Abstract

“Familles lyonnaises”, “haute société de Lyon”, “personnalités marquantes de la ville” : le Tout- Lyon Annuaire hésite lui-même au fil de ses éditions successives, entre ces différentes manières de qualifier les quelques milliers de personnes qui figurent dans sa liste mondaine. Le sociologue et l’historien parleront-ils plutôt d’élites, de couches dominantes, de bourgeoisie ? Quelles continuités, quelles évolutions peut-on observer dans les professions exercées, dans le jeu des alliances, dans les lieux de résidence, et aussi dans le recrutement des nouveaux inscrits ? C'est à ces questions que l’ouvrage tente de répondre en faisant à son tour les comptes d’un annuaire qui donne régulièrement à ces familles du “Tout-Lyon”, depuis le début de notre siècle, les moyens de se repérer et de se compter.

Abstract

The daughter of one of Britain's longest-serving Prime Ministers, Mary Gladstone was a notable musician, hostess of one of the most influential political salons in late-Victorian London, and probably the first female prime ministerial private secretary in Britain. Pivoting around Mary's initiatives, this intellectual history draws on a trove of unpublished archival material that reveals for the first time the role of music in Victorian liberalism, explores its intersections with literature, recovers what the high Victorian salon was within a wider cultural history, and shows Mary's influence on her father's work. Paying close attention to literary and biographical details, the book also sheds new light on Tennyson's poetry, George Eliot's fiction, the founding of the Royal College of Music, the Gladstone family, and a broad plane of wider British culture, including political liberalism and women, sociability, social theology, and aesthetic democracy.

Abstract

New York City’s elite women who turned a feminist cause into a fashionable revolution In the early twentieth century over two hundred of New York's most glamorous socialites joined the suffrage movement. Their names—Astor, Belmont, Rockefeller, Tiffany, Vanderbilt, Whitney and the like—carried enormous public value. These women were the media darlings of their day because of the extravagance of their costume balls and the opulence of the French couture clothes, and they leveraged their social celebrity for political power, turning women's right to vote into a fashionable cause.Although they were dismissed by critics as bored socialites “trying on suffrage as they might the latest couture designs from Paris,” these gilded suffragists were at the epicenter of the great reforms known collectively as the Progressive Era. From championing education for women, to pursuing careers, and advocating for the end of marriage, these women were engaged with the swirl of change that swept through the streets of New York City. Johanna Neuman restores these women to their rightful place in the story of women’s suffrage. Understanding the need for popular approval for any social change, these socialites used their wealth, power, social connections and style to excite mainstream interest and to diffuse resistance to the cause. In the end, as Neuman says, when change was in the air, these women helped push women’s suffrage over the finish line.
