Alice Kessler Harris

Alice Kessler Harris a Professor of History at Columbia University, is a prominent labor and feminist historian. She has published numerous books on women and work, including Women Have Always Worked: A Historical Overview. This essay draws on some of the themes of her forthcoming Pursuit of Equity: How Gender Shaped American Economic Citizenship (Oxford University Press). Insofar as we understand economic citizenship as a prelude to democratic participation, we need to adopt political strategies that enhance the independence of all women.

Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama

In early 2008 Alice Kessler Harris, of Columbia University signed a petition circulated by Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama

In the coming elections, it is important to remember that war and peace are as much \"women\'s issues\" as are health, the environment, and the achievement of educational and occupational equality. Because we believe that all of these concerns are not only fundamental but closely intertwined, this Tuesday we will be casting our vote for Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
