Document Summary
Guided reading questions: what are some challenges of organizing and mobilizing as feminists: newman, jacquetta and linda white. (2006/2013). Waves eroding the shores of male domination: women"s struggles, politics, and movements. Not until the late 19th century that a self-conscious and feminist women"s movement appeared as a distinct entity in north america. Women were not seen as public persons in their own right in either the legal or political sphere (assumption that they were their husband"s property) Conservative wave- majority of women activists accepted the private/public division. Women organizations focused their energies on the moral issues surrounding the family. Charity was a significant feature, associations for churches. These clubs and groups functioned to bring together women barred from public political and economic work. Also provided a space for women to work for social reform: a reformist impulse in turn brought them political action for suffrage and the right to political participation.
