At the 1972 meeting in Washington, D.C. , an over-flow crowd, which had to be hurriedly moved to a larger room, heard chairman Clarke A. Chambers, director of the Social Welfare History Archives and professor of history, and other archivists and historians describe mate- rial in repositories in their regions or useful in their own research fields. A fifty-page checklist prepared by Andrea Hinding, curator of the Social Welfare History Archives, and members of the Social Welfare History Archives staff was distributed to more than 150 people who attended the session and later by mail to hundreds who wrote to request copies. The response to the session and the preliminary check- list led Anne Firor Scott to discuss the possibility of a women's history conference with Rockefeller Foundation staff members Peter Wood and Jane Allen. In the summer of 1972 the Rockefeller Foundation sponsored a confer- ence to discuss priorities in the women's history field. The historians, archivists, and students gathered at Foundation headquarters in New York spent two days discussing the need for research, fellowships for junior and established historians in the field, support for graduate students and bibliographic work yet to be done.

  • 2012 OAH/NCPH ANNUAL MEETING • MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN • 1 At-A-Glance Schedule of Events
    Welcome Our joint OAH/NCPH program committee this year faced an unusual set of challenges. It began meeting as controversies over Wisconsin’s budget broke into protest movements against austerity cuts and the rights of Wisconsin’s public employees to bargain collectively. These reactions raised questions about the meaning and practice of democracy in a nation where state and national governments found themselves guided by the principles of free-market capitalism. We had, by then, already selected the overall theme of the meeting, “Frontiers of Capitalism and Democracy,” with a view to reflecting on what our call for papers described as the tensions and complementaries of capitalism and democracy at “frontier” moments in the past. Our program Photo by Eileen Baroso committee, co-chaired by Nancy MacLean and Kathleen Franz, now faced the possibility that we were living in such a “frontier” moment and rose to the challenge of exploring the issues in all their dimen- sions. We believe that you will find the program this year unusually provocative and filled with food to nurture the mind and soul. Our program contains an array of history and public history sessions designed to satisfy a variety of tastes. We have constructed thematic threads that will especially appeal to teachers at all levels, and we offer sessions of particular interest to those who live and work in Wisconsin as well as to those who want to understand the historical roots of contemporary issues. We have invited senior historians to offer challenging interpretive papers, and younger scholars and public history practitioners eager to try out new work.

  • The Big Tent of U.S. Women's and Gender History: a State of the Field
    The Big Tent of U.S. Women’s and Gender History: A State of the Field Cornelia H. Dayton and Lisa Levenstein In October 2010 the journalist and author Susan Faludi incited a major controversy in feminist blogospheres, lecture circuits, and college classrooms with a provocative article in Harper’s Magazine about generational splits among feminists. In Faludi’s rendering, members of a young, tech-savvy generation embrace deconstruction theory, popular culture studies, and analyses of “the body” while celebrating their empowerment through high-heeled shoes and Lady Gaga. These priorities outrage an older generation, which focuses on the persistent structural oppression of women and does not consider blogging a valid form of political organizing. In 2009 this generational struggle came to a head in the highly contentious election for the National Organization for Women’s presidency, which thirty-two-year-old Latifa Lyles lost by a razor-thin margin to Terry O’Neill, who was older by more than two decades. While many commentators have challenged Faludi’s analysis, particularly her suggestion that young feminists are uninterested in questions of inequality and political organizing, most agree that significant tensions exist over the future direction of feminist politics.1 The field of U.S. women’s and gender history emerged out of the women’s movement in the 1960s and has retained close connections to feminism. Yet in recent years the field has not been visibly riven by generational divides. Many trends in twenty-first-century feminist politics are reflected in women’s history scholarship: growing emphases on cul- tural representations and “the body” and a broad agenda in which feminists train their lenses on subjects not associated only—or even primarily—with women.

  • Not Additive, but Transformative: Women and Gender in the Journal of American History
    Not Additive, but Transformative: Women and Gender in the Journal of American History Katherine Turk “Historians, looking at the past, do not see all that is there,” Duke University professor Anne Firor Scott advised the annual meeting of the Organization of American Histo- rians (oah) in 1984. The organization’s seventy-seventh president, but only the second woman to hold that office, Scott used her work in women’s history, then a niche specialty, to make her point. Women’s voluntary associations powered the American economy, stamped the nation’s politics, and solved social problems for centuries, she said. The proof was all over the archives, but because historians “did not expect to find women doing the things they had defined as significant,” they simply did not notice all the evidence to the contrary. To correct such oversight, to make “the historically invisible visible,” Scott said, historians needed to take two steps. First, they had to “call attention to an area of life hitherto ignored,” thus challenging “conventional wisdom.” Second, they needed to make the new subfield essential to scholars’ “general body of knowledge.” Women’s his- tory was taking that second step, she claimed. Thirty-six years later, it still is.1 To mark the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, the Journal of American His- tory ( JAH) has asked me to create a special online issue, gathered from the articles of women’s and gender history it has published since its founding in 1914 as the Mississippi Valley Historical Review (MVHR). A century of scholarship on women and gender offers a road map to the field as it has grown and changed.

BIBLE TRANSLATORS, EDUCATORS, AND SUFFRAGISTS: THE SMITH WOMEN, A NINETEENTH-CENTURY CASE STUDY IN AMERICA ABOUT POWER, AGENCY, AND SUBORDINATION by LAUREL KOONTZ Under the Direction of H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT The methodological approach used to tell the Smith sisters’ story is first and foremost a case study of women in the nineteenth century and the gendered categories that were constructed to define women. The story will be told through a biographical narrative, which will allow Hannah, Julia, and Abby Smith’s to tell their story in their own voice. Also, included within the biography is an examination of the nineteenth-century theories that defined women’s lives, and what effect, if any, these theories had on the Smiths. Each chapter is layered with three different narratives in an attempt to unravel the world that women lived in the nineteenth century.
