Kuhlman, Erika A. "The Feminist Pacifist Challenge to Progressive Hegemony: The Debate Over U.S. Intervention in World War I," Program in American Studies, Washington State University, May 1995.
This dissertation utilizes three analytic tools simultaneously to argue that concepts of femininity and masculinity and their relations to notions of militarism, democracy, and citizenship, were central to the construction of a hegemonic bloc favoring U.S. intervention in World War I. Initially opposed to military intervention, most male progressive pacifists came to view intervention as an opportunity to reinvigorate the nation’s sagging manhood and nationhood. Female reformers supported the war because they saw war work as a way to obtain woman suffrage. However, after the U.S. declared war, radical feminists’ gendered critique of militarism challenged the hegemony of the progressive class.
