- Synopsis
- Historians and other scholars explore how women organized to improve the conditions of women and to pursue other political and social objectives during the four decades after World War II. They cover mainstream, leftist, and sexual politics; women's global visions; the politics of location; and feminist consciousness and movement persistence. Among their topics are Bella Abzug and sexual politics in Cold War America, transformations in Methodist women's organizing in postwar America from ladies aid to non-governmental organization, service as radical action in the abortion underground in Chicago, a history of the League of Women Voters 1950-75, reconsidering women's organizing in the Reagan era and beyond, and building lesbian studies during the 1970s and 1980s.
