Women reformers in the United States and Germany maintained a brisk
dialogue between 1885 and 1933. Drawing on one another's expertise,
they sought to alleviate a wide array of social injustices
generated by industrial capitalism, such as child labor and the
exploitation of women in the workplace. This book presents and
interprets documents from that exchange, most previously unknown to
historians, which show how these interactions reflected the
political cultures of the two nations.
On both sides of the Atlantic, women reformers pursued social
justice strategies. The documents discussed here reveal the
influence of German factory legislation on debates in the United
States, point out the differing contexts of the suffrage movement,
compare pacifist and antipacifist reactions of women to World War
I, and trace shifts in the feminist movements of both countries
after the war.
Social Justice Feminists in the United States and Germany
provides insight into the efforts of American and German women over
half a century of profound social change. Through their dialogue,
these women explicate their larger political cultures and the place
they occupied in them.
