Description
Analyzes Marian P. Whitney as a Progressive Era reformer who utilized the tools available to effect reforms and create pathways to international peace in the early twentieth century.
Sheryl Gordon uses Whitney's life and work to shed light on the power of fatherhood at the time as Whitney accessed power through her dad, tensions between Progressivism and Professionalism, and connections between Progressivism and popular culture. Overlooked in scholarship, Whitney played a significant role in effecting legal, economic, social, and cultural reforms to minimize causes for war and maximize international understandings. She was actively involved in national and international women's rights and educational causes, while holding leadership positions in a number of organizations. Whitney's contributions to the suffrage movement, international peace movement, and academia are examined in-depth here for the first time. This book provides the personal and larger societal and historical context for Whitney's initial professional and progressive influences. It introduces Marian P. Whitney to readers across disciplines.
