"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year" "Cobbles appreciation for the integrity of the full rights feminists line of reasoning and their persistence shapes her book.
"---Nancy F. Cott, New York Review of Books "Cobbles impressive research draws on countless primary sources from collections spanning archives, libraries, and research institutions from around the globe, making her book a must read for students interested in transnational feminism." * Choice Reviews * "[ A] comprehensive new history. . . . Cobbles book is brimming with stories of women who similarly moved in and out of unions, feminist organizations, and government posts."---Laura Tanenbaum, Jacobin "Dorothy Sue Cobble's sweeping, carefully-researched, and beautifully-written story of full-rights feminists. . . . will no doubt remain a touchstone for the history of feminism and labor for years to come."---Jocelyn Olcott, International Review of Social History "For the Many should help dislodge the hegemonic tendency of attributing and assigning feminism to white, American, bourgeois women, and therefore allowing feminism to be inextricably confined to white, bourgeois political philosophies and ideologies. Cobble's work serves as a caution to young intersectional feminists that we should not allow the most racist, classist, and exclusionary of feminists to lay claim to the history of American feminism in the twentieth century."---Tracey Jean Bouisseau, American Historical Review "Cobble successfully traces the history of U.S. womens international labor feminism over the course of the twentieth century. As such, For the Many provides an insightful account for graduate students and scholars interested in womens transnational labor activism and U.S. labor relations.
"---Jessica Frazier, Diplomatic History "The transnational turn has been a mainstay in U.S. history for quite some time now, but in recent years, feminist scholars have joined the trend. . . . Dorothy Sue Cobbles For the Many: American Feminists and the Global Fight for Democratic Equality adds to this critical scholarship by highlighting the role of American working-class women and women of color as they fought to advance social justice and equality for all."---Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, Coordinating Council for Women in History
