The history of major nationwide women's organizations in the
postwar era provides important insight into American feminism.
While they were challenged by a conservative political climate,
these large groups remained vibrant and prepared the ground for
liberal activism to flourish in the 1960s. With women as the vast
majority of nurses, the American Nurses Association discovered that
it could not promote better nursing and improved working conditions
without elevating the status of women workers and without
addressing the issue of racism within health care. The American
Association of University Women aimed to provide a place for
educated women in public life. It could not provide such a place
while discriminating on the basis of race. The sorority Alpha Kappa
Alpha aimed to elevate the black race and believed that women were
the key to doing so. Church Women United fought against racial and
gender discrimination within the churches and society at large
because such behavior did not fit the ideals of Christian conduct.
