Описание:
Women Will Vote celebrates the 2017 centenary of women’s right to full suffrage in New York State. Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello highlight the activism of rural, urban, African American, Jewish, immigrant, and European American women, as well as male suffragists, both upstate and downstate, that led to the positive outcome of the 1917 referendum. Goodier and Pastorello argue that the popular nature of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State and the resounding success of the referendum at the polls relaunched suffrage as a national issue. If women had failed to gain the vote in New York, Goodier and Pastorello claim, there is good reason to believe that the passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment would have been delayed.
Women Will Vote makes clear how actions of New York’s patchwork of suffrage advocates heralded a gigantic political, social, and legal shift in the United States. Readers will discover that although these groups did not always collaborate, by working in their own ways toward the goal of enfranchising women they essentially formed a coalition. Together, they created a diverse social and political movement that did not rely solely on the motivating force of white elites and a leadership based in New York City. Goodier and Pastorello convincingly argue that the agitation and organization that led to New York women’s victory in 1917 changed the course of American history.

Three groundbreaking secular Jews, women's historian Gerda Lerner, feminist Surrealist artist Susana Wald, and global ambassador Ruth W. Messinger, respond with Jewish universal values to conflicts worldwide, from the Nazi Holocaust to 21st century genocides. What has not been fully recognized is how they wove messages from Exodus and Sinai into the fabric of their careers, sometimes publicly as Jews, sometimes muting Jewish identity. Their lives raise the question: Is simultaneous commitment possible both to Jewish continuity and to helping non-Jewish strangers in need? Their lives illustrate how Jewish particularism exists to teach universalism.
Gerda Lerner, a Holocaust survivor, demonstrated the existence of American women's history, including Black women's history, as academic fields of study. Why did she mute her Jewish identity until the last decades of her career when the first intifada in Israel broke out?
Susana Wald, also a Holocaust survivor, is one among few female Surrealist artists devoted to social change who is not known as "wife of . . ." Why did she mute Jewish identity in Chile, Canada, and Mexico, countries where she promoted her artistic career?
Ruth W. Messinger, social justice politician, the first woman Democrat to run for New York City mayor, served as the publicJewish voice of American Jewish World Service through the first decades of the 21st century. How did she expand the Jewish universe of obligation to include non-Jews in crisis around the world?
For Jews and non-Jews, this book illuminates how universal values drive three women to become public about Jewish identity because they view the purpose of Jewish life to be alleviating inequity and suffering of all people.
