Abstract:

This article examines the feminist movement of the 1920s, specifically the decline of feminism during the decade, first via the historiography of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and then through the ideas, values, and ideology that informed the range of women's activities in a changing social and political context, with the North Carolina League of Women Voters serving as a case study.

Abstract:

Women in the Triangle discuss modern feminism and the do-it-yourself culture(DIY). Triangle women discuss how they are choosing not to participate in the industrialized food culture. They say they do things like sew, garden, can food, and more to improve the quality of their family’s lives. These women also discuss how important community is to their participation in these activities and how they can complete them while working full-time jobs and having a family.
