chap 2: 

check edition is correct: Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1871), - just need to confirm that my quotes are on pp. 317 and 327 of this edition [I had a copy in a file in office, pretty sure it is this edition but here is call number to order from SAL]: 575 .D228 
Same call #, same Appleton 1871 edition, but different page numbers...

Darwin wrote that "Man is more courageous, pugnacious, and energetic than woman, and has a more inventive genius" (301).  Man thus attained "a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than woman can attain. . ." (311)


i condensed the old 2 and 3 into one new chapter 2. So I now turn to chapter 3, which is old chapter 4, etc

  • I can't find my copy of Janice Stockard's book and need to find a p. cite for Janice E. Stockard, Daughters of the Canton Delta: Marriage Patterns and Economic Strategies in South China, 1860-1930 (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1989), . [page number for "loopholes in gender hierarchy" ] 
  • 15. Aristotle, Politics, Book I, p. 269. for quote "The courage of a man is shown in commanding, of a woman in obeying." Is that a sufficient citation of his work - ie, could a researcher find it with that cite. [NO--need specific translation from the Greek....which trans.?]] 
    • Clearly, then, moral virtue belongs to all of them; but the temperance of a man and of a woman, or the courage and justice of a man and of a woman, are not, as Socrates maintained, the same; the courage of a man is shown in commanding, of a woman in obeying.
         --Book I, chapter 13, Politics, trans. by Benjamin Jowett  [is enough for anyone to find it...]
Ch. 3 (old 4)

I have another request too: can you get Jacquelyn Dowd Hall's book on Jessie Daniel Ames [Revolt Against Chivalry] either from library or bookstore if they have it - Charlotte Hawkins Brown 1920 address to Memphis interracial meeting: JUST BE COLORED FOR A FEW MOMENTS" [93] and Jessie Daniel Ames "tied in to a sex warfare between white and Negro men ..." [248] 

My revision (and book is on your desk):
   In October of 1920, Will Alexander, a  white Methodist minister, invited African American educator/principal Charlotte Hawkins Brown, to speak at a meeting of the YMCA Commission on Interracial Cooperation in Memphis, Tennessee.... 
On the train ride to Memphis, Brown revealed, she had been removed from her lodgings in the overnight sleeping car and forced to ride in the second-class, Jim Crow segregated coach for blacks only.  The "shame" of the incident, she said, was that "southern white women passing for Christians were on that very car" and not one white woman had stood up to defend her or protest her removal.   At the conference, Brown called on white women to  take their own position on interracial affairs at the same time that she poignantly showed white women what it meant to be "colored." 
  ...if the white women would take hold of the situation that lynching would be stopped....I want to say to you, when you read in the paper where a colored man has insulted a white woman, just multiply that by one thousand and you have some idea of the number of colored women insulted by white men. (JD Hall, 93)

Ch. Four

In process....
'm a bit behind in my revising schedule so I'm going to turn the rest of the notes for chapter 4 [previously chapter 5] over to you. Here is the whole chapter with notes as rtf. Please fill in full citations as best you can and let me know what is still missing. I'm hoping to get the J. Hall book on J.D. Ames when I am down on Wed so that I can fill in the missing points in the text.

To setup the master, open chap1...

Edit--Document--include subdoc include a hard page break before each.
Master doc head/footer will override individual chapter head/footer, so make sure they don't overlap/differ. Only need to format master doc! (ch.1)

Each day working:

Open first/master document, then "Edit--Document--Expand master for each of the chapters you want to work on. When finishing, be sure to Edit--Document--Condense master before saving. (double check that).  You can also just work on each chapter individually, without opening master.

Make sure each chapter has a footnote beginning n umber one... Edit--Insert Foot/Endnote--options--set number Add in "Chapter Two" at end of each chapter for next chapter (Ch.2 written at end of chap 1).

  • Sultana's Dream is NY: Feminist Press, 1988 - if you still have the cost sheets from last year, check how much that one costs and let me know. i could drop it if expensive, though it shouldn't be. There is another possibility for that slot, a short story by Christa Wolf called "Self-Experiment" which should be in my file drawer from previous years. I fear it will be too expensive, but it is great. Tell me to stop thinking about changes!
  • for Mairs - use pp. 40-50 - actually, there are only three lines at the top of p. 50 that I want to include,

Leftovers: 

trying to find a missing footnote in chap 7, I FOUND THE 1986 CALIFORNIA POLL THAT INCLUDES THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES missing citation! S.F. Chronicle, feb 13, 1986. It doesn't say source of the poll but i'llcite the newspaper. if this helps find the original poll, let me know, but only if it is not time consuming. The headline is "the new Attitudes of Men and Women" - many questions asked, this was last one.

chap 7:14, Find Source: "In one survey conducted in California in 1986, 89 per cent of the men believed that husband and wife should share equally in housework, yet only 44% said that they did share equally."

"In a 1978 national survey, Joan Huber and Glenna Spitze found that 78 percent of husbands think that if husband and wife both work full time, they should share housework equally.(Sex Stratification: Children, Housework and Jobs. New York: Academic Press, 1983). In fact, the husbands of working wives at most average a third of the work at home."
--footnote 1, Chapter 2, Arlie Hochschild, The Second Shift (New York: Avon Books, 1989), 286. 

looks like you have the total number of official delgates but not the number who are female, right? if that is available, figure out the percent, but if not, i'll drop it. re juicy quote: I'd actually rather have something before Beijing for one use, and Copenhagen or Nairobi is just fine, not necessarily Mexico City. journalistic source might give a more vivid personal quote if we are lucky, but an official descriptin could always be livened up in the writing. 

Ch. 6: Here is a very old detail, still bugging chapter 6: the percent of women delegates at the UN conference on women in Mexico City in 1975 [to compare to the 75% at Nairobi in 1985]. I can drop the Nairobi figure if we hit a dead end on the Mexico City one. 

"1,300 delegates from 133 governments, 31 intergovernmental and 113 nongovernmental agencies, and seven liberation movements. A parallel, unofficial conference called the Tribune, financed by a number of sources including the Ford Foundation and the Norwegian government, drew an estimated 5,000 participants, most of them feminists from the U.S. and Mexico." 

[Newsweek reports 1500 delegates from 133 nations] 

"Delegates to the U.S. conference also approved, by a vote of 89-2 with 19 abstentions, a document called the Declaration of Mexico which denounced Zionism, imperialism, colonialism and racism as obstacles to women's progress and called for a new world economic order to benefit the poorer nations.The U.S. and Israel cast the negative votes." --"Women's parley held in Mexico," Facts on File World News Digest, 8/9/75, 570 

But I do want a vivid quote of what the meetings, any of them, were like, preferably not from U.S. or European view. That was why I asked last week about finding a source for un conferences. let me know what you come up with. 

Good news coverage (including NYT articles) on Lexis-Nexis for Copenhagen 1980 and later conferences, but only two measly articles on Mexico City!

forgot to add re chap 6: as of 2000 or 2001, how many nations have ratified CEDAW? 
As of May, 2001, 168 countries - more than two-thirds of the members of the United Nations - are party to the Convention and an additional 4 have signed the treaty, binding themselves to do nothing in contravention of its terms. 

24 members are party to the optional protocol on communication and inquiry with 68 signatories

(it looks like you can sign it, but don't become "party" to the convention til you ratify....each country has separate dates for each....confirm? )

Randolph E. Schmid, "Housework--Men Do More; Women Do Most," Los Angeles Times 12/2/88, Part 5, p. 3

Men are wielding the mop and tending the stove more often than ever before, yet still doing only half as much housework as women, a new study shows. 

Women toil about two hours at home for every one hour of housework done by men, reports sociologist John P. Robinson in the December edition of American Demographics magazine. 

Yet, this represents significant progress in just 20 years, according to the study by Robinson, director of the Survey Research Center at the University of Maryland. 

By comparison, in 1975 women spent three times as long as men on housework, and in 1965, the ratio was nearly six hours of housework for women for every hour worked by a man. 

"Several important trends account for shifts in who does how much housework," Robinson reported in his study. These include declines in the share of households with children, a smaller share of married-couple households and an increasing number of women in the paid work force. 

Robinson compared the housework by analyzing studies of how people spend their time, done in 1965 and 1975 by the University of Michigan and in 1985 by his center. The shift in the housework burden, he found, results from both an increase in the time spent on housework by men, and a decline in the time spent by women. 

In 1985, Robinson found, men averaged 9.8 hours of housework weekly, while women put in 19.5 hours. 

The 1975 study found men working 7 hours a week on home tasks compared to 21.7 hours for women. 

And a decade earlier, men spent 4.6 hours a week on housework, compared to 27 hours for women. 

Men and women still tended to observe a traditional separation of tasks. Women dominated in such areas as cooking, washing dishes, housecleaning, laundry and ironing. Men, on the other hand, were more likely to concentrate on household repairs and outdoor chores, while the burden of pet care, gardening and bill paying was shared. 

Things have evened out somewhat, though, Robinson said. For example, in 1965 about 98% of laundry and ironing was done by women, while by 1985 that was down to 88%. Women did 87% of cooking in 1965 and 77% in 1985. 

Men did only 32% of bill paying in 1965 but increased their share to 52% by 1985. 

Among the reasons for the change is the decline in the number of households with children, Robinson said. Children mean more cooking and cleaning and other housework, and the majority of that falls to mother.
