Joan Marie Johnson examines an understudied dimension of women's history in the United States: how a group of affluent white women from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries advanced the status of all women through acts of philanthropy. This cadre of activists included Phoebe Hearst, the mother of William Randolph Hearst; Grace Dodge, granddaughter of Wall Street "Merchant Prince" William Earle Dodge; and Ava Belmont, who married into the Vanderbilt family fortune. Motivated by their own experiences with sexism, and focusing on women's need for economic independence, these benefactors sought to expand women's access to higher education, promote suffrage, and champion reproductive rights, as well as to provide assistance to working-class women. In a time when women still wielded limited political power, philanthropy was perhaps the most potent tool they had. But even as these wealthy women exercised considerable influence, their activism had significant limits. As Johnson argues, restrictions tied to their giving engendered resentment and jeopardized efforts to establish coalitions across racial and class lines. As the struggle for full economic and political power and self-determination for women continues today, this history reveals how generous women helped shape the movement. And Johnson shows us that tensions over wealth and power that persist in the modern movement have deep historical roots.

My dissertation addresses the paradox that increased transnational investments in women's rights may lead to NGOization, or the narrowing, professionalization, and deradicalization of women's movements. I follow UN Women's Fund for Gender Equality, one of the world's largest pools of money for gender equality actors, across three grant cycles between 2009 and 2015. Combining an institutional ethnographic approach with quantitative analysis of 3,600+ grant applications from women's NGOs, governments, and mainstream organizations, I shed light on notoriously opaque processes that determine the allocation of millions of dollars in development funding for gender equality and women's rights. First, I theorize "dual accountabilities" to understand how individuals within bureaucracies manage competing constituencies in ongoing, daily ways. I find that the Fund's increasing attention to bureaucratic requirements and politics -- its institutional accountability -- eclipses its more outward-facing movement accountability -- a focus on serving women's movements. Under mounting internal pressures, feminist funding experts on staff are replaced with development experts, and avenues for women's movement actors to advise the Fund dissolve entirely. Next, I develop a methodology to understand grantmaking as a social process in which power is negotiated and contested in each grant review stage. I show how the Fund's shifting accountabilities become embedded in its eligibility requirements, explicit priorities, and implicit ideals about gender equality. Finally, I explore how the Fund's institutional location shapes which groups are most likely to progress through its grant review. The Fund rewards characteristics related to NGOization, promoting well-established women's NGOs and advancing more moderate activities over radical social change strategies. This narrowing happens through deliberate choices, such as prioritizing policy advocacy and endorsing NGO-government partnerships, but also through relatively small requirements and often invisible assumptions entrenched in grant review. My study adds to a growing field of research on the internal workings of international institutions. I also provide a rare window into philanthropic processes. My methodology is a promising new approach to understand how power shapes grant decisions. Finally, I make a small but valuable addition to resource mobilization research by showing how funders' processes contribute to the phenomena of NGOization even before grants are made.

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of this classic text, Judith Grant updates her challenge to what she calls the hyphenated model of feminist theory. Including new material on intersectionality, postmodernism, and global feminisms, Grant provides new introductions to every chapter as well as a new introduction and conclusion to the entire text, plus will recruit an esteemed Foreword author to reintroduce the new edition to the latest generation of feminist students and scholars. In Fundamental Feminism, Judith Grant explores the evolution of feminist theory as well as the state of today's feminist thought. Pointing to the main problems within feminism, Grant calls for a substantial revision of the core concepts responsible for shaping today's feminist theory. Grant identifies and critiques three core concepts in feminist theory--"woman," "experience," and "personal politics"--from their origins in pamphlets and writings in the early women's liberation movement to their current construction in feminist thought. She connects a number of key debates in feminism today to the longstanding influence of these core assumptions. These debates include the hegemony of the white female perspective, the tension between anti-pornography and pro-sex feminists, and the challenges presented by postmodernism. Fundamental Feminism is provocative reading for anyone interested in the future of feminist theory and the power of feminist politics.

As we face global challenges like climate change and inequality, what if women could use their investments to build a cleaner, fairer and more sustainable world? Financial feminism--the belief in the financial equality of women--has been gathering momentum, largely in the context of the gender pay gap: on average a woman earns 80% of what a man does. But there's another gap--the gender investing gap--which shows women are investing less than men, saving less for retirement, and parking more in cash. When compounded by the gender pay gap, this results in a significant shortfall, but there's more to financial feminism than simply addressing these gaps: women also care about where their money is invested and the impact it can have. In this practical and accessible guide, sustainable investing expert Jessica Robinson shows how through financial feminism, women can use their financial power to invest in a sustainable future and build the kind of world they want to live in. With jargon-free explanations and real-world examples, she demystifies the financial services industry, breaks down just what sustainable investing is and demonstrates the societal and environmental impact of the investment decisions we make. Arming women with the information they need to get started--and keep going--she hopes that more women will embrace financial feminism, invest to grow their own wealth and, in doing so, use their financial decisions to demand a better world.

As economic citizenship was a pre-condition of full citizenship, the lack of economic autonomy was an important motivation during the early stages of the women's movement. Independent of their class background, women had less access to not only financial resources but also social and cultural capital, i.e., member's commitment. Resources are therefore of particular interest from a gender perspective, and this book sheds light on the importance of resources for women's struggles for political rights. Highlighting the financial strategies of the first wave of Swedish middle-class and socialist women's movements and comparing them with similar organizations in Germany, England, and Canada, the authors show the importance of class, gender, age, and the national context, offering a valuable contribution to the discussion of resource mobilization theories in the context of social movements.

It all comes down to sex and money: how the media are organized, how they work, what they say, who gets to say it and to whom. That is the message this book delivers -- and then parses for its meaning to society and culture. Forcefully and persuasively, this groundbreaking volume uses the media to show how questions of gender and economics are inextricably linked to issues of power in Western capitalist societies. Integrating political economy and feminism, it offers a new understanding of communication at the personal, experiential, institutional, and structural levels -- and exposes all the subtle and complex ways in which sex and money are sutured into individuals' daily lives.
