This book is an intellectual biography of Eleanor Baldwin, a long-forgotten radical female journalist whose daily women's columns provide a window into the breadth of intellectual radicalism in Progressive Era journalism, ranging from the spiritual to the political and economic. Her intellectual trajectory brings together what appear to be incongruous political positions, including abolition, monetary radicalism, labor reform, and simultaneous support for Bolshevism and the Ku Klux Klan.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Eleanor Baldwin and the Woman's Point of View is an intellectual biography of a long-forgotten radical female journalist in Portland, whose daily women's columns provide a window into the breadth of intellectual radicalism in Progressive Era journalism. Baldwin was one of an early generation of female journalists who were hired to lure female readers to the daily newspaper's department store advertisements. Instead of catering to the demands of consumerism, Baldwin quickly brought an anti-capitalist, anti-racist agenda to her daily column, "The Woman's Point of View," in which she eschewed household hints and instead focused on the immorality of capitalists and imperialists while emphasizing the need for women to become independent and productive citizens. A century before the Occupy movement and the women's march, Baldwin spoke truth to power. Imbued with a New Thought spirituality that presumed progressive thought could directly affect material reality, she wrote to move history forward. And yet, the trajectory of history proved as hard to forecast then as now. While her personal and familial history seem to embody a modern progressivism, blending abolition with labor reform and anti-banker activism - positions from which she never wavered -- her path grew more complicated as times changed in the aftermath of World War I, when she would advocate on behalf of both the Bolsheviks and the Ku Klux Klan. In this deeply researched and nuanced account of Eleanor Baldwin's intellectual journey, Lipin reveals how even the most dedicated radical can be overcome and perhaps confused by unforeseen events. Eleanor Baldwin and the Woman's Point of View restores a missing chapter in Portland's Progressive Era history and rescues this passionate, intriguing, and quixotic character from undeserved obscurity.
