INSTITUTION American Federation of Teachers, Washington, D.C.; United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America. PUB DATE 93 NOTE 87p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Elementary Secondary Education; *Employed Women; History Instruction; Labor Demands; *Quality of Working Life; Sex Discrimination; *Social History; *Strikes; *Unions; Womens Studies IDENTIFIERS Flynn (Elizabeth Gurley); Kelley (Florence); 0 Sullivan (Mary Kenney); Perkins (Frances) ABSTRACT This document consists of one page chaptes:s each documenting women's roles in changing the conditions for U.S. workers during and after the industrial revolution. Each chapter is a series of period style drawings with captions detailing the story of that particular incident and cartoon balloons offering humorous comments from the participants. The document contains 83 chapters and covers the role of the woman worker from the first strike of factory workers in the United States, in 1824 at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the site of the first successful water powered cotton mill, to the New Deal legislation of 1933. Some of the lessons are parts of a series. In this case the lesson is extended over several of the one page chapters. Each of these specifies that it is part of a longer series. One of these is a section on a strike by women, children, and immigrant workers in the international textile industry center of Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912. Individuals such as labor organizers Mary Kenney O'Sullivan and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn are profiled. Different strikes throughout the history of the U.S. labor movement are detailed. A chapter on the tragic fire at the Triangle Shirt Company is included. This tragedy, with its loss of 143 lives, so affected Frances Perkins, a witness to the fire in 1911 that she spent her life fighting poor labor conditions. In 1912 she became chief investigator for the New York State Factory Commission. In 1933 she became the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her U.S. Secretary of Labor.

  • Upton Sinclair Against Capitalism
    Scientific Journal in Humanities, 1(1):41-46,2012 ISSN:2298-0245 Walking Through The Jungle: Upton Sinclair Against Capitalism George SHADURI* Abstract At the beginning of the 20th century, the American novel started exploring social themes and raising social problems. Upton Sinclair’s novel The Jungle, which appeared in 1906, was a true sensation for American reading community. On the one hand, it described the outra- geous practices of meatpacking industry prevalent at those times on the example of slaughterhouses in Chicago suburbs; on the other hand, it exposed the hapless life of American worker: the book showed what kind of suffering the worker experienced from his thankless work and poor living conditions. Sinclair hoped that the novel, which was avidly read both in America and abroad, would help improve the plight of American worker. However, to his disappointment, the government and society focused their attention exclusively on unhealthy meatpacking practices, which brought about necessary, but still superficial reforms, ignoring the main topic: the life of the common worker. Sinclair was labeled “a muckraker”, whereas he in reality aspired for the higher ideal of changing the existing social order, the thought expressed both in his novels and articles. The writer did not take into account that his ideas of non-violent, but drastic change of social order were alien for American society, for which capitalism was the most natural and acceptable form of functioning. The present article refers to the opinions of both American and non-American scholars to explain the reasons for the failure of Sinclair’s expectations, and, based on their views, concludes why such a failure took place.

  • Anarchy! an Anthology of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth
    U.S. $22.95 Political Science anarchy ! Anarchy! An Anthology of Emma Goldman’s MOTHER EARTH (1906–1918) is the first An A n t hol o g y collection of work drawn from the pages of the foremost anarchist journal published in America—provocative writings by Goldman, Margaret Sanger, Peter Kropotkin, Alexander Berkman, and dozens of other radical thinkers of the early twentieth cen- tury. For this expanded edition, editor Peter Glassgold contributes a new preface that offers historical grounding to many of today’s political movements, from liber- tarianism on the right to Occupy! actions on the left, as well as adding a substantial section, “The Trial and Conviction of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman,” which includes a transcription of their eloquent and moving self-defense prior to their imprisonment and deportation on trumped-up charges of wartime espionage. of E m m A g ol dm A n’s Mot h er ea rt h “An indispensable book . a judicious, lively, and enlightening work.” —Paul Avrich, author of Anarchist Voices “Peter Glassgold has done a great service to the activist spirit by returning to print Mother Earth’s often stirring, always illuminating essays.” —Alix Kates Shulman, author of Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen “It is wonderful to have this collection of pieces from the days when anarchism was an ism— and so heady a brew that the government had to resort to illegal repression to squelch it. What’s more, it is still a heady brew.” —Kirkpatrick Sale, author of The Dwellers in the Land “Glassgold opens with an excellent brief history of the publication.

  • THE JUNGLE by VICTORIA ALLEN, M.Ed
    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF UPTON SINCLAIR’S THE JUNGLE By VICTORIA ALLEN, M.Ed. SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle 2 INTRODUCTION The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was written at the turn of the twentieth century. This period is often painted as one of advancement of the human condition. Sinclair refutes this by unveiling the horrible injustices of Chicago’s meat packing industry as Jurgis Rudkus, his protagonist, discovers the truth about opportunity and prosperity in America. This book is a good choice for eleventh and twelfth grade, junior college, or college students mature enough to understand the purpose of its content. The “hooks” for most students are the human-interest storyline and the graphic descriptions of the meat industry and the realities of immigrant life in America. The teacher’s main role while reading this book with students is to help them understand Sinclair’s purpose. Coordinating the reading of The Jungle with a United States history study of the beginning of the 1900s will illustrate that this novel was not intended as mere entertainment but written in the cause of social reform. As students read, they should be encouraged to develop and express their own ideas about the many political, ethical, and personal issues addressed by Sinclair. This guide includes an overview, which identifies the main characters and summarizes each chapter.

    The Masses Index 1911-1917 1 Radical Magazines ofthe Twentieth Century Series THE MASSES INDEX 1911-1917 1911-1917 By Theodore F. Watts \ Forthcoming volumes in the "Radical Magazines ofthe Twentieth Century Series:" The Liberator (1918-1924) The New Masses (Monthly, 1926-1933) The New Masses (Weekly, 1934-1948) Foreword The handful ofyears leading up to America's entry into World War I was Socialism's glorious moment in America, its high-water mark ofenergy and promise. This pregnant moment in time was the result ofdecades of ferment, indeed more than 100 years of growing agitation to curb the excesses of American capitalism, beginning with Jefferson's warnings about the deleterious effects ofurbanized culture, and proceeding through the painful dislocation ofthe emerging industrial economy, the ex- cesses ofspeculation during the Civil War, the rise ofthe robber barons, the suppression oflabor unions, the exploitation of immigrant labor, through to the exposes ofthe muckrakers. By the decade ofthe ' teens, the evils ofcapitalism were widely acknowledged, even by champions ofthe system. Socialism became capitalism's logical alternative and the rallying point for the disenchanted. It was, of course, merely a vision, largely untested. But that is exactly why the socialist movement was so formidable. The artists and writers of the Masses didn't need to defend socialism when Rockefeller's henchmen were gunning down mine workers and their families in Ludlow, Colorado. Eventually, the American socialist movement would shatter on the rocks ofthe Russian revolution, when it was finally confronted with the reality ofa socialist state, but that story comes later, after the Masses was run from the stage.

    Please note: Each segment in this Webisode has its own Teaching Guide Jane Addams spearheaded a movement to improve the lives of poor immigrant workers. On September 8, 1889, she founded Hull House in the middle of Chicago’s worst immigrant slum. The social settlement house (similar to today’s community center) served a residential and industrial neighborhood of predominately Russian and Polish Jews, Italians, Irish, Germans, Greeks, and Bohemians. With the opening of Hull House, Addams and her fellow activists forged a powerful reform movement. They lived at Hull House to better understand the problems of the poor and fulfill Addams’ mission of “neighbors helping neighbors.” From Hull House they offered hot lunches, kindergarten and child care services for working mothers, tutoring in English, an employment bureau, an art gallery, libraries, music and art classes, and social events. By 1900, Hull House activities broadened to include a cooperative residence for working women, the first little theatre in America, a labor museum, and a meeting place for trade union groups. Following the Hull House example, community centers and settlement houses opened in other cities. Hull House became the meeting place for like-minded intellectuals and social reformers, many of whom came to learn from Addams’ work. Perhaps the most prominent woman of her time, Jane Addams of Hull House epitomized the social and political reform spirit of Progressivism through her settlement work, her writing, and her international efforts for world peace.

ALICE HAMILTON: THE MAKING OF A FEMINIST-PRAGMATIST RHETOR by VICKI J. MCCOY Under the Direction of James F. Darsey ABSTRACT Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), the leading American figure in industrial medicine during the early to mid-1900s, left behind a body of rhetoric that is important in the history of American feminist discourse and American public address. Her discourse is the exemplary of feminist-pragmatist rhetoric, a genre of cross-gender communication developed by New Women associated with Hull House and the University of Chicago between 1892 and 1918. Hamilton’s rhetoric illuminates a key event in the history of the American rhetorical tradition—the emergence of the modern woman from her late- Victorian beginnings through her Progressive self-transformation. This study is approached as a rhetorical biography. It tracks Hamilton’s evolution from “reticent scientist” to outspoken feminist-pragmatist by examining family, educational, peer and social influences on her development; and through critical analysis of her speeches, technical writing, books, and popular and specialty magazine articles over a 36-year period, from 1907 to 1943.
