Celebrating Fifty Years of Feminist Studies
"In celebration of fifty years since Feminist Studies began publishing, in 1972, we asked a selection of authors to convey what having their work published in Feminist Studies has meant for them, both professionally as well as personally. Following are their responses."
American Gold Digger
Brian Donovan offers an engaging and insightful analysis of the stereotype of the gold digger across twentieth-century U.S. history. A gold digger refers to a woman who is believed to pursue romantic relationships for financial gain. This stereotype became, Donovan argues, “a misogynistic trope through which everyday people made sense of marriage, money, and law” (p. 6). Donovan traces a cultural genealogy of gold diggers at key moments throughou…
Thou Shalt Meet Thy Sexual Needs in Marriage
This article traces the changing sexual politics of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) from the 1950s through the 1980s. It argues that the moderates who led the denomination in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s joined other supporters of "sexual containment" during the early Cold War to develop a theology about the salvific power of marital sex-and the personal, social, and national harm created by extramarital sex-which undergirded the sexua…
The Best Possible Immigrants
Rachel Rains Winslow provides an ambitious and wide-ranging analysis of the rise of international adoption from the 1940s to the 1970s. She suggests that the practice of international adoption became an accepted and enduring practice during these years because it provided an appealing solution to humanitarian crises abroad. From prospective adoptive parents seeking to avoid the low supply of children and long wait times for domestic adoptions to …
Experiencing the World From Inside the Classroom
Due to the changing landscape of K-12 education in the United States, particularly issues arising from funding, safety, accessibility, and standardization, the frequency at which teachers utilize traditional field trips has diminished over the last few decades. Thanks to continued advances in communicative technology, however, teachers are able to offer students virtual field trips (VFTs). Although not a perfect substitute for real life field tri…
Holly Allen. Forgotten Men and Fallen Women
Holly Allen offers a compelling analysis of how widely circulated narratives about diverse figures such as the “forgotten man,” the “nagging wife,” and the Kibei “troublemaker” shaped ordinary men’s and women’s understanding of their relationship to the economic, political, and social upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Allen posits that these narratives also help us to understand the era’s vast growth of federal power and the man…
Jean Paton and the Struggle to Reform American Adoption
E. Wayne Carp's biography provides a nuanced primer on the life and ideas of Jean Paton, who is often referred to as the “mother of the adoption reform movement” (p. xiv). Using a treasure trove of previously unavailable writings and personal correspondence, Carp unravels Paton's complex philosophy of the distinct needs, struggles, and denied rights of adopted persons in the United States. His work provides not only an in-depth study of Paton but…
Perceptions of Bias-Motivated Assault Against Bisexual Individuals
This study investigated the understanding of a criminal act (i.e., assault) as a hate crime as well as the perceptions of the victim and defendant in such scenarios based on perceived bisexual orientation of the victim for participants who either reported being an advocate for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community or not. In the presented scenario gender of the victim and defendant were held constant (male/male vs. female/femal…
Family Ideals
This article argues that parents of the post–World War II baby boom chose where to live based primarily on the characteristics of individual neighborhoods, rather than by making sharp distinctions between urban and suburban space. The scholarship on post–World War II domesticity and mass suburbanization usually presumes that these two phenomena went hand in hand as baby-boom parents sought the suburbs’ supposedly unique amenities for nuclear fami…
