This article explores the emergence of women in the United States as a liberal voting group in the 1980s and the impact of this development on the power of liberalism, amid the Reagan revolution – an era often viewed as the apogee of conservatism. As the Republican party shifted in a more conservative direction in the 1980s, gender started to correlate with partisan preference/election outcomes in enough contests to give credence to the belief that women were becoming a decidedly liberal voting bloc. Contemporaneously, the equality-seeking movements of the 1960s and 1970s began institutionalizing their operations and exploiting these demographic shifts, becoming more entrenched than ever within the internal politics of the Democratic party. The National Organization for Women (NOW), the largest liberal women's group, proved to be particularly successful in this respect. Therefore, by presenting substantial archival evidence that liberal politicians and organizations remained a dynamic political force during the 1980s, this article details the growing organizational prowess of NOW and examines how liberals resisted the conservative challenge to fashion a political approach suited to the ‘Reagan Era’.

全国妇女组织和民主政党

本文探讨了里根革命(通常被视为保守主义最高潮的时代)中,妇女在1980年代作为自由投票团体在美国的崛起以及这种发展对自由主义力量的影响。随着共和党在1980年代朝着更加保守的方向转变,在足够多的比赛中,性别开始与党派的偏好/选举结果相关联,从而使人们相信妇女已成为绝对自由的投票集团。同时,1960年代和1970年代的寻求平等运动开始将其运作制度化,并利用这些人口变化,在民主党内部政治中比以往任何时候都更加根深蒂固。最大的自由妇女组织全国妇女组织(NOW),在这方面被证明是特别成功的。因此,通过提供大量的档案证据,表明自由政治家和组织在1980年代仍然是一支充满活力的政治力量,本文详细介绍了NOW日益增长的组织能力,并考察了自由主义者如何抵制保守挑战,以形成一种适合“里根时代”的政治方法。 。
