    Open AccessSusan WareARTICLEThe American Historical Review2023

    The recent centennial of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment occasioned both public celebrations and scholarly interventions. Many historians welcomed the chance to engage a wider public audience interested in questions of gender, race, and citizenship in the midst of a highly contested election that made women’s voting timely and relevant. Of more lasting significance will be the new scholarship produced about the women’s suffrage movement. …

  • Pauli Murray: A Personal and Political Life

    Open AccessSusan WareARTICLEJournal of American History2022

    When trying to make sense of the twentieth century—civil rights, feminism, religion, literature, law, sexuality, and more—all roads lead to Pauli Murray. Her pathbreaking role in multiple movements for social change has made her an attractive subject for biographers and historians, most recently Rosalind Rosenberg, Patricia Bell-Scott, and Glenda Gilmore. Troy R. Saxby enters this historiographical terrain by staking out his own claim: to look at…

  • Rethinking 'First Wave' Feminisms: An Introduction

    Katherine Marino, Katherine M Marino et al.ARTICLESigns: Journal of Women in…2022

    Inspired by the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, this special issue seeks to rethink “first wave” feminisms in a heterogeneous and expansive way—by pushing geographic, chronological, and ideological boundaries and by broadening the definition of whom we usually think of as early feminists. Far more than the right to vote, early feminism included anticolonialism and demands for national sovereignty, racial justice, labor rights, peace,…

    Open AccessSusan WareARTICLESocial and Education History2013References: 4

    Title IX, a piece of federal legislation passed in 1972, spurred dramatic growth in the opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports and athletics in the United States, especially in the 1970s. Whereas only 1 out of 27 high school girls participated in sports in 1971, by the end of the decade the figure was 1 out of 3. These breakthroughs were confined to the U.S. Women’s sports activism did not emerge as a global phenomenon until t…

  • Writing Women's Lives: One Historian's Perspective

    Susan WareARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2010Cited by: 3References: 1

    From the start, biography played a vibrant and significant part in the growth of women's history, especially American women's history, as a well-respected and popular field within the historical profession. The insistence of feminist biographers that the personal is political, and that attention must be paid to the daily lives of their subjects as well as to their more public achievements, continues to ripple through the field of biography as a w…
