The war changed forever the face of the nation, the nature of American politics, the status of African-Americans, and the daily lives of millions of people. Yet few of us understand how the war transformed gender roles and attitudes toward sexuality among American citizens.Divided Houses is the first book to address this sorely neglected topic, showing how the themes of gender, class, race, and sexuality interacted to forge the beginnings of a new society.\nIn this unique volume, historians Catherine Clinton and Nina Silber bring together a wide spectrum of critical viewpoints--all written by eminent scholars--to show how gender became a prism through which the political tensions of antebellum America were filtered and focused. For example, Divided Houses demonstrates that the abolitionist movement was strongly allied with nineteenth-century feminism, and shows how the ensuing debates over sectionalism and, eventually, secession, were often couched in terms of gender. Northerners and Southerners alike frequently ridiculed each other as \"effeminate\": slaveowners were characterized by Yankees as idle and useless aristocrats, enfeebled by their \"peculiar institution\"; northerners were belittled as money-grubbers who lacked the masculine courage of their southern counterparts.\nThrough the course of the book, many fascinating subjects are explored, such as the new \"manly\" responsibilities both black and white men had thrust upon them as soldiers; the effect of the war on Southern women's daily actions on the homefront; the essential part Northern women played as nurses and spies; the war's impact on marriage and divorce; women's roles in the guerilla fighting; even the wartime dialogue on interracial sex. There is also a rare look at how gender affected the experience of freedom for African-American children, a discussion of how Harriet Beecher Stowe attempted to distract both her readers and herself from the ravages of war through the writing of romantic fiction, and a consideration of the changing relations between black men and a white society which, during the war, at last forced to confront their manhood. In addition, an incisive introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James McPherson helps place these various subjects in an overall historical context.\nNowhere else are such topics considered in a single, accessible volume. Divided Houses sheds new light on the entire Civil War experience--from its causes to its legacy--and shows how gender shaped both the actions and attitudes of those who participated in this watershed event in the history of America., ISBN13: 9780195074079 ISBN10: 0195074076 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51245095452979,"sku":"05-18-23_PHA_600MMF","price":29.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/41NL-lWHLDL.jpg?v=1753609173"},{"product_id":"sex-money-and-personal-character-in-eighteenth-century-british-politics-the-lewis-walpole-series-in-eighteenth-century-culture-and-history","title":"Sex, Money and Personal Character in Eighteenth-Century British Politics (The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History)","description":"A sophisticated analysis of changing views of political virtue in the 18th century and the origins of the modern dilemma over probity and suitability for high public office\n\nHow, and why, did, ISBN13: 9780300208450 ISBN10: 0300208456 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51246121189683,"sku":"FA_06-11-24_ART_6016YD","price":19.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/719usSM3l5L.jpg?v=1753610853"},{"product_id":"mate-become-the-man-women-want","title":"Mate: Become the Man Women Want","description":"The #1 bestselling pioneer of \"fratire\" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys\n\nWhether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, expert, ISBN13: 9780316375368 ISBN10: 0316375365 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51247130476851,"sku":"FA_06-10-24_ART_3016IA","price":26.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/71GB6ttxfUL.jpg?v=1753615294"},{"product_id":"blood-sisters-the-french-revolution-in-womens-memory","title":"Blood Sisters: The French Revolution In Women's Memory","description":"A look at the women who lived through the French Revolution studies documents by the governess of royal children, the servant attending Marie-Antoinette in her final hours, Robespierre's sist, ISBN13: 9780465092635 ISBN10: 0465092632 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51248880877875,"sku":"09-21-23_PHA_600X76","price":29.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/619Ib7aYViL_28e5d427-21c0-45e0-a831-e0620be13333.jpg?v=1753650842"},{"product_id":"running-on-empty","title":"Running on Empty","description":"Based on her own widely respected book The Indispensable Woman, Ellen Sue Stern has taken the observations and recovery program which made that book so valuable and developed them into a dail, ISBN13: 9780553351491 ISBN10: 0553351494 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51251405914419,"sku":"22.20_3228381_20210911_13429","price":17.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"against-our-will-men-women-and-rape","title":"Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape","description":"Surveys the history of rape in war, riot, and revolution and the origins of American rape laws, examines interracial, homosexual, and child rape, and profiles the police-blotter rapist and re, ISBN13: 9780671220624 ISBN10: 0671220624 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51251938427187,"sku":"CH_12-17-24_ART_301N6B","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/918_GdaxLGL.jpg?v=1753658352"},{"product_id":"in-a-different-voice-psychological-theory-and-women-s-development","title":"In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women’s Development","description":"This is the little book that started a revolution, making women's voices heard, in their own right and with their own integrity, for virtually the first time in social scientific theorizing a, ISBN13: 9780674445444 ISBN10: 0674445449 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51252164100403,"sku":"FA_08-12-24_ART_301E8F","price":11.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/61fO-FyEdlL.jpg?v=1753659745"},{"product_id":"lots-daughters-sex-redemption-and-women-s-quest-for-authority","title":"Lot's Daughters: Sex, Redemption, and Women’s Quest for Authority","description":"Lot's Daughters explores the relationship of fathers and daughters and of older men and younger females in history, life, art, and culture. This ambitious, daringly original book shows how humanity has remembered and been formed by Lot's daughters—how the shocking biblical text describing the crucial relationship between that patriarch and his daughters has haunted the human imagination and shaped history and behavior right down to the present. Robert Polhemus terms this ongoing human drama—the mutual attraction between young females and older males—the \"Lot complex,\" and illustrates his theory with a wide-ranging series of portraits that analyze and dramatize the lives and work of famous men and women who, in very diverse ways, have made the world care more deeply about the destiny of daughters. In witty, probing chapters on an entertaining selection of daughters that includes women as varied as Lewis Carroll's Alice, Shirley Temple, Mia Farrow, and Monica Lewinsky, Polhemus tells the story of men's ambivalent desire for young women and of women's quest for authority.

Regardless of the time and place these women were born each excelled in her respective field, making it easier for the next generation.

Hutchison, a pioneer in her own right, became the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the State of Texas.\nInterspersed with the stories of America's historic female leaders are stories of today's women whose successes are clearly linked to those predecessors.

Drawing upon pioneering research with the children of the gender revolution, Kathleen Gerson reveals that it is not a lack of \"family values,\" but rigid social and economic forces that make it difficult to have a vibrant and committed family and work life.\n\nDespite the entrance of women into the workforce and the blurring of once clearly defined gender boundaries, men and women live in a world where the demands of balancing parenting and work, autonomy and commitment, time and money are left largely unresolved. Gerson finds that while an overwhelming majority of young men and women see an egalitarian balance within committed relationships as the ideal, today's social and economic realities remain based on conventional--and now obsolete--distinctions between breadwinning and caretaking. In this equity vacuum, men and women develop conflicting strategies, with women stressing self-reliance and men seeking a new traditionalism.\n\nWith compassion for all perspectives, Gerson argues that whether one decides to give in to traditionally imbalanced relationships or to avoid marriage altogether, these approaches are second-best responses, not personal preferences or inherent attributes, and they will shift if new options can be created to help people achieve their egalitarian aspirations. The Unfinished Revolution offers clear recommendations for the kinds of workplace and community changes that would best bring about a more egalitarian family life--a new flexibility at work and at home that benefits families, encourages a thriving economy, and helps women and men integrate love and work.\n\nPraise for the Hardcover:\n\n\"Over the past three decades, social change has blown apart the old-fashioned ideal of the nuclear family--and Gerson has set out to map where the pieces have landed.\"\n--New York Post\n\n\"Valuable for the abundance and candor of the testimony from this unmoored generation pioneering through radically altered conceptions of personal and professional life.\"\n--Publishers Weekly\n\n\"This is not a battle that can be won with legal challenges or legislation. Yes, it would undoubtedly be greatly aided by the passage of major social policies such as universal child care. But at its core, this is a fight that plays out within homes and between partners. And as Gerson's research makes clear, the fight has not changed all that dramatically in the past 30 years.\" --The American Prospect, ISBN13: 9780199783328 ISBN10: 0199783322 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732912046387,"sku":"CH_03-21-25_ART_200002L8","price":16.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/61YD6_-ZNZL.jpg?v=1753609577"},{"product_id":"texas-through-womens-eyes-the-twentieth-century-experience-louann-atkins-temple-women-culture-series","title":"Texas Through Women's Eyes: The Twentieth-Century Experience (Louann Atkins Temple Women \u0026 Culture Series)","description":"Winner, Liz Carpenter Award For Research in the History of Women, Texas State Historical Association, 2010\nTexas women broke barriers throughout the twentieth century, winning the right to vote, expanding their access to higher education, entering new professions, participating fully in civic and political life, and planning their families. Yet these major achievements have hardly been recognized in histories of twentieth-century Texas. By contrast, Texas Through Women's Eyes offers a fascinating overview of women's experiences and achievements in the twentieth century, with an inclusive focus on rural women, working-class women, and women of color.\nMcArthur and Smith trace the history of Texas women through four eras. They discuss how women entered the public sphere to work for social reforms and the right to vote during the Progressive era (1900–1920); how they continued working for reform and social justice and for greater opportunities in education and the workforce during the Great Depression and World War II (1920–1945); how African American and Mexican American women fought for labor and civil rights while Anglo women laid the foundation for two-party politics during the postwar years (1945–1965); and how second-wave feminists (1965–2000) promoted diverse and sometimes competing goals, including passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, reproductive freedom, gender equity in sports, and the rise of the New Right and the Republican party., ISBN13: 9780292723030 ISBN10: 0292723032 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732946911539,"sku":"S_H0000E27","price":20.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/81HX4WA9B4L.jpg?v=1753610367"},{"product_id":"the-face-that-launched-a-thousand-lawsuits-the-american-women-who-forged-a-right-to-privacy-yale-law-library-series-in-legal-history-and-reference","title":"The Face That Launched a Thousand Lawsuits: The American Women Who Forged a Right to Privacy (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference)","description":"A compelling account of how women shaped the common law right to privacy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\n\nDrawing on a wealth of original research, Jessica Lake documents how the advent of photography and cinema drove women—whose images were being taken and circulated without their consent—to court.

He brings to the men's movement a new kind of practical wisdom that should help both men and women.”—John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming\n\nHow does one become a “real man”? By joining a fraternity? Getting a letter in football? Conquering a lot of women? Making a lot of money?\n\nWith traditional notions of manhood under attack, today's men (and women) are looking for a new vision of masculinity. In this groundbreaking book, Sam Keen offers an inspiring guide for men seeking new personal ideals of strength, potency, and warrior-ship in their lives.\n\nWhat does it really mean to be a man? Fire in the Belly answers that question by daringly confronting outdated models that impoverish, injure, and alienate men. It shows instead how men can find their own path to understanding the unique mysteries of being male and in the process rediscover a new vitality and virility that will energize every aspect of their lives. Here is a look at men at work, at play, at war, and in love, moving from brokenness to wholeness and building nurturing, satisfying relationships with one another, their mates, and their families.\n\nAt no time in history have there been so many men looking for new roles, new attitudes, and new ways of being. In this powerful and empowering book, author Sam Keen retells for modern times the ancient story of the search for what it means to be a man—a man with fire in his belly and passion in his heart.\n\n“This book taught me things i didn't know, thawed out some feelings that had been frozen, and made me remember things I thought I wanted to forget. The growing men's movement has added a voice and a book that captures the problems of being male and the promises of manhood achieved. I didn't want it to end.”—John Lee, author of The Flying Boy, ISBN13: 9780553351378 ISBN10: 0553351370 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769520161075,"sku":"TN_STR_UBD_H0000NEO","price":23.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/81htcu2L1NL.jpg?v=1753655282"},{"product_id":"a-str_ubd_h0000w8n","title":"Masters of Small Worlds: Yeoman Households, Gender Relations, and the Political Culture of the Antebellum South Carolina Low Country","description":"In this innovative study of the South Carolina Low Country, author Stephanie McCurry explores the place of the yeomanry in plantation society--the complex web of domestic and public relations within which they were enmeshed, and the contradictory politics of slave society by which that class of small farmers extracted the privileges of masterhood from the region's powerful planters. Insisting on the centrality of women as historical actors and gender as a category of analysis, this work shows how the fateful political choices made by the low-country yeomanry were rooted in the politics of the household, particularly in the customary relations of power male heads of independent households assumed over their dependents, whether slaves or free women and children. Such masterly prerogatives, practiced in the domestic sphere and redeemed in the public, explain the yeomanry's deep commitment to slavery and, ultimately, their ardent embrace of secession.\n\nBy placing the yeomanry in the center of the drama, McCurry offers a significant reinterpretation of this volatile society on the road to Civil War. Through careful and creative use of a wide variety of archival sources, she brings vividly to life the small worlds of yeoman households, and the larger world of the South Carolina Low Country, the plantation South, and nineteenth-century America., ISBN13: 9780195072365 ISBN10: 0195072367 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51778516549939,"sku":"A-STR_UBD_H0000W8N","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/716lO2ZzzbL.jpg?v=1753609167"},{"product_id":"sexual-personae-art-and-decadence-from-nefertiti-to-emily-dickinson","title":"Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fiery, provocative, and unparalleled work of feminist art criticism that launched the exceptional career of one of our most important public intellectuals—\"a remarkable book, at once outrageous and compelling, fanatical and brilliant....

With Backlash in 1991, Susan Faludi broke new ground when she put her finger directly on the problem bedeviling women, and the light of recognition dawned on millions of her readers: what's making women miserable isn't something they're doing to themselves in the name of independence. It's something our society is doing to women. The book was nothing less than a landmark.

As much as the culture wants to proclaim that men are made miserable--or brutal or violent or irresponsible--by their inner nature and their hormones, Faludi finds that even in the world they supposedly own and run, men are at the mercy of cultural forces that disfigure their lives and destroy their chance at happiness. As traditional masculinity continues to collapse, the once-valued male attributes of craft, loyalty, and social utility are no longer honored, much less rewarded.

On the one hand, popular media urges women to be independent, outspoken, and career-minded. Yet, this same media glorifies a specific, sometimes voluntary, female submissiveness as a source of satisfaction. In philosophy, even less has been said on why women submit to men and the discussion has been equally contradictory―submission has traditionally been considered a vice or pathology, but female submission has been valorized as innate to women’s nature.

Manon Garcia argues that to comprehend female submission, we must invert how we examine power and see it from the woman’s point of view. Historically, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and even some radical feminists have conflated femininity and submission. Garcia demonstrates that only through the lens of women’s lived experiences―their economic, social, and political situations―and how women adapt their preferences to maintain their own well-being, can we understand the ways in which gender hierarchies in society shape women’s experiences. Ultimately, she asserts that women do not actively choose submission.

Before the decade was out, what had begun as a campaign for women’s civil rights transformed into a diverse and revolutionary movement for freedom and social justice that challenged many aspects of everyday life long accepted as fixed: work, birth control and abortion, childcare and housework, gender, class, and race, art and literature, sexuality and identity, rape and domestic violence, sexual harassment, pornography, and more. This was the women’s liberation movement, and writing—powerful, personal, and prophetic—was its beating heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFifty years on, in the age of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, this visionary and radical writing is as relevant and urgently needed as ever, ready to inspire a new generation of feminists. Activists and writers Alix Kates Shulman and Honor Moore have gathered an unprecedented collection of works—many long out-of-print and hard to find—that catalyzed and propelled the women’s liberation movement. Ranging from Friedan’s Feminine Mystique to Backlash, Susan Faludi’s Reagan-era requiem, and framed by Shulman and Moore with an introduction and headnotes that provide historical and personal context, the anthology reveals the crucial role of Black feminists and other women of color in a decades long mass movement that not only brought about fundamental changes in American life—changes too often taken for granted today—but envisioned a thoroughgoing revolution in society and consciousness still to be achieved., ISBN13: 9781598536782 ISBN10: 1598536788 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51792338092339,"sku":"FA_06-28-25_ART_20000CAU","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/811fT-6dl4L.jpg?v=1753714241"},{"product_id":"familieswechoose-lesbians-gays-kinship","title":"Families We Choose: Lesbians, Gays, Kinship","description":"This classic text, originally published in 1991 and now revised and updated to include a new preface, draws upon fieldwork and interviews to explore the ways gay men and lesbians are constructing their own notions of kinship by drawing on the symbolism of love, friendship, and biology., ISBN13: 9780231110938 ISBN10: 0231110936 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51828343669043,"sku":"A-STR_UBD_H00010OL","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/81l5YQPbUlL_8342cea8-c8d8-4aa2-be80-b539291497c0.jpg?v=1758735019"},{"product_id":"singledout-howsinglesarestereotyped-stigmatized-andignored-andstilllivehappilyeverafter","title":"Singled Out: How Singles are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After","description":"People who are single are changing the face of America. Did you know that:\n\n* More than 40 percent of the nation's adults---over 87 million people---are divorced, widowed, or have always been single.\n* There are more households comprised of single people living alone than of married parents and their children.\n* Americans now spend more of their adult years single than married.\nMany of today's single people have engaging jobs, homes that they own, and a network of friends. This is not the 1950s---singles can have sex without marrying, and they can raise smart, successful, and happy children. It should be a great time to be single. Yet too often single people are still asked to defend their single status by an onslaught of judgmental peers and fretful relatives.\n\nProminent people in politics, the popular press, and the intelligentsia have all taken turns peddling myths about marriage and singlehood. Marry, they promise, and you will live a long, happy, and healthy life, and you will never be lonely again.\n\nDrawing from decades of scientific research and stacks of stories from the front lines of singlehood, Bella DePaulo debunks the myths of singledom---and shows that just about everything you've heard about the benefits of getting married and the perils of staying single are grossly exaggerated or just plain wrong. Although singles are singled out for unfair treatment by the workplace, the marketplace, and the federal tax structure, they are not simply victims of this singlism. Single people really are living happily ever after.\n\nFilled with bracing bursts of truth and dazzling dashes of humor, Singled Out is a spirited and provocative read for the single, the married, and everyone in between. You will never think about singlehood or marriage the same way again.\n\nSingled Out debunks the Ten Myths of Singlehood, including:\n\nMyth #1: The Wonder of Couples: Marrieds know best.\n\nMyth #3: The Dark Aura of Singlehood: You are miserable and lonely and your life is tragic.\n\nMyth #5: Attention, Single Women: Your work won't love you back and your eggs will dry up. Also, you don't get any and you're promiscuous.\n\nMyth #6: Attention, Single Men: You are horny, slovenly, and irresponsible, and you are the scary criminals. Or you are sexy, fastidious, frivolous, and gay.\n\nMyth #7: Attention, Single Parents: Your kids are doomed.\n\nMyth #9: Poor Soul: You will grow old alone and you will die in a room by yourself where no one will find you for weeks.\n\nMyth #10: Family Values: Let's give all of the perks, benefits, gifts, and cash to couples and call it family values.\n\n\"With elegant analysis, wonderfully detailed examples, and clear and witty prose, DePaulo lays out the many, often subtle denigrations and discriminations faced by single adults in the U.S. She addresses, too, the resilience of single women and men in the face of such singlism. A must-read for all single adults, their friends and families, as well as social scientists and policy advocates.\"\n---E.
