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. 606 $aProgressivism (United States politics)$xHistory 606 $aPragmatism$xHistory 606 $aFeminism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocialism$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1865-1933 607 $aUnited States$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y1865-1918 615 0$aProgressivism (United States politics)$xHistory. 615 0$aPragmatism$xHistory. 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aSocialism$xHistory. 676 $a306.0973 676 $a973/.07/2 700 $aLivingston$b James$f1949-$01761048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820853003321 996 $aPragmatism, feminism, and democracy$94200226 997 $aUNINA
