| Abstract | This paper will explore the connections between gender and ethnicity. It will look at the ways in which women, as members of their own clubs and organizations, actively shaped the production of a collective identity for their ethnic group. And, by analyzing what women actually did and why they did it, it will examine the notions of femininity that were at the heart of Milwaukee German-American's understanding of their ethnicity. Discusses four examples of women's organizational activism in Milwaukee: Ladies auxiliaries of Turner societies, Freethinkers, and political and labor organizations. |
