- W2007372776 abstract "Jan Doolittle Wilson's book is a solidly crafted and original contribution to the history of U.S. women's reform and the study of U.S. social policy. It offers an in-depth analysis of the legislative debates over the Sheppard-Towner Bill and the child labor amendment, two of the most important pieces of social welfare legislation in the 1920s; and its authoritative account of the origins, goals, and influence of the Women's Joint Congressional Committee (WJCC) raises significant questions about the changing nature of women's political citizenship and power before and after suffrage. In short, Wilson's study should be considered a major addition not only to women's history, but also to what Meg Jacobs and Julian Zelizer trumpet as the “new political history.” Wilson's story of the rise and fall of the WJCC, the formidable national organization that coordinated women's lobbying efforts throughout the 1920s, confirms the now standard view that women's political activism did not come to an abrupt end with the passage of the suffrage amendment. Set up in 1920 by Maud Wood Park, the president of the League of Women Voters, the WJCC had considerable success, Wilson argues, in advancing the legislative goals of social feminists in the early 1920s. Their success rested in part on their skillful navigation of the dilemmas women reformers faced in the political culture of the 1920s. Separate-sex women's reform organizations, deriving their political authority from maternalist claims, encountered increased public skepticism. Many now expected women to adopt the same political practices as men: that is, to advance their political claims through partisan politics. Yet women who turned to party politics found their power sorely circumscribed. The women who founded the WJCC recognized this new political context. The umbrella structure and open membership policy of the WJCC, Wilson explains, “provided for coordinated legislative efforts reminiscent of the suffrage movement, while it permitted diversity of political interest among its members” (p. 19). Thus, the WJCC hoped to maximize the power of women's separate political culture without discouraging women's partisan participation." @default.
