1

    The old law of domestic relations and the system known as coverture have shaped marriage practices in the United States and have limited women's membership in the constitutional community. This system of law predates the Revolution, but it lingers in U.S. legal tradition even today. After describing coverture and the old law of domestic relations, this essay considers how the received narrative of women's place in U.S. history often obscures the …

  • L'Histoire des femmes aux États-Unis: Une histoire des droits humains

    Linda K KerberARTICLETravail genre et sociétés2012References: 5

    La quasi-totalité des questions traitées par des féministes depuis deux cents ans sont des questions de droits humains. La tradition juridique aux États-Unis est saturée par le concept de la « coverture », à savoir, des lois qui prétendent protéger les intérêts des femmes mais qui, en réalité, limitent l'autonomie des femmes ainsi que leur participation à la communauté politique. L'autorité des conjoints comprend des pouvoirs aussi extensifs qu'a…

  • Toward a History of Statelessness in America

    Open AccessLinda K KerberARTICLEAmerican Quarterly2005Cited by: 10References: 5

    Browsing through an electronic card catalog not long ago, I found a new edition of Edward Everett Hale's A Man Without a Country.1 First published during the Civil War, the novella is a frightening cautionary tale. The fiction begins in 1805, when a young naval officer is seduced (Hale's word, not mine) by Aaron Burr, and drawn into the former vice president's conspiracy to detach the Southwest and reconfigure the United States. The voice of the …

  • The Meanings of Citizenship

    Linda K KerberARTICLEJournal of American History1997Cited by: 16

    It is no accident that this annual meeting is devoted to a grand advanced course in citizenship. As the twentieth century draws to a close, events conspire to demand that we be attentive to the meanings of citizenship. (So many historians responded so creatively to our invitation to explore those meanings that sessions on citizenship absorbed nearly two-thirds of the program.) The last great periods of attentiveness to citizenship in the United S…

    it always been given by the president. Even on those occasions when it is offered by presidents, the American Studies Association has not been content to leave them to their own devices. Presidents (I can reveal to you) get very strict instructions. We are reminded, for example, that most presidential addresses in most organizations are deadly dull. We are told that dullness often results from letting presidents speak about anything that pleases …

  • The Republican Ideology of the Revolutionary Generation

    Open AccessLinda K KerberARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1985Cited by: 7

    NOT SO LONG AGO, AS WE RECKON ACADEMIC STYLES, AMERICAN HISTORIANS used the ungainly term period to describe the years between the adoption of the Constitution and the inauguration of Andrew Jackson. The phrase was so vague as to be of little use except to underline a general sense that nationalism was central to American life. A new label has been devised in the last decade; the modest phrase is not much more descriptive, but it is richer in nua…
