Virginia C. Gildersleeve was the most influential dean of Barnard
College, which she led from 1911 to 1947. An organizer of the Seven
College Conference, or "Seven Sisters," she defended women's
intellectual abilities and the value of the liberal arts. She also
amassed a strong set of foreign policy credentials and, at the peak
of her prominence in 1945, served as the sole woman member of the
U.S. delegation to the drafting of the United Nations Charter. But
her accomplishments are undercut by other factors: she had a
reputation for bias against Jewish applicants for admission to
Barnard and early in the 1930s voiced an indulgent view of the Nazi
regime. In this biography, historian Nancy Woloch explores
Gildersleeve's complicated career in academia and public life. At
once a privileged insider, prone to elitism and insularity, and a
perpetual outsider to the sexist establishment in whose ranks she
sought to ascend, Gildersleeve stands out as richly contradictory.
The book examines her initiatives in higher education, her savvy
administration, her strategies for gaining influence in academic
life, the ways that she acquired and deployed expertise, and her
drive to take part in the world of foreign affairs. Woloch draws
out her ambivalent stance in the women's movement, concerned with
women's status but opposed to demands for equal rights. Tracing
resonant themes of ambition, competition, and rivalry, The Insider
masterfully weaves Gildersleeve's life into the histories of
education, international relations, and feminism.

A Class by Herself explores the historical role and influence of
protective legislation for American women workers, both as a step
toward modern labor standards and as a barrier to equal rights.
Spanning the twentieth century, the book tracks the rise and fall
of women-only state protective laws--such as maximum hour laws,
minimum wage laws, and night work laws--from their roots in
progressive reform through the passage of New Deal labor law to the
feminist attack on single-sex protective laws in the 1960s and
1970s. Nancy Woloch considers the network of institutions that
promoted women-only protective laws, such as the National
Consumers' League and the federal Women's Bureau; the global
context in which the laws arose; the challenges that proponents
faced; the rationales they espoused; the opposition that evolved;
the impact of protective laws in ever-changing circumstances; and
their dismantling in the wake of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. Above all, Woloch examines the constitutional conversation
that the laws provoked--the debates that arose in the courts and in
the women's movement. Protective laws set precedents that led to
the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and to current labor law; they
also sustained a tradition of gendered law that abridged
citizenship and impeded equality for much of the century. Drawing
on decades of scholarship, institutional and legal records, and
personal accounts, A Class by Herself sets forth a new narrative
about the tensions inherent in women-only protective labor laws and
their consequences.

articles. She received an average of 175,000 letters a year while
she served as first lady and delivered more than 75 speeches a
year. Organized into sections like by sections like Becoming
Eleanor Roosevelt, On Women, Diversity and Democracy, and the UN
and Human Rights, In Her Words: Eleanor Roosevelt collects the most

Hickock and others, and witty self-help. Illustrated with dozens of
photographs and documents, this is the perfect gift for history
buffs, feminist, social activists, and anyone who is curious about
