DESCRIPTION:
 This discussion is part of a conference sponsored 
 by the Center for Gender in Global Context 
 entitled "Gender, Women's Suffrage, and Political 
 Power: Past, Present, and Future."\n
 \n
 \n
 American Jewish Women and the Politics of Power 
 in the Turn-of-the-Century Women's Movement\n
 \n
 During 
 the last decades of the 19th century 
 and first decades of the 20th century, 
 American Jewish women participated in all the 
 great women's movements of their day: suffrage, 
 birth control, and peace. Their activism 
 has been largely erased from the narratives of 
 the women's movement, yet they exerted real 
 power within these movements and exemplified 
 the complex relationships among social justice 
 and the politics of identity.\n
 \n
