The Big Vote - Gender, Consumer Culture, and the Politics of Exclusion, 1890s - 1920s

Informationen zum Autor Liette Gidlow is an associate professor of history at Wayne State University. Klappentext Liette Gidlow shows that the Get-Out-the-Vote campaigns of the 1920s -- overlooked by historians until now -- helped to connect politics to a modern culture of consumption! define the place of newly enfranchised women in civic life! and remake the very meanings of citizenship. Zusammenfassung In the end, the Get-Out-the Vote campaigns shed light not only on the problem of voter turnout in the 1920s, but on some of the problems that hamper the practice of full democracy even today.
