I know it is last minute, but I am hoping to put together a panel for the
2010 SHEAR conference discussing the use of gender within reform or
political movements.

My current paper entitled, “Ain’t I a Man: Nineteenth Century Masculinity
and the Women’s Rights Movement” will examine the criticisms and support
for
the Women’s Rights Movement as defined by conflicting masculine ideals.
Currently, I am comparing William Lloyd Garrison’s, *The Liberator* and
James Gordon Bennett’s, *New York Herald*.  Garrison and Bennett, through
their papers, supported and criticized women’s rights by attacking the
other’s masculinity, though I plan to expand my evidence to other papers and
sources.

Please contact me off list at jbcrider@temple.edu if you are interested.
Also any one interested in volunteering for chair/commentator duties would
be greatly appreciated.
