  • Working Mothers and the Postponement of Women's
    SUK_FINAL PROOF_REDLINE.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 3/13/2021 4:13 AM WORKING MOTHERS AND THE POSTPONEMENT OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS FROM THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT JULIE C. SUK* The Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1920 spawned new initiatives to advance the status of women, including the proposal of another constitutional amendment that would guarantee women equality in all legal rights, beyond the right to vote. Both the Nineteenth Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) grew out of the long quest to enshrine women’s equal status under the law as citizens, which began in the nineteenth century. Nearly a century later, the ERA remains unfinished business with an uncertain future. Suffragists advanced different visions and strategies for women’s empowerment after they got the constitutional right to vote. They divided over the ERA. Their disagreements, this Essay argues, productively postponed the ERA, and reshaped its meaning over time to be more responsive to the challenges women faced in exercising economic and political power because they were mothers. An understanding of how and why *Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and Liberal Studies, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and Florence Rogatz Visiting Professor of Law (fall 2020) and Senior Research Scholar, Yale Law School. Huge thanks to Saul Cornell, Deborah Dinner, Vicki Jackson, Michael Klarman, Jill Lepore, Suzette Malveaux, Jane Manners, Sara McDougall, Paula Monopoli, Jed Shugerman, Reva Siegel, and Kirsten Swinth. Their comments and reactions to earlier iterations of this project conjured this Essay into existence. This Essay began as a presentation of disconnected chunks of research for my book, WE THE WOMEN: THE UNSTOPPABLE MOTHERS OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT (2020) , but the conversations generated by law school audiences nudged me to write a separate essay to explore more thoroughly how the story of suffragists’ ERA dispute after the Nineteenth Amendment affects the future of constitutional lawmaking.

  • Cultural Anthropology Through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-Based Sentiment
    Cultural Anthropology through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-based Sentiment Peter A. Gloor, Joao Marcos, Patrick M. de Boer, Hauke Fuehres, Wei Lo, Keiichi Nemoto [email protected] MIT Center for Collective Intelligence Abstract In this paper we study the differences in historical World View between Western and Eastern cultures, represented through the English, the Chinese, Japanese, and German Wikipedia. In particular, we analyze the historical networks of the World’s leaders since the beginning of written history, comparing them in the different Wikipedias and assessing cultural chauvinism. We also identify the most influential female leaders of all times in the English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese Wikipedia. As an additional lens into the soul of a culture we compare top terms, sentiment, emotionality, and complexity of the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German Wikinews. 1 Introduction Over the last ten years the Web has become a mirror of the real world (Gloor et al. 2009). More recently, the Web has also begun to influence the real world: Societal events such as the Arab spring and the Chilean student unrest have drawn a large part of their impetus from the Internet and online social networks. In the meantime, Wikipedia has become one of the top ten Web sites1, occasionally beating daily newspapers in the actuality of most recent news. Be it the resignation of German national soccer team captain Philipp Lahm, or the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 in the Ukraine by a guided missile, the corresponding Wikipedia page is updated as soon as the actual event happened (Becker 2012.

  • Empathize with Your Enemy”
    PEACE AND CONFLICT: JOURNAL OF PEACE PSYCHOLOGY, 10(4), 349–368 Copyright © 2004, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Lesson Number One: “Empathize With Your Enemy” James G. Blight and janet M. Lang Thomas J. Watson Jr. Institute for International Studies Brown University The authors analyze the role of Ralph K. White’s concept of “empathy” in the context of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and firebombing in World War II. They fo- cus on the empathy—in hindsight—of former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, as revealed in the various proceedings of the Critical Oral History Pro- ject, as well as Wilson’s Ghost and Errol Morris’s The Fog of War. Empathy is the great corrective for all forms of war-promoting misperception … . It [means] simply understanding the thoughts and feelings of others … jumping in imagination into another person’s skin, imagining how you might feel about what you saw. Ralph K. White, in Fearful Warriors (White, 1984, p. 160–161) That’s what I call empathy. We must try to put ourselves inside their skin and look at us through their eyes, just to understand the thoughts that lie behind their decisions and their actions. Robert S. McNamara, in The Fog of War (Morris, 2003a) This is the story of the influence of the work of Ralph K. White, psychologist and former government official, on the beliefs of Robert S. McNamara, former secretary of defense. White has written passionately and persuasively about the importance of deploying empathy in the development and conduct of foreign policy. McNamara has, as a policymaker, experienced the success of political decisions made with the benefit of empathy and borne the responsibility for fail- Requests for reprints should be sent to James G.

  • Housing Desegregation in the Era of Deregulation Christopher Bonastia
    Housing Desegregation in the Era of Deregulation Christopher Bonastia hen Jimmy Carter was sworn into the nation’s highest office on January 20, 1977, Civil Rights supporters mustered some hope. In “The State of Black WAmerica—1977,” the Urban League reflected this tempered optimism: After eight years of a national Administration that blacks—rightly or wrongly—regarded as hostile to their needs and aspirations, they now feel that 1977 might bring a change in direction and that possibly the same type of moral leadership that led the nation to accept the legiti- macy of black demands for equality during the 60s, might once again be present in Washington.1 While 94 percent of Black voters supported Carter, the intensity with which the administration would address issues of racial inequality was unclear. As Hugh Davis Graham notes, Carter “stepped into a policy stream that since the late 1960s had carried two conflicting currents”: the “white backlash” politics ex- emplified by Nixon’s “Southern strategy,” and “the quiet mobilization of a com- prehensive regime of civil rights regulation. By the mid-1970s, the expanded civil rights coalition, under the adept coordination of the Leadership Confer- ence on Civil Rights, had won bipartisan respect in Congress for its ability to mobilize constituency group support.” However, Civil Rights gains tended to come in “complex areas little understood by the general public, such as employee testing and minority hiring tables,” rather than in high-profile issues such as housing desegregation.2 While housing had ranked high on Carter’s list of legislative priorities, his focus was on bolstering construction, home ownership, public housing, and rent subsidies rather than fair-housing issues.3 Ironically, fair-housing proponents would have been pleased if HUD’s commitment to desegregation under Carter Christopher Bonastia is a professor of sociology at Lehman College and the City University of New York Graduate Center and the associate director of honors programs at Lehman College.
