“…A partir de dicha experiencia, investigó, escribió y dio charlas sobre el trabajo de las mujeres, en concreto, sobre los problemas de las mujeres negras en diferentes sectores industriales; las cuales, por su historia, tenían un mayor hábito de trabajo que las blancas, pero menores oportunidades de empleo. Fruto de ello, fue su tesis en Columbia, Two Million Negro Women at Work de 1922(Carlton-LaNey, 1997.…”

Recuperar la historia de las trabajadoras sociales es un ejercicio de justicia epistémica que puede contribuir a repensar la identidad profesional de la disciplina. A través de un recorrido histórico con perspectiva feminista, este artículo analiza cómo las políticas de género y racialización han guiado las políticas de conocimiento. Atendemos a los procesos de segregación sexual disciplinar en la institucionalización de la ciencia social: entre una sociología teórico-académica, masculinizada y legitimada, y su cara práctico-aplicada, feminizada y desvalorizada, convertida en trabajo social. Así mismo, mostramos las estrategias y negociaciones de las pioneras articulando, desde centros sociales como la Hull House, la investigación sociológica con la reforma sociopolítica. En concreto, presentamos los aportes teórico-prácticos de las pioneras del trabajo social, principalmente en Estados Unidos, centrándonos en: Edith Abbott y Sophonisba Breckinridge, por su papel en la institucionalización de la disciplina, y en las trabajadoras sociales afroamericanas, por la invisibilización de sus experiencias y resistencias.

“…Staff in the Labor Department's Division of Negro Economics and the Women-in-Industry Service of the War Administration Board (later the Women's Bureau) helped support arguments to White YWCA leaders. 34 The DNE and the WIS cooperatively researched Black women's working conditions, investigated major changes in Black working life, coordinated Black workers in war industries, and advised the government and private organizations. Nongovernmental reformers also were engaged in trying to make visible and remedy Black women's significant workplace disadvantages.…”

Working Out Their Economic Problems Together: World War I, Working Women, and Civil Rights in the Ywca

This article examines how a group of Black and White YWCA staff members seized the opportunities of World War I to advance a racial justice agenda through Young Women's Christian Association programs for working women. First, they created YWCA program work for thousands of Black working women that paralleled the YWCA's Industrial Program, which followed YWCA segregation policies. Second, they made claims for social justice based on Black women's labor contributions, in contrast to both earlier reformers' focus on elite Black women and other wartime activists' focus on soldiers' service. Finally, in a period best known for White people's violent resistance to Black advances, they fostered a program culture and structures that encouraged White working-class women to view African American coworkers as colleagues and to understand racial justice as part of a broader social justice agenda. Arguing that interracial cooperation among working people was crucial to social progress, they made African American laboring women and White working-class allies both symbolically and literally crucial to wartime and postwar civil rights efforts. Their efforts contribute to our understanding of the changing discourse of “respectability” and the impact of World War I on the Black Freedom Struggle.

“…Likewise, Robinson has been largely unacknowledged in the study of new paradigms of reform, resistance, and social change in adult education, even though her pedagogy was a model of foundational premises that are now common in adult education curricula. “This invisibility of African American women in history has produced misrepresentations and leaves voids in educators’ cognition, distorting their knowledge base” (Carlton-Laney, 2006, p. 297). Because of the exclusion of African American women like Robinson, the “concepts, perspectives, methods, and pedagogues of women’s history and women’s studies have been developed without consideration of the experiences of black women” (Brown, 1989, p. 610).…”

Adult Literacy Reform Through a Womanist Lens

This article explores nuances of power and powerlessness in adult literacy, pedagogy in the civil rights movement of the 1950s. Drawing from interdisciplinary literature, this article places Bernice Violanthe Robinson's adult, literacy reforms within the revolutionary framework of Highlander Folk, School in Monteagle, Tennessee, and shows how such reforms became a transformative force that helped give the vote to thousands of disenfranchised African Americans. The article examines Robinson's remarkable service and leadership in the context of womanist theory to address the range of African American women's lived experiences of the three interlocking systems that oppress them: race, class, and gender. Her work exemplified key principles of the womanist epistemology, emphasizing self-help, self-definition, and community mobilization within the African American community. The article also explores Robinson's body of work in adult literacy, which resonates with later adult learning theories of political consciousness. Finally, by examining contemporary uses for Robinson's work, I hope to show the importance of her unique contributions and draw her distinguished career away from the margins.
