Acknowledgments
The act of writing a book is far more a collective undertaking than I understood when I first began this project. I have gained enormously from being part of a network of scholars and friends, and I want to thank the following people for their contributions to this work. Joanne Meyerowitz's comments helped me sharpen and refine a portion of my argument in a critical way at an important stage in the development of this book. One part of this manuscript appeared as "Gender and PostWorld War II Progressive Politics: A Bridge to Social Activism of the Late 1960s in the USA" in Gender and History 4 (1992), and in the process I benefited greatly from Nancy Hewitt's editorial assistance, as well as from readings by Charles Payne, Steven F. Lawson, and one anonymous reader. Several people read the entire manuscript at various stages and provided invaluable critiques. They include Estelle Freedman, Susan Hartmann, Sorca O'Connor, and Leila Rupp. In addition, a number of people read parts of the manuscript and gave thoughtful comments, including Sue Cobble, Dana Frank, Dee Garrison, Paula Giddings, Peggy Pascoe, Kathryn Kish Sklar, Linda Schott, and Mary Trigg. When this study was first taking shape as a dissertation, I received both emotional support and thoughtful criticism from members of the Women's History Dissertation Reading Group at Stanford, which included Sue Cobble, Liz Cohen, Gary Goodman, Yukiko Hanawa, Susan Johnson, Valerie Matsumoto, Peggy Pascoe, Penny Russell, Linda Schott, and Frances Taylor.
Librarians and archivists have also provided unstintingly of both time and information during the course of my research. I would especially like to thank Jack Sutters, archivist at the American Friends Service

Committee office in Philadelphia, and Elizabeth Norris, archivist and librarian at the office of the National Board of the YWCA of the U.S.A. in New York; both guided me through their collections, answered many questions, and provided me with missing bits of data when I was far from their collections. Jim Knox, American history bibliographer at the Stanford University Libraries, also helped immeasurably in the preliminary stages of this project.
I am grateful for support I received along the way from a variety of institutions. A position as visiting scholar for the Laurie New Jersey Chair in Women's Studies at Douglass College of Rutgers University provided me with time to work on the manuscript as well as the enriching experience of working closely with Paula Giddings, participating in a stimulating seminar on "Women, Race, and Reform," and meeting a number of participants in the vital network of women's history scholars at Rutgers. Other support came from a University of Dayton Research Council Award; a National Endowment for the Humanities Travel to Collections Grant; a Truman Fellowship from the University of Missouri, St. Louis; and a Woodrow Wilson Research Grant in Women's Studies.
