Angels in the machinery : gender in American party politics from the Civil War to the progressive era / Rebecca Edwards. - New York : Oxford University Press, 1997. - 1 online resource (xii, 232 pages) : illustrations - - OUP E-Books. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-220) and index.
1. The Political Crucible of the Civil War -- 2. Suffragists, Prohibitionists, and Republicans -- 3. Democrats and Domestic Economics -- 4. The Gospel of St. Republican -- 5. Populism -- 6. Redemption -- 7. New Parameters of Power -- 8. Progressives and Protection, 1897-1912.
Angels in the Machinery offers a sweeping analysis of the centrality of gender to politics in the United States from the days of the Whigs to the early twentieth century. Author Rebecca Edwards shows that women in the U.S. participated actively and influentially as Republicans, Democrats, and leaders of third-party movements like Prohibitionism and Populism decades before they won the right to vote, and in the process, transformed forever the ideology of American party politics. Using cartoons, speeches, party platforms, news accounts, and campaign memorabilia, she offers a compelling explanation of why family values, womens political activities, and even candidates sex lives remain hot-button issues in politics to this day.
