History Faculty Publications
This article offers a new reading of Germany’s complex political culture, exploring the contributions of pacifists, international feminists, and Social Democrats as proactive, yet marginalized, participants in Weimar-era politics.

The Soviet technical and managerial elite routinely engaged in a similar search for useful forms of industrial …
