Each of these thoroughly documented studies, drawing on multinational archival sources and, in all cases but one, on multiple language sources, provide models for state-of-the-art transnational feminist research practices. Oakley also explains her personal reasons for taking on this study in chapter one: her father, Richard Titmuss, became the head of the social welfare academic department at the London School of Economics in 1950, and the personnel changes that he directed swept women from the department ranks and installed male social policy-focused researchers in their places. In chapter eleven, "New Deals: Women Reformers in the 1920s and 1930s," Oakley extends her study beyond the Progressive Era to showcase women and their reform campaigns that continued to focus on social justice in their social, political, and international relations research and policy proposals and reformers who experienced new attacks from anticommunist conservatives who now labeled their reform campaigns as "dangerous" to the established political (and capitalist) order in Western states. Marino, assistant professor of history at University of California, Los Angeles, makes a strong case to challenge the misinformation that white women in the United States have historically been more advanced in their political rights and social status than women in other parts of the world, in particular Latin American women.
