The Masses was the most dynamic and influential left-wing
magazine of the early twentieth century, a touchstone for
understanding radical thought and social movements in the United
States during that era. As a magazine that supported feminist
issues, it played a crucial role in shaping public discourse about
women's concerns. Women editors, fiction writers, poets, and
activists like Mary Heaton Vorse, Louise Bryant, Adriana Spadoni,
Elsie Clews Parsons, Inez Haynes Gillmore, and Helen Hull
contributed as significantly to the magazine as better-known male
figures.
In this major revisionist work, Margaret C. Jones calls for
reexamination of the relevance of Masses feminism to that of the
1990s. She explores women contributors' perspectives on crucial
issues: patriarchy, birth control, the labor movement, woman
suffrage, pacifism, and ethnicity. The book includes numerous
examples of the writings and visual art of Masses women and a
series of biographical/bibliographical sketches designed to aid
other researchers.
