Eros and Narcissism
No TL;DR found
Abstract
analysis of the eventual compromises on key legislation, as well as the function of token appointments of women in those administrations are also worthwhile. Especially enjoyable is her fascinating portrayal of Women's Bureau chief Esther Peterson, a pivotal figure who symbolizes early women's rights struggles as the old guard slowly gave way to a fundamentally new way of thinking about women. Finally, her rendition of the change from a language of "comparable work" to "equal work" (p. 98), in the final legislation is as informative as it is distressing. Cynthia Harrison's plainly written book will be a valuable resource to scholars and students long in need of a deeper understanding of the roots of early liberal feminist consciousness.
