Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Discussions of Tennessee women's history during the Progressive Era tend to focus narrowlyon the critical issue of suffrage and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. While theachievement of Tennessee's suffragists remains a feather in the state's historic cappushingthe legislature to cast the votes that settled the issue for the nationreform-minded Tennesseewomen in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries participated in a wide range of otherpublic-sphere activities. The first exploration of the work and lives of Progressive Era Tennesseewomen beyond their involvement in the battle for the right to vote, this pioneering compilationprovides a fuller portrait of the work undertaken by these bold activists to improve the lives oftheir fellow citizens. Ranging in subject matter from the role of women's missionary organizations and effortsto end lynching to the challenges of agricultural reform and the development of strongereducational institutions, these essays consider a wide variety of reform efforts that engagedprogressive women in Tennessee before, during, and after the suffrage movement. Throughout,the contributors emphasize the influence of religion on women's reform efforts and examine theways in which these women expanded their public roles while at the same time professingloyalty to more traditional models of womanhood. In demonstrating Tennessee women'sengagement with politics long before they had the vote, ran for office, or served on juries, theseessays also support the argument that a broader definition of "politics" permits a fullerincorporation of women's public activities into U.S. political history. By focusing on the actual work reform-minded women performed, whether paidemployment or volunteer efforts, this anthology illustrates myriad ways in which theseindividuals engaged their communities and reveals the motivations that drove them to improvesociety.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Amid the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the early twentieth century, Progressive Era activists across the United States fought for social, political, and economic change. Tennessee women were no exception. In Constructing Citizenship: Tennessee Public Women in the Progressive Era, Mary A. Evins and Minoa D. Uffelman present a collection of essays that explore the contributions and civic engagement of women in Tennessee during this transformative period. Building upon their first volume, Tennessee Women in the Progressive Era, the contributors examine a variety of themes, organizationally structured in four parts: education, associations, service, and suffrage. Across seventeen chapters, the collection covers women's roles in higher education, medicine, and public health; the women's relief corps and patriotic outreach in Tennessee; the women's club movement on the road to suffrage; the power of feminist leadership; women of color leading the national fight for African American reparations and benevolence; philanthropy and community care; rural Tennessee women's support of suffrage; and more. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, including personal letters, newspaper editorials, and meeting minutes, each contributor foregrounds long-overlooked stories about Tennessee women's public work during the first half of the twentieth century. Covering a period largely missing from the history of Tennessee women, this anthology fills a critical gap in scholarship. Women's history scholars, Tennessee history specialists, and students of US history more broadly will all find it to be a valuable resource both for self-study and the classroom.…
