Of Nightingales, Newberies, Realism, and the Right Books, 1937-1945
Women of ALA Youth Services and Professional Jurisdiction: Of Nightingales, Newberies, Realism, and the Right Books, 1937-1945 CHRISTINEA. JENKINS ABSTRACT YOUTHSERVICES LIBRARIANSHIP-work with young people in school and pub- lic libraries-has always been a female-intensive specialization. The or- ganization of youth services librarians within the American Library Asso- ciation (ALA) has been a powerful professional force since the turn of the century, with the evaluation and promotion of “the right book for the right child holding a central position in their professional jurisdiction. However, during the late 1930s and early 1940s, this jurisdiction over the selection of the best books for young readers was strongly challenged on the basis of gender. An examination of these confrontations reveals con- sistent patterns in both the attacks and the defenses, as well as gender- based assumptions, that ALA youth services leaders confronted in their ultimately successful effort to defend their jurisdiction over the Newbery Medal (awarded yearly to “the most distinguished contribution to litera- ture for children”), while at the same time broadening the profession’s criteria for “the right book to include realistic fiction that dealt with contemporary social issues. INTRODUCTION Youth services librarianship, like teaching, social work, and public health nursing, was one of the child welfare professions that grew up in the United States during the Progressive Era. In the final decades of the nineteenth century, the rapid growth of industrialization and urbaniza- tion, the influx of enormous numbers of immigrants to the United States, and an economic depression stimulated a host of reform activities and Christine A.Jenkins, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, 501 E. -
