Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History: History Now: American Reform Movements

We've learned that the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History has released a new edition of History Now, a quarterly online journal for history teachers and students.

In this issue, six leading scholars illustrate how the desire to reform has influenced nearly every facet of American society, from Transcendentalism to Woman Suffrage:

Transcendentalism and Social Reform, by Philip F. Gura.

Education Reform in Antebellum America, by Barbara Winslow.

Sylvester Graham and Antebellum Diet Reform, by Cindy R. Lobel.

Women and the Progressive Movement, by Miriam Cohen.

Modern Women Persuading Modern Men: The Nineteenth Amendment and the Movement for Woman Suffrage, 1916-1920, by Jonathan Soffer.

The Transnational Nature of the Progressive Movement, by Daniel T. Rodgers.

The Institute web site also features a number of related podcasts, for example, this one with Blair Ruble delivered at New York University in 2010.
