Book Description
Excerpt from Papers and Discussion of the Twenty-First Annual Meeting, Atlantic City, N. J., December 28-31, 1908: April, 1909 There are writers whose work deserves commendation, and yet the art of popularizing is SO prominent that the fuller view of the earlier epoch is lost Sight Of in the struggle for immediate results. A theoretic writer can no longer gain through his work the commanding place that would have been given him even a dozen years ago. Not only has he in this way lost prestige, but his work is more impersonal that it was, SO much more so in fact that he scarcely ever derives personal advantage from it. The popular speaker and writer are quoted everywhere, and thus gain a name on which position and income de pend. The theorist, however, finds few readers, and his contrasts when fresh and striking are appropriated by popular writers without credit. A man who worked for years on an important topic finally brought out a book that set Off his thought by a brilliant contrast that really contained its essence. When this was first used by an editorial writer he gave full credit. Soon editorials by. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Crystal Eastman

Book Description
"Crystal Eastman was a central figure in many of the defining social movements of the twentieth century -- labor, feminism, internationalism, free speech, peace. She drafted America's first serious workers' compensation law. She helped found the National Woman's Party and is credited as co-author of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). She helped found the Woman's Peace Party -- today, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) -- and the American Union Against Militarism. She co-published the Liberator magazine. And she engineered the founding the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Eastman worked side-by-side with national and international suffrage leaders, renowned progressive reformers and legislators, birth control advocates, civil rights champions, revolutionary writers and artists. She traveled with a transatlantic crowd of boundary-breakers and innovators. And in virtually every arena she entered, she was one of the most memorable women known to her allies and adversaries alike. Yet today, her legacy is oddly ambiguous. She is commemorated, paradoxically, as one of the most neglected feminist leaders in American history. This first full-length biography recovers the revealing story of a woman who attained rare political influence and left a thought-provoking legacy in ongoing struggles. The social justice issues she cared about -- gender equality and human rights, nationalism and globalization, political censorship and media control, worker benefits and family balance, and the monumental questions of war, sovereignty, force, and freedom -- remain some of the most consequential questions of our own time"--
