Download or read book The Woman s Hour written by Elaine Weiss and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for every reader"--Hillary Rodham Clinton Soon to Be a Major Television Event The nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history: the ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. "With a skill reminiscent of Robert Caro, [Weiss] turns the potentially dry stuff of legislative give-and-take into a drama of courage and cowardice."--The Wall Street Journal "Weiss is a clear and genial guide with an ear for telling language ... She also shows a superb sense of detail, and it's the deliciousness of her details that suggests certain individuals warrant entire novels of their own... Weiss's thoroughness is one of the book's great strengths. So vividly had she depicted events that by the climactic vote (spoiler alert: The amendment was ratified!), I got goose bumps."--Curtis Sittenfeld, The New York Times Book Review Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, twelve have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. The opposing forces include politicians with careers at stake, liquor companies, railroad magnates, and a lot of racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis"--women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the moral collapse of the nation. They all converge in a boiling hot summer for a vicious face-off replete with dirty tricks, betrayals and bribes, bigotry, Jack Daniel's, and the Bible. Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, along with appearances by Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Frederick Douglass, and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Woman's Hour is an inspiring story of activists winning their own freedom in one of the last campaigns forged in the shadow of the Civil War, and the beginning of the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.

Download or read book The Suffragents written by Brooke Kroeger and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Medalist, 2018 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the U.S. History Category Finalist for the 2018 Sally and Morris Lasky Prize presented by the Center for Political History at Lebanon Valley College The Suffragents is the untold story of how some of New York's most powerful men formed the Men's League for Woman Suffrage, which grew between 1909 and 1917 from 150 founding members into a force of thousands across thirty-five states. Brooke Kroeger explores the formation of the League and the men who instigated it to involve themselves with the suffrage campaign, what they did at the behest of the movement's female leadership, and why. She details the National American Woman Suffrage Association's strategic decision to accept their organized help and then to deploy these influential new allies as suffrage foot soldiers, a role they accepted with uncommon grace. Led by such luminaries as Oswald Garrison Villard, John Dewey, Max Eastman, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and George Foster Peabody, members of the League worked the streets, the stage, the press, and the legislative and executive branches of government. In the process, they helped convince waffling politicians, a dismissive public, and a largely hostile press to support the women's demand. Together, they swayed the course of history.
Download or read book 1 3 Million Women Marched written by D. G. M.Ed and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.3 Million Women Marched Get a Glimpse of the Feeling of the Day This nonfiction book is written and self published by an attendee of the Million Woman March. This book gives the reader an inside personal view of what the March was about. The author took a research approach by randomly interviewing forty-eight women involved in the March, and including all of the interviews with the exclusion of two interviews that were found to be unintelligible. THE INTERVIEWS The interviews enclosed within this book were taken via tape recorder, randomly, before, during, and at the process of leaving the March. The interviewees were asked their age, identity, and why they were going to the March, or attending the March. Eventually the interview question evolved into the manner in which the attendees' expectations of the March were met. These interviews have been transcribed as close as possible to the words of the participants. Attendees' names and university names were intentionally omitted in relation to preserving anonymity. ABOUT THE MARCH On October 25, 1997, the 1.3 Million Woman March took place. This March emerged from a silent grassroots cry for all African American Women to come together in a show of healing, unity, and solidarity. As the echo from the silent cry grew louder, the March drew shape to become, 1.3 Million Women of Color, African American, Latina American, European American, Asian American, Guatemalan, Trinidadian, and more, all marching Strong in Unison Together, in a Prominent, and Adamant display, of Unity, Solidarity, and Love. "I am over 25 and I am not a student. I am Latina, and I am coming to support. I am a Chaperone, and I am coming to support the Million Woman March. Being Latina in this county, I hope that this March can send a message out about issues, and struggles that women of African descent experience in this country, and then hopefully the Women of Color in this country, and that can be an agenda for coalition, and for activism. Latina Non-Student -ChaperoneAge over25 "Well, I am a junior both of my parents are African, so I consider myself African American, since I was born here first Generation. What I expect from the March is just finding unity among all the women who are going, and just having respect amongst each other. The reason why I am going is ... cause it's going to be an historical moment. I think it's going to be uplifting, and just a good experience". African American (First Generation)University Student MassachusettsAge over 20 "I am 19 years old, and I am a Pre-Med student with Biology major, and the reason why I am going is .... I feel that the Sistahs should have unity. I feel that there are a lot of mixed feelings among Sistahs here, and I want everything to get cleared up. What I feel that I'll get out of this trip is unity, and Sistah-hood ... I guess".University Student Massachusetts Age 19 "I am Cape Verdean and 24. I m going on the March looking for some sort of hope, I guess. I am a little burnt out, and now I am looking to rekindle the flame to fight. That's it". Cape Verdean University Student MassachusettsAge 24 "Hi, I am a student. I am under the age of 25. I expect more unity among Sisters, and hopefully more Black, Puerto Rican, Minority unity. I am Puerto Rican myself, and I am going on the trip because I want to be part of this. This is big stuff, and I want to be part of this". Puerto Rican University Student MassachusettsAge under 25"I am under 25 years old. I am not a student at the University at this present time. I am going on the trip for; number one, the experience, and number two, the unity with my fellow Black Women. I am an African American going hopefully
Download or read book American Resistance written by Dana R. Fisher and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Donald Trump’s first day in office, a large and energetic grassroots “Resistance” has taken to the streets to protest his administration’s plans for the United States. Millions marched in pussy hats on the day after the inauguration; outraged citizens flocked to airports to declare that America must be open to immigrants; masses of demonstrators circled the White House to demand action on climate change; and that was only the beginning. Who are the millions of people marching against the Trump administration, how are they connected to the Blue Wave that washed over the U.S. Congress in 2018—and what does it all mean for the future of American democracy? American Resistance traces activists from the streets back to the communities and congressional districts around the country where they live, work, and vote. Using innovative survey data and interviews with key players, Dana R. Fisher analyzes how Resistance groups have channeled outrage into activism, using distributed organizing to make activism possible by anyone from anywhere, whenever and wherever it is needed most. Beginning with the first Women’s March and following the movement through the 2018 midterms, Fisher demonstrates how the energy and enthusiasm of the Resistance paid off in a wave of Democratic victories. She reveals how the Left rebounded from the devastating 2016 election, the lessons for turning grassroots passion into electoral gains, and what comes next. American Resistance explains the organizing that is revitalizing democracy to counter Trump’s presidency.

Download or read book Recasting the Vote written by Cathleen D. Cahill and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We think we know the story of women's suffrage in the United States: women met at Seneca Falls, marched in Washington, D.C., and demanded the vote until they won it with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. But the fight for women's voting rights extended far beyond these familiar scenes. From social clubs in New York's Chinatown to conferences for Native American rights, and in African American newspapers and pamphlets demanding equality for Spanish-speaking New Mexicans, a diverse cadre of extraordinary women struggled to build a movement that would truly include all women, regardless of race or national origin. In Recasting the Vote, Cathleen D. Cahill tells the powerful stories of a multiracial group of activists who propelled the national suffrage movement toward a more inclusive vision of equal rights. Cahill reveals a new cast of heroines largely ignored in earlier suffrage histories: Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Zitkala-Ša), Laura Cornelius Kellogg, Carrie Williams Clifford, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, and Adelina "Nina" Luna Otero-Warren. With these feminists of color in the foreground, Cahill recasts the suffrage movement as an unfinished struggle that extended beyond the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. As we celebrate the centennial of a great triumph for the women's movement, Cahill's powerful history reminds us of the work that remains.
Download or read book When Janey Comes Marching Home written by Laura Browder and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While women are officially barred from combat in the American armed services, in the current war, where there are no front lines, the ban on combat is virtually meaningless. More than in any previous conflict in our history, American women are engaging with the enemy, suffering injuries, and even sacrificing their lives in the line of duty. When Janey Comes Marching Home juxtaposes forty-eight photographs by Sascha Pflaeging with oral histories collected by Laura Browder to provide a dramatic portrait of women at war. Women from all five branches of the military share their stories here--stories that are by turns moving, comic, thought-provoking, and profound. Seeing their faces in stunning color photographic portraits and reading what they have to say about loss, comradeship, conflict, and hard choices will change the ways we think about women and war. Serving in a combat zone is an all-encompassing experience that is transformative, life-defining, and difficult to leave behind. By coming face-to-face with women veterans, we who are outside that world can begin to get a sense of how the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have shaped their lives and how their stories may ripple out and influence the experiences of all American women. The book accompanies a photography exhibit of the same name opening May 1, 2010, at the Women in Military Service to America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, and continuing to travel around the country through 2011.
