May 8, 2023: Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, Department of History, Case Western Reserve University – Topic: Dressed for Freedom: The Politics of Fashion in American History
Title: Dressed for Freedom: The Politics of Fashion in American History
Description: What is the connection between fashion and women’s rights? How pockets, skirts, and bras became a political statement? How does fashion function in our political system? This talk will examine how fashion became a tool to express and challenge gender, race, and class identities and how women used it to advance their political agendas – from the suffragists to today’s politicians. Celebrating the publication of the recent book: Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism, the talk will reveal the importance of clothing and appearance in struggles for freedom and equality and why clothes matter.
Einav Rabinovitch-Fox teaches U.S and women’s and gender history at Case Western Reserve University. Her research examines the connections between fashion, politics, and modernity, and the cultural aspects of social movements. Her recent book, Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism explores women’s political uses of clothing and appearance to promote feminist agendas during the long 20th century. Her writing has been published in academic journals and books including the Journal of Women’s History, the International Journal of Fashion Studies, American Journalism: Journal of Media History, as well as The Washington Post, The Conversation, Public Seminar, and History News Network.

January 9, 2023: Carol Faulkner, PhD, Professor of History and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University – Topic: Marriage Reform in Nineteenth-Century America
“Marriage Reform in Nineteenth-Century America” – This presentation explores the centrality of the “marriage question” to nineteenth-century social movements. Feminists, abolitionists, spiritualists, and communitarians criticized the institution of marriage as legalized prostitution or legalized adultery. In its place, they proposed a variety of alternatives, from consent to liberal divorce to free love. While marriage reformers are often dismissed as the scandalous fringe of social movements, they helped advanced the view that marriage should be about love.
Carol Faulkner is Professor of History and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. She received her BA from Yale University, and her PhD from SUNY Binghamton. This presentation is drawn from her recent book, Unfaithful: Love, Adultery, and Marriage Reform in Nineteenth-Century America (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019). She is also the author of Women’s Radical Reconstruction: The Freedmen’s Aid Movement (2004) and Lucretia Mott’s Heresy: Abolition and Women’s Rights in Nineteenth-Century America (2011). She is the co-editor of The Selected Letters of Lucretia Coffin Mott, Interconnections: Gender and Race in American History, and Lucretia Mott Speaks: The Essential Speeches and Sermons (University of Illinois Press, 2017).
