Page ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout all the phases of research, writing, and revision of this book, I have received the help and support of many people. I am extremely grateful to Sarah Stage, a superb teacher and advisor, for her penetrating criticism, intellectual guidance, and constant words of encouragement. I owe her a great debt, for she has always been unfailingly generous in sharing with me her deep understanding of women's history. I also owe a large debt to Susan Porter Benson for her enthusiasm and words of advice, and to Clarice Feinman for her interest and help at two stages of the project. In addition, I thank Estelle B. Freedman, Leila Rupp, and a group of thoughtful graduate students in women's history at The Ohio State University for reading and commenting on different portions of the manuscript. All these scholars have helped me to sharpen my thinking. I am grateful to my editor, Janet Francendese, for her hours of work on this book. Her kindness and sense of humor are wonderful. Many thanks, too, to Debby Stuart, a tireless copy editor who made many excellent suggestions. This book would have been greatly impoverished without the generosity, kindness, and support of George and Helene Staininger. They warmly welcomed me into their home day after day, allowed me unrestricted access to their much-cherished private collection of documents and pictures, talked with me freely about their memories, and wished me well at every step. I will always be thankful to them.
