The exploratory discussions I had on this topic with Harriet Whitehead were fo llowed by more fo rmal conversations with Susan Griffin, Shirley Johnson, Marcia Kallen, and Ina Jane Wundrum. Their advice was essential to the first fo rmulations of a research design, as were the comments and suggestions of therapists, attorneys, researchers, and community service providers whom I talked with early on. Among those who contributed in this way are Alice Abarbanel, Roberta Achtenberg, Susan Bender, Ricki Boden, Barbara Bryant, Christa Donaldson, Renee Epstein, Marilyn Fabe, Ann Garrett, Sherry Glucoft, Margo Hagaman, Carol Hastie, Donna Hitchens, Sheila Israel, Carol Jausch, Katy King, Camille LeGrand, Jill Lippett, Phyllis Lyon, Janice Macombers, Del Martin, Sandra Meyers, Mary Morgan, Byron Nestor, Pat Norman, Saralie Pen­ nington, Cheri Pies, Barbara Price, Sue Saperstein, Donna Scott, John Sikorski, the late Fay Stender, Sarita Waite, Norma Wikler, and Yvette Williams. A meeting early in the project with Mary Jo Risher and Ann Foreman clarified my understanding of the long-term im­ pact of custody litigation on lesbian mothers' lives. Most vital to the completion of this very lengthy project were the 135 mothers who opened up their lives to me, taking hours to share their experiences and their fe elings with little indication ofhow these confidences would be employed. I cannot acknowledge them by name, but I hope they will find something in this volume that will compensate them fo r the time they devoted to telling me about them­ selves. [ix) [ x] Acknowledgments The work ofTerrie A. Lyons as research associate was fu ndamental to the successful design of the study and collection of data. I have benefited enormously fr om conversations with her about the inter­ pretation of the findings and was constantly challenged by the clinical perspective she brought to her understanding of the mothers' lives and decisions. Colleagues and staff at the University of California, San Francisco, and at other Bay Area institutions made tremendous contributions to this project. Victoria Peguillan and Sheryl Ruzek contributed to the preparation of the original proposal, along with staff members at Scientific Analysis Corporation in San Francisco. Betty Kalis was invaluable to the project as a consultant during the preparation of the interview schedule. Beverly Cubbage, Barbara Jordan, and Andrea Temkin had the major responsibility fo r the transcription of the inter­ views, aided by other staff fr om the Medical Anthropology Program and the University clerical pool. As the project continued, Linnea Klee and Judith Barker served very ably as research assistants. Alan Bostrom trained project staff in the use of SPSS. Margaret Clark, Carol McClain, Ann W. Merrill, Virginia Olesen, and Harry F. Todd, Jr. , provided advice and encour­ agement. When I began this project, oth�r research efforts in related areas were beginning as well. There was a tremendous amount of sharing among those of us who were undertaking this work, and our interac­ tions were remarkably fr ee of competitive fe elings. Those whose collegiality I especially appreciated were Beverly Hoeffe r, Mary Hot­ vedt, Martha Kirkpatrick, Jane Mandel, and Daniel Ostrow. The preparation of this book in its final fo rm owes an immeasur­ able debt to those colleagues and friends who spent many hours reading, evaluating, and criticizing the various drafts of the manu­ script. I thank especially Mary Anglin, Melinda Cuthbert, Julie Hemker, Lois Helmbold, Kathleen Jones, Esther Newton, and Wen­ dy Sarvasy fo r the important contributions they made to this work. I also thank Earl Klee fo r his useful suggestions in regard to Chapter 9. An earlier version of Chapter 8 appeared in Uncertain Te rms: Nego­ tiating Gender in American Culture, edited by Faye Ginsburg and Anna Acknowledgments [xi] Tsing; their insightful comments while I was preparing that paper were enormously helpful to me as I returned to the larger project of this book. I thank them and Beacon Press fo r permission to use the material here. I also presented portions of the book at a Wenner-Gren symposium on th e politics of reproduction in November 1991. The critiques of all the symposium participants, but especially those of Rosalind Pollack Petchesky and Shellee Colen, and of the organizers, Rayna Rapp and Faye Ginsburg, were central to the thinking I have done since then in trying to understand what I have accomplished in this project and what I need to do next. Carole Browner read the penultimate version of the manuscript with great care. She has known me so long that she knows what I mean to say when even I'm not sure, so she was often able to help me unravel my most wayward sentences. Most particularly, I acknowledge the meticulous com­ ments Kath Weston offered on the entire manuscript in its final stages; her eye fo r detail and her clear understanding of what I was really trying to achieve prevented me fr om losing track of my own objec­ tives. As series editor, Roger Sanjek has been consistently supportive, offering incisive comments even as he must have wondered whether I was ever going to finish. Peter Agree, of Cornell University Press, has been cheerful and encouraging throughout the preparation of the book and I am grateful fo r his patience. This project could never have been completed without the support of the National Institute of Mental Health (Grant MH-30980) and the Rockefeller Foundation Gender Roles Program. Also essential to its completion have been the support and encouragement of valued friends: Dennis DeBiase, Mary L. Hackney, Ann W. Merrill, Esther Newton, the late Barbara Rosenblum, and Helene Wenzel. I thank them fo r their confidence in me and their willingness to challenge me during my many bouts of anxiety and self-doubt. Most particularly, I owe a boundless debt to Liz Goodman, whose resilience has never wavered and whose ability to shore up my sagging spirits has been without limits. ELLEN LEWIN San Francisco, California Prologue Whenever people learn that most of my work concerns mothers and mother­ hood, they have one predictable question: Am I a mother? Learning that I'm not leads to fu rther questions. If my interest in mothers does not come fr om personal experience, then surely I must be drawn to study mothers either because I'm trying to decide whether to become one or (increasingly the assumption as I have advanced in age) because my research fo cus represents a way to compensate fo r losing my chance to be a mother. When I reveal my devotion to teaching and the pleasure I take in working with young people, these same inquisitors are convinced that they have located yet more evidence that I need to resolve my nonmaternal state. My students (and very likely my many cats, as well) are obvious child surrogates. But a desire to be a mother is not what drives my work. I have never wished to be a mother and have little firsthandexperience with small children. My fe elings about motherhood when I began to study it were not unlike th ose of any other anthropologist encountering a strange and temporarily opaque local custom. An incident that occurred while I was conducting fieldwork with Latina im migrants in San Francisco illustrates the abyss that I perceived between myself and women who were mothers. I was visiting with one of my informants, a young mother of three, recently arrived fr om Mexico. Several ofher relatives were gathered in her home, all women in their twenties (as I was at the time) and all mothers.

Kolar ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I began my master’s program rigidly opposed to writing a thesis. Who in their right mind would put themselves through such insanity, I often wondered when speaking with fellow graduate students pursuing such a goal. I realize now, that to commit to such a task, is to succumb to a wild obsession. After completing the paper assignment for my Historical Research and Writing class, I was in far too deep to ever turn back. In this section, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the following individuals who followed me through this obsession and made sure I came out on the other side. First, I need to thank fellow history graduate student, Ricky Pugh, for his remarkable sleuthing skills in tracking down invaluable issues of The Ladder and Sisters. His assistance saved this project in more ways than I can list. Thank-you to my second reader, Dr. Kelly Kolar, whose sharp humor and unyielding encouragement assisted me not only through this thesis process, but throughout my entire graduate school experience. To Dr. Susan Myers- Shirk, who painstakingly wielded this project from its earliest stage as a paper for her Historical Research and Writing class to the final product it is now, I am eternally grateful.

  • Beyond the Domestic/Public Dichotomy
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Arts and Sciences 34 (1993) 65-73. C The Hitotsubashi Academy BEYOND THE DOMESTIC/PUBLIC DICHOTOMY : PROBLEMS AND NEW DIRECTIONS MAKIKO T. HANAMI The Domestic/Public Dichotomy Nearly twenty years ago, in a work that has become a landmark in women's studies by female anthropologists. Michelle Rosaldo proposed a dichotomy between a "domestic" orientation in women and a "public" orientation in men as a theoretical framework to anal- yze the universal position of women. In the theoretical overview of the book Woman. Culture, and Society (Rosaldo & Lamphere 1 974), Rosaldo accounted for the difference between the sexes in terms of this dichotomy by stating that there is a world-wide asymmetry of gender-identified activities: women's activities tended to be undervalued compared to those of their sexual counterpart and men were recognized as having culturally legitimated authority over women. By her definition, "domestic" meant "those minimal institutions and modes of activity that are organized immediately around one or more mothers and their children," and the "public" referred to "activities, institutions, and forms of association that link, rank, organize, or subsume particular mother-chi]d groups" (Rosaldo 1974: 23). She hypothesized that women are primarily involved in "domestic" relations and activities, while men are free to form broader associations in the public domain. Women are bound to the "enduring, time- consuming and emotionally-compelling" commitment as exemplified in a mother's relation with her infant child, whereas men can keep their distance from the "messiness" of domestic life, and engage themselves in the hierarchical, political world.

    Interview with Louise Lamphere Interviewer: Amy Goldstein Date: May 30, 2014 Location: Washington, D.C. Transcribed by Leigh Thomas and Bennett Knox *Notes in brackets were added by Louise Lamphere after the interview* Amy Goldstein: So, I’m going to ask you just to start by identifying yourself. Louise Lamphere: I’m Louise Lamphere. I’m a retired Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. And I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, split my time between that and New York City. Goldstein: And you had a role at Brown? Lamphere: Oh yes. And I was at Brown. I started teaching there in 1968. Left because I didn’t get tenure in 1975. And returned after my lawsuit in ‘79. Stayed until 1985. I had a year’s leave then [1985-86] but didn’t resign until ‘86. Goldstein: Okay, so now that we’ve done the synopsis, we’re going to take the slow story [laughs]. Lamphere: Okay [laughs]. Goldstein: So I’m wondering if you can start by just talking a little bit about the kind of environment you grew up in. Was there any activism in your home when you were a kid? Lamphere: Well, I come from a staunch Republican family in the state of Colorado. I grew up in Denver, Colorado. My mother’s family—her, both of her parents were German-American in sort of heritage. And my grandmother was born in Golden in 1885; she was part of the German community there, the same community that Coors came from. And my grandfather was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, but came to Colorado when he was five.

  • 'Anthropologists Are Talking' About Feminist Anthropology
    ‘Anthropologists Are Talking’ About Feminist Anthropology he series ‘Anthropologists Are Talking’ is a roundtable feature in which anthropologists talk candidly and spontaneously about issues Tof relevance to the discipline. The aim of the series is to reflect the kinds of conversations we all have (or wish we had) with colleagues — the fun and engaging ones in which we recount, joke, agree, dispute and formulate part of a broader vision of what anthropology is or could be. This conversation was held to mark the fact that the two landmark books in feminist anthropology, Woman, Culture and Society, edited by Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo and Louise Lamphere, and Toward an Anthropology of Women, edited by Rayna R. Reiter (later Rapp) had celebrated their 30 year anniversaries in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Former Ethnos editor Don Kulick asked two of the books’ editors and the author of one of the most celebrated articles to appear in one of them to talk about the history of the volumes, about what happened next, and about their sense of feminist anthropology today. The participants are: louise lamphere Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the Uni- versity of New Mexico and past President of the American Anthropological Association. Louise has studied issues of women and work for 20 years, beginning with her book on women workers in Rhode Island industry, From Working Daughters to Working Mothers (1987). Among her other books are Sunbelt Working Mothers: Reconciling Family and Factory (1993, coauthored with Patricia Zavella, Felipe Gonzales and Peter Evans), and Situated Lives: Gender and Culture in Everyday Life (1997, co-edited with Helena Ragoné and Patricia Zavella).

  • “A Fully Formed Blast from Abroad?”: Australasian Lesbian Circuits of Mobility and the Transnational Exchange of Ideas in the 1960S and 1970S
    “A fully formed blast from abroad?”: Australasian lesbian circuits of mobility and the transnational exchange of ideas in the 1960s and 1970s In 1973, three Australian women – Kerryn Higgs, Robina Courtin and Jenny Pausacker – returned to Melbourne having spent two years in London. Later the same year, New Zealander Alison Laurie arrived home after a nine-year stint overseas, which included periods of time living in England, Scandinavia and the USA. The return of all four had a catalytic effect on lesbian politics in their home communities. Pausacker, Higgs and Courtin were credited with precipitating a physical and ideological shift away from mixed gay politics toward a feminist perspective on lesbianism. With Laurie’s arrival it appeared that “lesbian feminism hit Aotearoa New Zealand as a fully formed blast from abroad, but fell on fertile ground, among many of the lesbians from gay liberation for starters.”1 Contemporary accounts certainly present the return of all four women as agents of change. To a certain extent their impact can be explained by the personalities of the women themselves. All were intelligent, creative women who continued to shape ideas throughout their lives. As Jenny Pausacker noted: “Kerryn published the first lesbian novel for adults in Australia. I published the first lesbian novel for young adults in Australia, and Robina’s the venerable Robina [a Buddhist nun]. So we were all quite strong personalities, with quite a public focus.”2 Laurie co-founded Sisters for Homophile Equality (SHE) which was the first lesbian organization in Aotearoa New Zealand, pioneered the Lesbian Community Radio Programme on Wellington Access Radio, and brought lesbian studies into the Women’s Studies program at Victoria University in Wellington.3 However, the impact the four women had can also be traced to their respective experiences of travel.
