Abstract

The Introduction discusses how examining Breckinridge’s life work offers new insight into feminist activism in twentieth-century America. A careful study of Breckinridge’s life and work significantly reshapes our understanding of both the chronology and the contours of U.S. feminism, requiring us to acknowledge the continuity of feminist activism across the Progressive era and the New Deal, rethink the notion of feminist leadership, reevaluate academic endeavors as central to American activism, and recognize the diversity and the interrelatedness of the many issues that women considered “feminist” in modern America. By foregrounding the life and work of this forgotten feminist, my biography of Breckinridge presents a more complete--and more complex--story of women’s activism in modern America. Breckinridge’s lifelong commitment to social activism illuminates American women’s participation in the struggle for social justice both in the United States and beyond its borders.

“一个女人的工作”和“世界的工作”
引言部分讨论了审视布雷肯里奇的生平作品如何为研究20世纪美国的女权主义运动提供了新的视角。仔细研究布雷肯里奇的生活和工作,可以极大地重塑我们对美国女权主义的年代学和轮廓的理解,要求我们承认女权主义活动在进步时代和新政时期的连续性,重新思考女权主义领导的概念,重新评估作为美国激进主义核心的学术努力,并认识到现代美国女性认为“女权主义”的许多问题的多样性和相互关联性。通过突出这位被遗忘的女权主义者的生活和工作,我的布雷肯里奇传记为现代美国女性的行动主义提供了一个更完整、更复杂的故事。布雷肯里奇一生致力于社会活动,这说明美国妇女在美国国内外参与争取社会正义的斗争。
