  • Amelia Stone Quinton and the Women's National Indian Association

    Open AccessLouise Michele NewmanARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2023

    As Valerie Sherer Mathes points out in this scholarly biography, Amelia Stone Quinton (1833–1926) was the most prominent female leader within the Indian reform movement and yet she is not well known to women’s historians in part because this social movement has been cordoned off to the realm of Indian history, but also because the Women’s National Indian Association, which she cofounded with Mary Lucinda Bonney, embraced assimilationist doctrines…

  • Nobody's Girl Friday

    Open AccessLouise Michele NewmanARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    This erudite account of women in Hollywood from 1924 through 1954 documents the influence that women wielded as agents, producers, scriptwriters, editors, public relations officers, media pundits, and costume designers during the studio era. J. E. Smyth argues that the heyday for women in the industry was the 1930s and early 1940s. Only in the late 1940s did women become the “scapegoats for power struggles that were as much about payback from Ame…

  • White Women's Rights

    Melanie Gustafson, Louise Michele NewmanARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Louise Michele Newman's White Women's Rights is a compelling investigation of how racial questions informed the creation of white feminist thought in the United States. The foundation of early white women's rights activism was evolutionism, which allowed white women to cast themselves in the unique role of “civilizers” of “primitive” peoples. Through assimilation, Americanization, and the American imperialist mission, white women sought to domest…

  • White Women ‘s Rights

    Louise Michele NewmanBOOKWhite women's rights1999

    This study reinterprets a crucial period (1870s-1920s) in the history of women's rights, focusing attention on a core contradiction at the heart of early feminist theory. At a time when white elites were concerned with imperialist projects and civilizing missions, progressive white women developed an explicit racial ideology to promote their cause, defending patriarchy for "primitives" while calling for its elimination among the "civilized." By e…
