At the Biltmore Conference the Zionists had reason to proclaim openly their political intentions before the American public. Although political Zionism had long pursued the goal of a Jewish state, only the circumstances of modern history compelled the complete unveiling of Zionist intentions.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.

  • ON the FLOOR Lyndon Johnson Continued to Take Every Concei
    CHAPTER 6 "VULTURES" IN THE GALLERIES; "MIRACLES" ON THE FLOOR Lyndon Johnson continued to take every conceivable opportunity to increase the public awareness of civil rights. The president repeatedly linked the bipartisan civil rights bill to Abraham Lincoln and the fact that the nation had recently celebrated, in July l963, the l00th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. In response to a reporter's question about the civil rights bill at a White House press conference, Johnson said: I hope it is acted upon in the House before the members leave to attend Lincoln Day birthday meetings throughout the nation, because it would be a great tribute to President Lincoln to have that bill finally acted upon in the House before we go out to celebrate his birthday."1 At that same press conference, again in response to a reporter's question, Johnson gave what looked like a "go ahead" for some sort of women's rights amendment to be added to the bipartisan civil rights bill. The transcript of the question and answer read like this: REPORTER: Mr. President, Thursday in the [House] Rules Committee an amendment was offered to include women in the ban on discrimination in the 103 TO END ALL SEGREGATION civil rights bill. That was defeated by one vote and will be brought up again on the floor of the House. In the Democratic platform it says -- and if I may read you just a few words -- "We support legislation which will guarantee to women equality of rights under the law." Would you support an amendment to include women in the civil rights bill? PRESIDENT JOHNSON: I supported that platform and embraced that platform, and stated that view in 43 states in the Union.
