The Civil War and Its Place in Military History
This roundtable discussion among War and Society historians places the American Civil War in a comparative military context. It suggests that the conflict between the Union and the Confederacy was an aberration in the broader military history of the United States and the world. Scholars consider citizenship, Black military service, masculinity, the evolution of the regular army, volunteer and conscript armies, the myth of the decisive battle, gue…
Lavender for Lads”
In the Great War, home front schemes in support of wartime causes included the making and transportation of what were called smellies : homemade tokens and commercial gifts that invoked supposedly traditional British scents. For volunteers, this entailed the collection and distribution of homemade lavender and verbena bags as an allegedly effective—and practical—means of aiding those injured at the front. For others, like commercial perfumers, th…
Ding Dong! Avon Calling
Many will recognise the singsong call that featured in Avon advertisements through the second half of the twentieth century. The catchy phrase announced the arrival of the Avon Lady on your doorstep, armed with catalogues, lipstick samples and sales pitches. As Katina Manko’s new monograph shows, it was these women who transformed Avon into the leading direct sales company in the United States through much of the twentieth century. The women of A…
US Army Reforms in the Progressive Era
Consuming Behaviours
Consuming Behaviours, edited by Erika Rappaport, Sandra Trudgen Dawson, and Mark J. Crowley, takes on the ‘contested arena’ of twentieth-century consumer culture, aligning the ‘histories of identity, politics and pleasure’ to mine the ‘promotion and containment’ of consumer behaviours in Britain and its empire (p. 3). This focus on behaviours rather than consumption or consumer society allows contributors to ‘highlight the similarities between pa…
Organizational Change and Adaptation in the US Army
The military profession changes by both slow evolution and sudden revolution. This article offers a typology to understand the factors that influence such changes, and then suggests how each factor might help or hinder the US Army's ability to adapt in the near future. ********** Between the early nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the US Army transformed how it prepared for war. This shift grew from an equally stark change in how the offi…
Buying Beauty
In recent years, historians of American, French, and global beauty consumption have charted the rich relationship linking beautifying goods to self‐fashioning and the body, historical subjectivities, and the construction of gender and racial identities. Yet, despite productive attention to male beauty in Britain and its relationship to masculinity and the history of sexuality, little attention has been devoted to women's beauty consumption in mod…
Pomeroy v. Pomeroy
As a fictional personality trading as ‘Mrs Pomeroy’, Jeannette Scalé dominated London's elite beauty market through the late nineteenth century. By 1906, her control over the expansive commercial empire had collapsed, as new company owners publicly accused her of pecuniary ambitions unbefitting her sex. This article charts Scalé's extraordinary transformation into London's leading complexion specialist, exploring the gender conventions regulating…
James Hinton and Victorian Individuality
James Hinton was a charismatic thinker who influenced the mid-Victorian concept of altruism and later sexologists such as Havelock Ellis. Secretly, he also believed that polygamy would solve the problems of sexual frustration, prostitution, and female poverty. His obsessions with polygamy are evident in five volumes of largely unpublished manuscripts found in the British Library. However, in examining the roots of Hinton’s beliefs, we can see tha…

Goal Orientations and Illegal Behavior Among Juveniles
This study of goal orientations among juveniles in four types of communities—rural farm, upper urban, lower urban, industrial city—examines two conflicting theories about illegal behavior: (1) that it is due largely to the pursuit of goals peculiar to the lower class and (2) that it is provoked by unequal chances of attaining goals which are essentially similar for all classes. The findings indicate, among other things, that both viewpoints have …
