Excerpt from The Story of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs: 1900 1922 In the past twenty-two years much has been accomplished by the Colored women of Illinois. Those who are closely connected with or deeply interested in the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, know of the struggle that has been made and the success that has been attained. Time, in its progress has, however, taken from the work many of the pioneers and has substituted those of a younger generation, who like the general public, of times do not appreciate the fullness of organized effort. Realizing this and the fact that records of the Federation were frequently being lost, it was decided at the meeting held at Bloomington in 1918, to appoint a Historian to compile the records or rather, write a story of the work that has been done up to the present time. Because of the fact that I have had an unusual opportunity to be present at practically every meeting of the State Federation and have been active in club work since its conception among colored women, I was given the task of writing this story.I unfortunately, cannot lay claim to any especial literary ability, but have undertaken the work with a sincerity of interest that I trust will overshadow any lack of fitness. The functions of this volume have to do with Club Women of prominence and character, who have accomplished deeds and are not surrounded with duties appealing to the imagination for appreciation or condemnation. The women herein mentioned, may be justly proud of their record, splendid enthusiasm, lofty ideals, patriotism and other achievements - the traditions of the Illinois Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Space has prevented in giving credit to ail the loyal women, who have made the club movement hi Illinois a success, nor am 1 able to extend my thanks and appreciation to the legion who have so heartily co-operated with me by furnishing data, advice and inspiration. My greatest desire in presenting this volume, is that those younger women among our ranks will find in it, information that will give them a greater appreciation of the work and usefullness of the "Pioneers" and that through this greater appreciation, they will be inspired to "Carry On."

For many years, the interrelated histories of prostitution and cities have perked the ears of urban scholars, but until now the history of urban sex work has dealt only in passing with questions of race. In I’ve Got to Make My Livin’, Cynthia Blair explores African American women’s sex work in Chicago during the decades of some of the city’s most explosive growth, expanding not just our view of prostitution, but also of black women’s labor, the Great Migration, black and white reform movements, and the emergence of modern sexuality. Focusing on the notorious sex districts of the city’s south side, Blair paints a complex portrait of black prostitutes as conscious actors and historical agents; prostitution, she argues here, was both an arena of exploitation and abuse, as well as a means of resisting middle-class sexual and economic norms. Blair ultimately illustrates just how powerful these norms were, offering stories about the struggles that emerged among black and white urbanites in response to black women’s increasing visibility in the city’s sex economy. Through these powerful narratives, I’ve Got to Make My Livin’ reveals the intersecting racial struggles and sexual anxieties that underpinned the celebration of Chicago as the quintessentially modern twentieth-century city.

The first study to explore the origins of welfare in the context of local politics, this book examines the first public welfare policy created specifically for mother-only families. Chicago initiated the largest mothers' pension program in the United States in 1911. Evolving alongside movements for industrial justice and women's suffrage, the mothers' pension movement hoped to provide "justice for mothers" and protection from life's insecurities. However, local politics and public finance derailed the policy, and most women were required to earn. Widows were more likely to receive pensions than deserted women and unwed mothers. And African-American mothers were routinely excluded because they were proven breadwinners yet did not compete with white men for jobs. Ultimately, the once-uniform commitment to protect motherhood faltered on the criteria of individual support, and wage-earning became a major component of the policy. This revealing study shows how assumptions about women's roles have historically shaped public policy and sheds new light on the ongoing controversy of welfare reform.
