Now in its third year, the Women and Social Movements in the United States Web site is home to twenty-nine editorial projects designed to make the multiplicity of women's reform activities accessible to scholars, teachers, and students at all levels through the careful presentation of primary documents. Visitors to this site will be immediately impressed by the variety and the range of topics that the site editors, Kathryn Kish Sklar and Thomas Dublin, have made available for our investigation. These include "Male Supporters of Women's Rights in the 1850s," "African-American Women and the Chicago World's Fair," "Southern Women and Antilynching, 18901942," and "Puerto Rican Women Garment Workers and the New Deal, 1933," to name only a few. Attending to differences in women's experiences across region, race, class, and national boundaries, these editorial projects are at the cutting edge of current scholarship in U.S. women's history. Together these projects complement and go beyond many of the essay collections currently used to map and narrativize U.S. women's history in university-level survey courses and college seminars. This editorial project is likely to become a standard and well-used resource for students just beginning to learn the techniques of primary research and teachers surveying the state of the field. |
