My doctoral research will explore the lives of poor women, both black and white, to understand how economic crisisaltered their ability to contest and reshape the economic and political ideologies that constrained their gender. Thisproject asks how poor women interacted with ideas of domesticity, dependency and patriarchy, and how they negotiatedthem when capitalism was at its weakest. It asks if poor women's power changes in times of capitalist crisis and if thesechanges did occur, did they last. This is not to erase the poverty and exploitation capitalism brought to women across theUnited States during this period, but to suggest that women were only victims of capitalism would be a gross historicalinaccuracy. This is a study of poor women's response to the accelerated development of a cash-based market economy,and the crisis that came with it, both through women's exploitation, and their opportunities.

我的博士研究将探索贫困妇女的生活，包括黑人和白色，以了解经济危机如何改变她们的能力，以竞争和重塑限制她们性别的经济和政治意识形态。这个项目探讨了贫穷的妇女是如何与专制、依赖和父权制的观念相互作用的，以及她们是如何在资本主义最弱的时候与这些观念进行谈判的。它问的是，在资本主义危机时期，贫穷妇女的权力是否发生了变化，如果这些变化确实发生了，它们是否持续了。这并不是要消除这一时期资本主义给美国妇女带来的贫困和剥削，而是说妇女只是资本主义的受害者，这是一个严重的历史错误。这是一项关于贫穷妇女对以现金为基础的市场经济的加速发展以及随之而来的危机的反应的研究，这一危机既通过妇女的剥削，也通过她们的机会。
