Thesis (Ph.D.)--Duke University, 1996.

Since 1960, movements to end discrimination and expand the rights of marginalized social groups have reshaped American customs, laws, and values. Despite the proliferation of legislation and institutions that owe their development to campaigns peopled by both sexes, historians have only recently explored the origins and evolution of women's collective activities on behalf of social change. This dissertation focuses on the convergence of movements for race, sex, and economic liberation in post-1960 Washington, D.C., where such struggles attracted thousands of participants and left an indelible imprint on public policies, cultural values, and social institutions, locally and nationally.

520 $a Since 1960, movements to end discrimination and expand the rights of marginalized social groups have reshaped American customs, laws, and values. Despite the proliferation of legislation and institutions that owe their development to campaigns peopled by both sexes, historians have only recently explored the origins and evolution of women's collective activities on behalf of social change. This dissertation focuses on the convergence of movements for race, sex, and economic liberation in post-1960 Washington, D.C., where such struggles attracted thousands of participants and left an indelible imprint on public policies, cultural values, and social institutions, locally and nationally.
520 $a The dissertation assesses the impact of ideology and identity in shaping women's activism, tracing the trajectory of women's efforts through feminist and underground newspapers, personal papers, organizational records, government documents, and oral interviews with participants in Washington's liberation struggles. This study is necessary because scholars have generally depicted black and white women activists' political allegiances as united before 1965 under the banner of the nonviolent civil rights movement, but largely separate and antagonistic thereafter. This characterization assumes that black and white women exercised minimal influence on each other, emphasizing race as the primary determinant of their activism.
520 $a By examining numerous grassroots initiatives that engaged Washington women from 1963 to 1980--civil rights, community development, welfare rights, women's liberation, black power, lesbian feminism, and campaigns against sexual violence--the dissertation uncovers connections in ideology, tactics, and personnel among movements, even as it details the conflicts that demarcated them. The study highlights instances of coalition building, thereby challenging the notion that identity politics inevitably leads to separatism; instead, it demonstrates how even activists who rooted their politics in racial, class, and sex distinctions sometimes found common cause with those outside their circle. Although the dissertation rejects universalist feminist claims that gender united women into a harmonious sisterhood, it contends that for over two decades women in D.C. did construct a movement cognizant of the interlocking force of race, class, and sexuality in shaping women's lives. Periodically, activists worked to bridge their differences for the sake of improving women's plight, even as they maintained their distinctive political bases.
