American feminism has always been about more than the struggle for individual rights and equal treatment with men. Theres also a vital and continuing tradition of womens reform that sought social as well as individual rights and argued for the dismantling of the masculine standard. In this much anticipated book, Dorothy Sue Cobble retrieves the forgotten feminism of the previous generations of working women, illuminating the ideas that inspired them and the reforms they secured from employers and the state. This socially and ethnically diverse movement for change emerged first from union halls and factory floors and spread to the pink collar domain of telephone operators, secretaries, and airline hostesses. From the 1930s to the 1980s, these women pursued answers to problems that are increasingly pressing today: how to balance work and family and how to address the growing economic inequalities that confront us.The Other Womens Movementtraces their impact from the 1940s into the feminist movement of the present.
The labor reformers whose stories are told inThe Other Womens Movementwanted equality and special benefits, and they did not see the two as incompatible. They argued that gender differences must be accommodated and that equality could not always be achieved by applying an identical standard of treatment to men and women. The reform agenda they championed--an end to unfair sex discrimination, just compensation for their waged labor, and the right to care for their families and communities--launched a revolution in employment practices that carries on today.
Unique in its range and perspective, this is the first book to link the continuous tradition of social feminism to the leadership of labor women within that movement.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

LET ME ACKNOWLEDGE here the many debts I have accumulated in the writing of this book. Ruth Milkman, David Brody, Alice Kessler-Harris, Ava Baron, and Eileen Boris provided crucial encouragement in the early unsteady stages of this project. My longbut never quite long enoughresearch stints at various archives were eased by the assistance of able and hospitable staff. Lynn Bonfield and Susan Sherwood at the Labor Archives and Research Center, San Francisco State University; Mike Smith and Tom Featherstone at the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in Detroit; Jane LaTour at the Tamiment Institute, New York; Pete Hoeffer at the George Meany Memorial Archives; and Kathy Kraft at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University, deserve special mention. Teresa Poor and Haejin Kim, two graduate students in Labor and Employment Relations at Rutgers University, rescued me from some of the most painstaking of the early research endeavors. Haejin unfurled raft after raft of copies of the Packinghouse Workers newspaper for me to read at my leisure. Teresa culled through the CIO News and other labor papers with an eye ever alert to articles on women or womens issues. Her masters thesis on the Womens Auxiliary of the Typographical Workers Union also proved to be another delightful collaboration and an excuse for us to catch happy hour at the Frog and Peach.

Way before I was ready, I visited versions of my arguments on audiences at the Rutgers University Center for the Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture, where I was a fellow, and in seminars held by the History Department and the Labor Studies and Employment Relations Department at Rutgers. I also benefited from delivering portions of my research to groups at York University, McMaster University, Smith College, University of Illinois in Champaign, University of Nevada in Las Vegas, University of Pittsburgh, University of California at Berkeley, and University of California at Los Angeles. Ruth Gilmore, Dan Horowitz, Kim Voss, Craig Heron, Bettina Bradbury, Julie Guard, Linda Briskin, and Maurine Greenwald deserve to be singled out for their hospitality and their critical engagement with the project as it visited their campuses.
