"Dorothy Sue Cobble's stirring international tale of 'full rights' feminism imparts a fundamental lesson: there can be no history of feminism without connecting it to the struggle for economic democracy, and there can be no future for economic democracy without feminism. A must-read book, For the Many offers not just a rich history, it provides an intellectual foundation for a vibrant, multidimensional, and equitable political future." --Jefferson Cowie, author of The Great Exception: The New Deal and the Limits of American Politics "The wide-ranging research that underpins this new history of American feminism is impressive, and its passion and perspective are refreshing." --Marilyn Lake, author of Progressive New World: How Settler Colonialism and Transpacific Exchange Shaped American Reform "This indispensable book deftly charts the collective biography of a vast, cosmopolitan, and multigenerational network of 'full rights' feminist activists, many with labor movement roots, over the long twentieth century. Dorothy Sue Cobble shows that on both the national and global stage, these individuals laid the groundwork for today's gender, race, and class justice movements." --Ruth Milkman, author of On Gender, Labor, and Inequality "With extraordinary breadth and complexity, this narrative of interconnected international feminisms is a scholarly tour de force, a compelling read, and a hopeful reminder that versions of feminism committed to labor and social rights for working people are embedded in American history, and may still inspire movements for gender, class, and racial equality." -- Joan Sangster, author of Transforming Labour: Women and Work in Postwar Canada "Only Dorothy Sue Cobble could have written For the Many with such keen sensitivity and historical insight. Covering a large swath of twentieth-century history, this masterful synthesis of existing literature and new research captures the resilience and persistence of the battle for social democratic values in ways that speak powerfully to us today.
