Caroline Bartlett Crane and Progressive

This socio-historical analysis of women and social reform in the Progressive Era (1890-1920) uses the archival records of one woman -- Caroline Bartlett Crane (1858-1935) -- to document her professional, intellectual, and personal life. Despite a growing awareness of the importance of women to Progressive social reform and the origins of the discipline of sociology, questions remain concerning the link between women and politics and ideology and action. Professor Rynbrandt describes Crane's contribution to social reform and early sociology and analyzes how Crane's life and work reveals issues of great pertinence to current feminist debates and other social, historical, and political questions.
