{"product_id":"white-womens-rights-louise-michele-newman-9780195086928","title":"White Women's Rights: The Racial Origins of Feminism in the United States","description":"This study reinterprets a crucial period (1870s-1920s) in the history of women's rights, focusing attention on a core contradiction at the heart of early feminist theory. At a time when white elites were concerned with imperialist projects and civilizing missions, progressive white women developed an explicit racial ideology to promote their cause, defending patriarchy for \"primitives\" while calling for its elimination among the \"civilized.\" By exploring how progressive white women at the turn of the century laid the intellectual groundwork for the feminist social movements that followed, Louise Michele Newman speaks directly to contemporary debates about the effect of race on current feminist scholarship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWhite Women's Rights\u003c\/em\u003e is an important book. It is a fascinating and informative account of the numerous and complex ties which bound feminist thought to the practices and ideas which shaped and gave meaning to America as a racialized society. A compelling read, it moves very gracefully between the general history of the feminist movement and the particular histories of individual women.\"--Hazel Carby, Yale University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Michele Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195086929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195086928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.28w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1999 pg. 166","brand":"Louise Michele Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119404216575,"sku":"9780195086928","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_624f0818-5d31-4fd6-83ed-9a6ae9ee3578.jpg?v=1687409171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-womens-rights-louise-michele-newman-9780195086928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
