In Battling Miss Bolsheviki Kirsten Marie Delegard argues that they were undercut during the 1920's by women conservatives who spent the first decade of female suffrage linking these reformers to radical revolutions that were raging in other parts of the world. In the decades leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment, women activists had enjoyed great success as reformers, creating a political subculture with settlement houses and women's clubs as its cornerstones. Female volunteers piloted welfare programs as philanthropic ventures and used their organizations to pressure state, local, and national governments to assume responsibility for these programs. These female activists perceived their efforts as selfless missions necessary for the protection of their homes, families, and children. In seeking to fulfill their "maternal" responsibilities, progressive women fundamentally altered the scope of the American state, recasting the welfare of mothers and children as an issue for public policy. At the same time, they carved out a new niche for women in the public sphere, allowing female activists to become respected authorities on questions of social welfare. Yet in the aftermath of the suffrage amendment, the influence of women reformers plummeted and the new social order once envisioned by progressives appeared only more remote. Battling Miss Bolsheviki chronicles the ways women conservatives laid siege to this world of female reform, placing once-respected reformers beyond the pale of political respectability and forcing most women's clubs to jettison advocacy for social welfare measures. Overlooked by historians, these new activists turned the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Legion Auxiliary into vehicles for conservative political activism. Inspired by their twin desires to fulfill their new duties as voting citizens and prevent North American Bolsheviks from duplicating the success their comrades had enjoyed in Russia, they created a new political subculture for women activists. In a compelling narrative, Delegard reveals how the antiradicalism movement reshaped the terrain of women's politics, analyzing its enduring legacy for all female activists for the rest of the twentieth century and beyond. 410 0$aPolitics and culture in modern America. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y20th century 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aConservatism$xHistory 676 $a305.420973/09045 700 $aDelegard$b Kirsten$0992421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788681403321 996 $aBattling Miss Bolsheviki$93720889 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03638nam 2200625 450 001 9910821383503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-77788-5 010 $a9786613688279 010 $a0-7748-1752-6 024 7 $a10.59962/9780774817523 035 $a(CKB)2550000000110840 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3412912 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3412912 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10831356 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL368827 035 $a(OCoLC)872675014 035 $a(DE-B1597)662046 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780774817523 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000110840 100 $a20100709h20102010 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aCanada and ballistic missile defence, 1954-2009 $edeja vu all over again /$fJames G.

Until Paul Martin's government finally said no, policy-makers responded to US initiatives with fear and uncertainty as they endlessly debated the implications ? at home and abroad ? of participation. However, whether this is the end of the story remains to be seen. Drawing on previously classified government documents and interviews with senior officials, James Fergusson examines Canada's policy deliberations during five major US initiatives. He reveals that a combination of factors such as weak leadership and a tendency to place uncertain and ill-defined notions of international peace and security before national defence resulted in indecision on what role Canada would play in ballistic missile defence. In effect, policy-makers have failed to transform debates about the issue into an opportunity to define Canada's strategic interests at home and on the world stage. Canada and Ballistic Missile Defense is the first comprehensive account of Canada's response and indecision regarding US ballistic missile defence initiatives, and the implications of this inaction. 606 $aBallistic missile defenses$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aNational security$zCanada$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xMilitary policy 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aCanada$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zCanada 615 0$aBallistic missile defenses$xHistory. 615 0$aNational security$xHistory. 676 $a358.1/740971 700 $aFergusson$b James G$g(James Gordon),$f1954-$01669504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821383503321 996 $aCanada and ballistic missile defence, 1954-2009$94030707 997 $aUNINA
