Faxing feminism
In 1995, the global feminist movement launched a dramatic protest against the Chinese government’s attempt to move the NGO Forum for the Beijing Women’s Conference to the remote location of Huairou. The first international feminist protest to rely on digital technology, this unprecedented mass action by women throughout the world exposed both the promise and the pitfalls of using faxes, email, and the internet to rally a social movement around a …

African American Women and the Politics of Poverty in Postwar Philadelphia
In the early 1960s, Bell Jackson lived with her four small children in a poor black neighborhood in North Philadelphia. She did not have promising employment prospects. A physically demanding job at a local factory had led to chronic injuries that prevented her from taking jobs involving heavy lifting.

The Big Tent of U.S. Women's and Gender History
In October 2010 the journalist and author Susan Faludi incited a major controversy in feminist blogospheres, lecture circuits, and college classrooms with a provocative article in Harper's Magazine about generational splits among feminists.

Getting by in Hard Times
From Innocent Children to Unwanted Migrants and Unwed Moms
In June 1961, a stringent set of welfare cutbacks in Newburgh, New York, received widespread public support and incited a racist backlash against welfare throughout the nation. Less than one year earlier, however, an even harsher set of cutbacks aimed specifically at black recipients of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) in the state of Louisiana provoked a mainly critical public response. This article illustrates how the rhetorical framing and hist…
