Book excerpt: "Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free."Step into the dynamic world of feminist thought with Floyd Dell's seminal work, a cornerstone of feminist literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Delving into the lives and legacies of pioneering figures such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Emmeline Pankhurst, and Jane Addams, Dell's insightful essays offer a comprehensive exploration of modern feminism. From the literary activism of Olive Schreiner to the political fervor of Emma Goldman, Dell examines the diverse contributions of women as architects of social progress and champions of human rights. Through meticulous analysis and passionate advocacy, he highlights the pivotal roles played by figures such as Margaret Dreier Robins, Ellen Key, and others in shaping the feminist movement. This edition, with Dell's timeless essays, underscores the enduring relevance of his work in the contemporary fight for gender equality. Whether you're a seasoned feminist scholar or a newcomer to the field, this book is essential reading for anyone passionate about advancing the cause of women's rights and understanding the multifaceted nature of modern feminism. Floyd Dell, hailed as "one of the most flamboyant, versatile and influential American Men of Letters of the first third of the 20th Century," brings his unique perspective and literary prowess to bear in this compelling collection. His depth of insight and engaging prose make his writings not only informative but also a pleasure to read. In 2015, he was inducted into the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame, solidifying his legacy as a literary luminary. Extract: "But first the explanation of why I, a man, write these articles on feminism. It involves the betrayal of a secret: the secret, that is, of the apparent indifference or even hostility of men toward the woman's movement. The fact is, as has been bitterly recited by the rebellious leaders of their sex, that women have always been what man wanted them to be-have changed to suit his changing ideals. The fact is, furthermore, that the woman's movement of today is but another example of that readiness of women to adapt themselves to a masculine demand. Men are tired of subservient women; or, to speak more exactly, of the seemingly subservient woman who effects her will by stealth-the pretty slave with all the slave's subtlety and cleverness. So long as it was possible for men to imagine themselves masters, they were satisfied. But when they found out that they were dupes, they wanted a change. If only for self-protection, they desired to find in woman a comrade and an equal. In reality they desired it because it promised to be more fun. So that we have as the motive behind the rebellion of women an obscure rebellion of men. Why, then, have men appeared hostile to the woman's rebellion? Because what men desire are real individuals who have achieved their own freedom. It will not do to pluck freedom like a flower and give it to the lady with a polite bow. She must fight for it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social progress is a complex process. Many forces apparently antagonistic unite in promoting progress. This may seem a truism-and it is; but our "Marxists" (sic) no longer appreciate the fact, judging by their dogmatic denunciation of syndicalism, feminism, and other new ideas and movements. Only when interpreted in terms of the social and psychological process as a whole can the revolutionary movement maintain equilibrium in theory and practice. This apropos of a book with a big idea incompletely expressed. Floyd Dell adumbrates the concept of social process, impelled thereto by observation of facts and not by analytical comprehension. He is not a monomaniac who conceives feminism exclusively in terms of one idea. A process deep and broad as life itself, that is his vital conception of the feminist movement. And how is the conception developed? Mr. Dell calls his method "journalistic"; a severe critic might call it superficial. Through an analysis of various representative feminists he expresses the various phases of the woman movement. The method may or may not be judicious-that largely depends upon how it is used. Our author, however, uses it in a way which does not probe the depths of the subject. His method is human and personal. This sort of thing has its place, providing it is not used as a basis for social conclusions. But Mr. Dell does draw social conclusions. And, inevitably, they possess no validity. It is dangerous to appraise women's prospective influence in politics in the light of their personal and sex characteristics. Here the human factor is subordinate to the social class factor. According to Mr. Dell, women are instinctively militant and not conciliative. He cites the failure of Jane Addams' attempt to "span the gulf between rich and poor" through social settlement work. "The splendid social idealism of the '80's, of which Miss Addams is representative, has disappeared, leaving two sides angry and hostile." The conciliatory Miss Addams has failed to rally women to her banner, while "shop girls and college students and wives and old women" answer Mrs. Pankhurst's cry for militancy. Accordingly, women are instinctively militant: "have a fighting soul" in politics will be "an unruly Niagara." Women m politics will perform a "historic mission" -- "subdue" politics "to their purposes, remold it nearer to their hearts' desire, change it as men would never dream of changing it, wreck it savagely in the face of our masculine protest and merrily rebuild it anew in the face of our despair." --New Review, Volume 2

Download or read book Modern Women in China and Japan written by Katrina Gulliver and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the 1930s a new empowered and liberated image of the female was taking root in popular culture in the West. This 'modern woman' archetype was also penetrating into Eastern cultures, however, challenging the Chinese and Japanese historical norm of the woman as homemaker, servant or geisha. Through a focus on the writings of the Western women who engaged with the Far East, and the Eastern writers and personalities who reacted to this new global gender communication by forming their own separate identities, Katrina Gulliver reveals the complex redefining of the self taking place in a crucial time of political and economic upheaval. Including an analysis of the work of Nobel Prize laureate Pearl S. Buck, The Modern Woman in China and Japan is an important contribution to gender studies and will appeal to historians and scholars of China and East Asia as well as to those studying Asian and American literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal under the Sky is the first historical study of Georgia O’Keeffe’s complex involvement with, and influence on, US feminism from the 1910s to the 1970s. Utilizing understudied sources such as fan letters, archives of women’s organizations, transcripts of women’s radio shows, and programs from women’s colleges, Linda M. Grasso shows how and why feminism and O’Keeffe are inextricably connected in popular culture and scholarship. The women’s movements that impacted the creation and reception of O’Keeffe’s art, Grasso argues, explain why she is a national icon who is valued for more than her artistic practice.

Book excerpt: Author of the New York Times bestseller Useful Idiots and popular columnist Mona Charen takes a close, reasoned look at the aggressive feminist agenda undermining the success and happiness of men and women across the country In this smart, deeply necessary critique, Mona Charen unpacks the ways feminism fails us at home, in the workplace, and in our personal relationships--by promising that we can have it all, do it all, and be it all. Here, she upends the feminist agenda and the liberal conversation surrounding women's issues by asking tough and crucial questions, such as: Did women's full equality require the total destruction of the nuclear family? Did it require a sexual revolution that would dismantle traditions of modesty, courtship, and fidelity that had characterized relations between the sexes for centuries? Did it cause the broken dating culture and the rape crisis on our college campuses? Did it require war between the sexes that would deem men the "enemy" of women? Have the strides of feminism made women happier in their home and work life. (The answer is No.) Sex Matters tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes--family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The time has come to define feminism; it is no longer possible to ignore it." The Century Magazine, 1914 In this landmark addition to scholarship, Nancy F. Cott, author of The Bonds of Womanhood, offers a new interpretation of American feminism during the early decades of this century--a period traditionally viewed as on in which women won the right to vote and then lost interest in feminist issues. Cott argues instead that his period was a time of crisis and transition from the nineteenth-century "woman movement' to the beginning of modern feminism. Many of the issues that are central to women today, says Cott, were firmly articulated in the early decades of this century. For example, the problem of defining sexual equality so as to recognize sexual difference between men and women, the ambiguous potential of a movement seeking individual freedoms for women by mobilizing sex solidarity, and the tensions involved in attaining full expression in work and love are all enduring elements of feminism seized upon by women of the 1910s and 1920s. First discussing how feminism was indebted to its predecessors, Cott shows that increasing heterogeneity and diverse loyalties among women in the early twentieth century contradicted the premise of the nineteenth-century "cause of woman" (the singular noun symbolizing the unity of the female sex). From this crisis emerged feminism, championing individual variability and refuting the premise that a singular "woman" existed. Cott focuses on the suffrage-campaign milieu in which feminism arose, giving particular attention to the character and role of the National Woman's Party from its militant suffrage days to its advocacy of the equal right amendment in the 1920s. Against prevailing interpretations of the decline of women's political activities after 1920, Cott counterposes the swelling numbers in women's voluntary associations and their political efforts. She also analyzes the pitfalls that awaited women who tried for effectiveness in the male-dominated political parties. She sets the controversy over the equal rights amendment in new context, discussing the full dimensions of the conflict as not merely over personalities, tactics, or class loyalties, but as a signal example of the modern problem of capturing sexual equality and sexual difference in law. The book explores the irony-strewn path of women who as aspiring professionals and political actors attempted to put into practice the feminist intent to replace the abstraction "woman" with, instead, "the human sex." This history--the story of women who first claimed the name feminists--builds an essential bridge between the presuffrage period and today.

Book excerpt: The original essays in this collection ground the shifting terrain of feminism in the 21st century. The contributors define and examine the complexity of the Third Wave by answering questions like: how appropriate is a "third wave" label for contemporary feminism; are the agendas of contemporary feminism and the "second wave" really all that different; does the wave metaphor accurately describe the difference between contemporary feminists and their predecessors; how do women of color fit into this notion of contemporary feminism; and what are the future directions of the feminist movement?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary feminist theory, the problem of feminine subjectivity persistently appears and reappears as the site that grounds all discussion of feminism. In Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom, Linda M. G. Zerilli argues that the persistence of this subject-centered frame severely limits feminists' capacity to think imaginatively about the central problem of feminist theory and practice: a politics concerned with freedom. Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, Zerilli here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting "women" as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment. She revisits the democratic problem of exclusion from participation in common affairs and elaborates a freedom-centered feminism as the political practice of beginning anew, world-building, and judging. In a series of case studies, Zerilli draws on the political thought of Hannah Arendt to articulate a nonsovereign conception of political freedom and to explore a variety of feminist understandings of freedom in the twentieth century, including ones proposed by Judith Butler, Monique Wittig, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective. In so doing, Zerilli hopes to retrieve what Arendt called feminism's lost treasure: the original and radical claim to political freedom.
