Synopsis Women as World Builders by : Floyd Dell

"Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free."Step into the dynamic world of feminist thought with Floyd Dell's seminal work, a cornerstone of feminist literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Delving into the lives and legacies of pioneering figures such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Emmeline Pankhurst, and Jane Addams, Dell's insightful essays offer a comprehensive exploration of modern feminism. From the literary activism of Olive Schreiner to the political fervor of Emma Goldman, Dell examines the diverse contributions of women as architects of social progress and champions of human rights. Through meticulous analysis and passionate advocacy, he highlights the pivotal roles played by figures such as Margaret Dreier Robins, Ellen Key, and others in shaping the feminist movement. This edition, with Dell's timeless essays, underscores the enduring relevance of his work in the contemporary fight for gender equality. Whether you're a seasoned feminist scholar or a newcomer to the field, this book is essential reading for anyone passionate about advancing the cause of women's rights and understanding the multifaceted nature of modern feminism. Floyd Dell, hailed as "one of the most flamboyant, versatile and influential American Men of Letters of the first third of the 20th Century," brings his unique perspective and literary prowess to bear in this compelling collection. His depth of insight and engaging prose make his writings not only informative but also a pleasure to read. In 2015, he was inducted into the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame, solidifying his legacy as a literary luminary. Extract: "But first the explanation of why I, a man, write these articles on feminism. It involves the betrayal of a secret: the secret, that is, of the apparent indifference or even hostility of men toward the woman's movement. The fact is, as has been bitterly recited by the rebellious leaders of their sex, that women have always been what man wanted them to be-have changed to suit his changing ideals. The fact is, furthermore, that the woman's movement of today is but another example of that readiness of women to adapt themselves to a masculine demand. Men are tired of subservient women; or, to speak more exactly, of the seemingly subservient woman who effects her will by stealth-the pretty slave with all the slave's subtlety and cleverness. So long as it was possible for men to imagine themselves masters, they were satisfied. But when they found out that they were dupes, they wanted a change. If only for self-protection, they desired to find in woman a comrade and an equal. In reality they desired it because it promised to be more fun. So that we have as the motive behind the rebellion of women an obscure rebellion of men. Why, then, have men appeared hostile to the woman's rebellion? Because what men desire are real individuals who have achieved their own freedom. It will not do to pluck freedom like a flower and give it to the lady with a polite bow. She must fight for it."

Synopsis Intertwined Lives by : Lois W. Banner

A uniquely revealing biography of two eminent twentieth century American women. Close friends for much of their lives, Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead met at Barnard College in 1922, when Mead was a student, Benedict a teacher. They became sexual partners (though both married), and pioneered in the then male-dominated discipline of anthropology. They championed racial and sexual equality and cultural relativity despite the generally racist, xenophobic, and homophobic tenor of their era. Mead’s best-selling Coming of Age in Samoa (1928) and Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies (1935), and Benedict’s Patterns of Culture (1934), Race (1940), and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (1946), were landmark studies that ensured the lasting prominence and influence of their authors in the field of anthropology and beyond. With unprecedented access to the complete archives of the two women—including hundreds of letters opened to scholars in 2001—Lois Banner examines the impact of their difficult childhoods and the relationship between them in the context of their circle of family, friends, husbands, lovers, and colleagues, as well as the calamitous events of their time. She shows how Benedict inadvertently exposed Mead to charges of professional incompetence, discloses the serious errors New Zealand anthropologist Derek Freeman made in his famed attack on Mead’s research on Samoa, and reveals what happened in New Guinea when Mead and colleagues engaged in a ritual aimed at overturning all gender and sexual boundaries. In this illuminating and innovative work, Banner has given us the most detailed, balanced, and informative portrait of Mead and Benedict—individually and together—that we have had.

Synopsis Fallen Among Reformers by : Professor Janet Lee

‘Fallen Among Reformers’ focuses on Stella Miles Franklin’s New Woman protest literature written during her time in Chicago with the National Women’s Trade Union League (1906-1915). This time away from literary pursuits enriched Franklin’s literary productivity and provided a feminist social justice ethics, which shaped her writing. Close readings of Franklin’s (mostly unpublished) short stories, plays, and novels contextualises them in the personal politics of her everyday life and historicises them in the socio-economic and literary realities of early twentieth-century Australia and United States: themes embedded in broader cultural patterns of socialism, pacifism, and feminism.
