Tying in critical insights on corporate capitalism, consumer culture, populism, and the American Left, Livingston analyzes the intersections and similarities of pragmatism and feminism to yield an original, provocative blend of historiography, feminist theory, and American intellectual history.Progressivism (United States politics)HistoryPragmatismHistoryFeminismUnited StatesHistoryCapitalismUnited StatesHistorySocialismUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesPolitics and government1865-1933United StatesHistoriographyUnited StatesIntellectual life1865-1918Progressivism (United States politics)History.PragmatismHistory.FeminismHistory.CapitalismHistory.SocialismHistory.306.0973973/.07/2Livingston James1949-1761048MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820853003321Pragmatism, feminism, and democracy4200226UNINA
