The Challenges to Traditional Histories
This chapter discusses how general readers admire the traditional fields of political, economic, military, and diplomatic history more than professional historians do. It identifies a systematic crisis in the profession and questions how the discipline as a whole has dealt with the powerful challenge to the traditional fields from postmodern theories and deconstructionist methodologies. It shows that within the field of U.S. foreign policy, the b…

A Faustian Foreign Policy from Woodrow Wilson to George W. Bush
A Faustian Foreign Policy from Woodrow Wilson to George W. Bush critiques U.S. foreign policy during this period by showing how moralistic diplomacy has increasingly assumed Faustian overtones, especially during the Cold War and following September 11. The ideological components of American diplomacy, originating in the late 18th and 19th centuries, evolved through the 20th century as U.S. economic and political power steadily increased. Seeing m…
American women and the lingering implications of coverture
Because coverture restrictions prevented most married American women from the colonial period through a good part of the 19th century from acting as their own agents at law or to have independent property rights, attempts were made to modify this legal disability. Married Women Property Acts partially remedied some of these legal disabilities, but others lingered well into the 20th century because, unlike most contracts, the marriage contract in …

The Ambiguous Legacy
This collection of essays assesses the record of American foreign policy over the course of the twentieth century. The essays comprise the work of political scientists as well as historians, conservatives as well as liberals, foreign scholars as well as Americans. Taking off from Henry Luce's vision of an 'American century', the authors discuss such important topics as the American conception of the national interest, the tension between democrac…
The American Century
When Gertrude Stein dogmatically asserted that the twentieth century began in 1920, she did not know that it also marked the beginning of modern U.S. foreign policy. The First World War and its aftermath set in motion on its bloodthirsty course what would become the American Century. The century proclaimed American in 1941 by publisher Henry R. Luce commenced in the 1920s because the nineteenth century did not end until 1914 with the events follo…
A reply to my critics
It is difficult to compose a response to two such very different replies to my article ‘Gender as a postmodern category of paralysis) in women's History Review (Volume 3, No. 2, 1994). Clearly Susan Kingsley Kent shares no qualms about deconstruction, while Caroline Ramazanoglu shares some of mine

Gender as a postmodern category of paralysis
While spending the better part of two academic years out of her home country, the USA, the author became increasingly perplexed by the current emphasis on poststructural theory in the writing of women's history. She says this because such theory may not only isolate this highly successful new subfield from the ongoing Second Women's Movement in the United States and from history teachers trying to integrate material on women into their classes, b…
Law, Gender, and Injustice
In this widely acclaimed landmark study, Joan Hoff illustrates how women remain second- class citizens under the current legal system and questions whether the continued pursuit of equality based on a one-size-fits-all vision of traditional individual rights is really what will most improve conditions for women in America as they prepare for the twenty-first century. Concluding that equality based on liberal male ideology is no longer an adequate…
