Suffrage and Its Limits The New York Story


Free Download Kathleen M Dowley, "Suffrage and Its Limits: The New York Story"
English | ISBN: 1438479697 | 2020 | 177 pages | EPUB | 1281 KB
Suffrage and Its Limits offers a unique interdisciplinary overview of the legacy and limits of suffrage for the women of New York State. It commemorates the state suffrage centennial of 2017, yet arrives in time to contribute to celebrations around the national centennial of 2020. Bringing together scholars with a wide variety of research specialties, it initiates a timely dialogue that links an appreciation of accomplishments to a clearer understanding of present problems and an agenda for future progress. The first three chapters explore the state suffrage movement, the 1917 victory, and what New York women did with the vote. The next three chapters focus on the status of women and politics in New York today. The final three chapters take a prospective look at the limits of liberal feminism and its unfinished agenda for women’s equality in New York. A preface by Lieutenant Governor Katherine Hochul and a final chapter by activist Barbara Smith bookend the discussion. Combining diverse approaches and analyses, this collection enables readers to make connections between history, political science, public policy, sociology, philosophy, and activism. This study moves beyond merely celebrating the centennial to tackle women’s issues of today and tomorrow.

Free Download Leonardo Buonomo, "Henry James Writes New York: Identity, Masculinity, Authorship "
English | ISBN: 3031681258 | 2024 | 285 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book offers the first full-length study of Henry James’s relationship with, and literary treatment of, New York. It shows how the city, whether observed or reimagined, always remained an essential component of James’s identity. New York compelled James to confront both his status as an American-born male artist and his age’s prevailing notions of gender, sexuality, class, citizenship, and success. Tracing James’s attachment to the city and how it evolved during his lifetime, this book examines a wide range of James’s works, from his short stories and novels to his non-fiction writing.
