The Limits of Women's Radical Reconstruction -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Index -- AcknowledgmentsIn this first critical study of female abolitionists and feminists in the freedmen's aid movement, Carol Faulkner describes these women's radical view of former slaves and the nation's responsibility to them. Moving beyond the image of the Yankee schoolmarm, Women's Radical Reconstruction demonstrates fully the complex and dynamic part played by Northern women in the design, implementation, and administration of Reconstruction policy. This absorbing account illustrates how these activists approached women's rights, the treatment of freed slaves, and the federal government's role in reorganizing Southern life.Like Radical Republicans, black and white women studied here advocated land reform, political and civil rights, and an activist federal government. They worked closely with the military, the Freedmen's Bureau, and Northern aid societies to provide food, clothes, housing, education, and employment to former slaves. These abolitionist-feminists embraced the Freedmen's Bureau, seeing it as both a shield for freedpeople and a vehicle for women's rights. But Faulkner rebuts historians who depict a community united by faith in free labor ideology, describing a movement torn by internal tensions. The author explores how gender conventions undermined women's efforts, as military personnel and many male reformers saw female reformers as encroaching on their territory, threatening their vision of a wage labor economy, and impeding the economic independence of former slaves. She notes the opportunities afforded to some middle-class black women, while also acknowledging the difficult ground they occupied between freed slaves and whites. Through compelling individual examples, she traces how female reformers found their commitment to gender solidarity across racial lines tested in the face of disagreements regarding the benefits of charity and the merits of paid employment.FreedmenUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAfrican AmericansHistory1863-1877Women social reformersUnited StatesHistory19th centuryRadicalismUnited StatesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.FreedmenHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryWomen social reformersHistoryRadicalismHistory973.7/14Faulkner Carol1046742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463252203321Women's radical reconstruction2473887UNINA02278nam 2200421Ia 450 99639733270331620210104171940.0(CKB)4940000000063366(EEBO)2240884629(OCoLC)ocm69648561e(OCoLC)69648561(EXLCZ)99494000000006336620060530d1686 uy 0engurbn||||a|bb|The accomptants guide, or, Merchants book-keeper[electronic resource] containing first an explanation of all the most useful and necessary rules of arithmetick, that the meanest capacity thereby may attain to the knowledge thereof : with tables for the reducing of Flemish ells into English, and English into Flemish : also for the ready and exact computing of the custom of Holland cloth, tobacco, and reducing uncertain cask of oyl by the weight in tuns and gallons : and tables of exchange for the ready and exact computing of any sum of money remitted from England to Holland, Flanders, France, Spain and Italy, et contra : instructions for a methodical keeping of merchants accompts, by way of debtor and creditor, directing where to find examples in the journal to the several clauses in the several heads of trade : with a journal and leager [sic], and from the ballance of the leager is drawn up another inventory /by Robert Chamberlain, accomptantThe second edition corrected.London Printed for John Clark ...1686[6], 259, [i.e. 261], [4] pIrregular pagination.Errata: p.
