“…No es fortuito que unos meses después de su separación, en el mismo año de 1917, el periodista se haya casado, sigilosamente según la prensa, con la escritora Adriana Spadoni (Anónimo, 1917). Griswold (1980), en su estudio sobre el divorcio en California durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, identificó una constante en las deserciones de mujeres de sus matrimonios -abandono de la relación marital-, acciones por las cuales eran denunciadas (Griswold, 1980: 268). Por su parte, DiFonzo encuentra que, para la década de 1920, ha-bía tenido lugar una "modulación del rol de la mujer".…”

Este artículo identifica y analiza los cambios generacionales que experimentaron las mujeres en su relación con el espacio público y privado en el contexto del posicionamiento del feminismo como un movimiento político e ideológico durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX. A través de la trayectoria de la escritora socialista estadounidense Ethel Duffy Turner, identificamos diferentes ámbitos de transformación que podemos enmarcar dentro del movimiento de emancipación femenina. Mediante el análisis de hemerografía, memorias y a partir de una contextualización histórica e historiográfica, se proponen elementos que permitan identificar el perfil y conformación de las mujeres modernas y sus características.

In an overview of recent research on the history of the family, Tamara Hareven (1991) points out that this field of study took its inspiration from developments in historical demography and from the “new social history” of the 1960s. Family historians, like other social historians, had “a commitment to reconstructing the life patterns of ordinary people, to viewing them as actors as well as subjects in the process of change” (ibid.: 95). The flowering of research in this field has provided us with a more detailed understanding of the relationship between social change and family life than was previously available. We have learned, among other things, that rather than a single trajectory of change from extended family life before industrialization to the nuclear family afterward, changes in family organization have rarely been invariant, linear, or unidirectional.

The state's "sharp line between the sexes": women, alcohol and the law in the United States, 1850‐1980

Beginning in the 1850s, American case and statute law established alcohol policies that applied specifically to women, which aimed broadly to promote temperance among both sexes. These measures reflected the powerful hold of a middle-class Victorian ideology that stigmatized female drinking, associated women with temperance, and kept women legally dependent in general. American laws on women and alcohol fell into two broad categories. The first was access laws, which restricted women's ability to purchase alcohol, patronize liquor outlets and work in the alcohol trade. These measures aimed to protect women from becoming drunkards, and depleted their legal power. The second group was domestic laws, including marriage, divorce and civil liability statutes. They aimed to protect women from drunken family members, especially husbands, and actually bestowed legal authority on women. Although both sets of laws promoted temperance, they did so both by expanding and contracting women's legal influence. These measures survived until the 1970s, when a series of court decisions overturned them on the basis of sex discrimination. The evolution of these laws shows how middle-class attitudes about female drinking were codified into sex-specific alcohol policy for most of the nation's history.
