Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Houston is the complete contemporary document about the only federally-funded national US conference about, by and for women. "I still did not know that women as a group could be competent, courageous and loyal to each other; that we could conduct large, complex events and honor each other's diversity; that we could literally make a history that was our own. But we can. Houston taught me that. And I hope this lesson will not be lost, but carried into the future." - from the introduction by Gloria Steinem. Just in time for the 45th anniversary of the First National Women's Conference, here is The Spirit of Houston The First National Women's Conference: the Official Report to the President, the Congress and the People of the United States, first published in 1978. Out of print practically since then, this is the complete historic document brought out in a facsimile edition by its official photographer, with a new cover, more of her photographs, and a brilliant essay by Gloria Steinem that also has not been republished since 1978. With hundreds of photographs, The Spirit of Houston is a unique resource for historians, students and anyone interested in women's history. Including the text of each of the 24 planks that were voted on as a Plan of Action for the great issues of the day, this is a primary source that reads as easily as a conversation with the great feminist leaders (and some of their opposition) of a turning point in U.S. history. All the challenges that confronted society at the time and a great many of which have been resolved today?or have they?Read the thoughts of, and see, other iconic women such as Billie Jean King, Coretta Scott King, Margaret Mead, Patsy Mink, Jean O'Leary, Yvonne Braithwaite-Burke, Angela Cabrera, Audrey Row-Colon, Cecilia Preciado-Burciaga, Florynce Kennedy, Midge Costanza, Kathryn Clarenbach, Liz Carpenter, Jean Stapleton, Addie Wyatt, Mary Crisp, Eleanor Smeal, Jill Ruckelshaus, three First Ladies Betty Ford, Rosalyn Carter and Ladybird Johnson, and Barbara Jordan, who gave the keynote address.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating true story of the characters in Hulu's "Mrs. America" and a broader portrait of the two women's movements that spurred an enduring rift between liberals and conservatives. "The many admirers of 'Mrs. America' . . . will find great satisfaction in [Divided We Stand] . . . a clear, compelling and deeply insightful volume." —The Washington Post One of Smithsonian Magazine’s Ten Best History Books of the Year In the early 1970s, an ascendant women’s rights movement enjoyed strong support from both political parties and considerable success, but was soon challenged by a conservative women’s movement formed in opposition. Tensions between the two would explode in 1977 at the congressionally funded National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. As Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and other feminists endorsed hot-button issues such as abortion rights, the ERA, and gay rights, Phyllis Schlafly and Lottie Beth Hobbs rallied with conservative women to protest federally funded feminism and launch a pro-family movement. Divided We Stand reveals how crucial women and women’s issues have been in the shaping of today’s political culture. After the National Women’s Conference, Democrats continued to back women’s rights in cooperation with a more diverse feminist movement while the GOP abandoned its previous support for women’s rights and defined itself as the party of family values, irrevocably affecting the course of American politics.
