“…In the 1912 presidential election, all three major candidates (Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, and Wilson) campaigned on Progressive issues (Fishback 2007). To be sure progressives during this era were not without fault or always motivated by progressive ideals, to wit, some supported eugenics, racism, and systems of inequality (Huyssen 2014; Muhammad 2011).…”

It has become increasingly difficult to define progressive municipalities and progressive economic development. Conceptions of “local economic development” tied to neoliberal agendas are often narrow, focusing on efforts to offset perceived disadvantages of a location. Many traditional incentive policies result in a transfer of wealth from the public to the private sector. In this article, we consider whether the introduction of progressive economic development policies into the present neoliberal context might result in improved outcomes in terms of increased equity and democratic empowerment. However, progressive policies in one sector of intervention can yield nonprogressive outcomes in another. We conclude that progressive economic development policies are likely an oxymoron and recommend a complete reconceptualization of what “economic development” means.

“…Much has been written too about this period's extraordinary if fitful cross-class mobilization of female union leaders, wealthy socialites, and middle-class clubwomen, around a shared agenda of reforming government, improving sanitation and workplace conditions for immigrants, and enacting votes for women. 9 The era's cooperation between progressive men and women across gender expectations was no less a feature.…”

Who Won Women's Suffrage? A Case for “Mere Men”

Scholars of women's suffrage have long debated credit, a meditation on which leaders won the campaign to enfranchise American women. Many argue that victory came because of Alice Paul's militancy in picketing the White House. Others insist it was Carrie Chapman Catt's pragmatism in winning state victories. Still others note that both were needed, a political “one-two punch” of strategic effectiveness. This article suggests that one contingent often excluded from this narrative is men. Male suffragists are often portrayed as driven more by a hunger for quixotic political or sexual adventure, or by a chivalrous posture toward women. Examining the records of the New York Men's League for Woman Suffrage and the archival footprints male suffragists left behind, this article argues that whatever their motives, male suffragists made palatable to other men the once radical notion that women could join the coarse, corrupt, and cigar-filled world of politics without losing their femininity—or robbing men of their virility. By their very activism, they conditioned the public to see women—and men—beyond the gendered construct of the domestic sphere and in the light of the interest politics that dominated the Progressive Era.
