Abstract

Scholars of the women's movement often postulate that it dissipated after winning suffrage in 1920, but empirical studies about the movement's post-victory transformation remain scarce. We use the first wave of the women's movement to explore the conditions under which movement frames change during periods of decline. Drawing on political opportunity theory, we hypothesize that waning political and cultural opportunities for collective action should lead to a rise in individualist frames. To that end, we examine how a prominent movement organization's use of collectivist versus individualist frames changed over time. We conducted a systematic analysis of 1,735 articles from the feminist publication The Woman's Journal, spanning the pre- and post-suffrage period (1910-1930). Our analyses generally support the political opportunity framework, suggesting that trends towards individualization emerge during periods of diminishing political and cultural opportunities, which in turn challenge movements' ability ...

走自己的路:第一波女性主义的个体化，1910-1930

研究妇女运动的学者经常假设，在1920年赢得选举权后，妇女运动就消失了，但关于妇女运动胜利后转变的实证研究仍然很少。我们用第一波妇女运动来探索运动框架在衰退时期变化的条件。根据政治机会理论，我们假设集体行动的政治和文化机会的减少应该导致个人主义框架的兴起。为此，我们研究了一个著名的运动组织对集体主义和个人主义框架的使用是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。我们系统地分析了1735篇来自女权主义刊物《妇女杂志》(the Woman’s Journal)的文章，涵盖了选举权之前和之后的时期(1910-1930)。我们的分析总体上支持政治机会框架，表明个性化趋势出现在政治和文化机会减少的时期，这反过来又挑战了运动的能力……

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
