VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT: DOROTHY SUE COBBLEadmin2022-07-11T10:23:19-04:00

THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Dorothy Sue Cobble

“When I became more involved in the labor movement, I saw myself as a feminist. But I also saw myself as somebody who was concerned with the particular issues of working-class and poor women and the ways their emancipation required a different set of priorities and policies than the emancipation of their more privileged sisters.”

Historian. Author. Activist.  A leading writer on feminism, working women’s movements, and politics. Distinguished Professor Emerita of History and Labor Studies, Rutgers University. Founder of the Center for Women and Work, Rutgers University. BA, University of California at Berkeley; PhD, Stanford University.

Interviewed by Judy Waxman, January 2022
