Description

Looking at both the private and public lives of men and women in rural and urban Kansas, Michael Lewis Goldberg offers sweeping evidence of the role gender played in influencing Gilded Age politics. In An Army of Women, he analyzes how political activists in the Populist Party and the Woman Movement sought to create a role for women at the same time as retaining the strengthen of men. When these activists employed the incessantly slippery symbols of masculinity and femininity, they found that gendered meanings incessantly changed with the shifting political context. Their ideas and assumptions about gender helped decide their ideologies, strategies, the fate of their movements, and their have an effect on on American politics. Goldberg’s broad scope and use of both traditional and extraordinary sources―including folkways, poems, songs, and novels―allow readers to bear in mind the movements both as a part of a national framework and within the context of the state and local cultures that were their number one concern.
