Preface
This anthology began as a joint project with Rosalind Pollack Petchesky. At
a very early stage， when we had only just begun to discuss what might be
included， she had to leave me alone with the project because of her new and
very demanding job. I am keenly aware that the benefit of her intellectual rigor
and knowledge， combined with the mutual learning that can occur in such a
team project， would have made this a better book.
My own thinking on this subject， as reflected in my first essay and in
the choice of articles， has been influenced not only by Ros Petchesky but
also by many other friends and colleagues with whom I have discussed these
issues， at levels of abstraction rangthg from a discussion about \"the state\"
with graduate students here at the University of Wisconsin to mutterings about
the daily news. I would like particularly to thank Rosalyn Fraad Baxandall，
Johanna Brenner， Lisa Brush， Elizabeth Ewen， Smart Ewen， Martha Fineman，
Nancy Fraser， Ed Friedman， Susan Stanford Friedman， Alien Hunter， Nancy
lsenberg， Alice Kessler-Harris， Judith Walzer Leavitt， Gerda Lerner， Sara
McLanaban， Nancy MacLean， Ann Orloff， Kathryn Sklar， Susan Smith， Susan
Traverse， Susan Ware， and Ann Withom. To some authors whose work is in-
cluded here t have special debts: Nancy Fraser， Jane Jenson， and Gwendolyn
Mink rewrote their articles for this anthology. Elizabeth Schneider allowed me
to cut her article drastically. Jane Jenson allowed me to lop off a theoretical
introduction that was very dear to her and turned herself into an American
historian at my pleading. Teresa Amott produced her essay especially for this
collection. Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward， unintentionally， gave me，
in their impressive oeuvre on welfare， not only a model of committed scholar-
ship but an argument against which I was able to develop my own feminist
analysis.
