"DEAR LOVE, DEAR LOVE"

Feminist Pragmatism and the Chicago Female World of Love and Ritual

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The history of women in sociology is explored here through the correspondence written by Sophonisba P. Breckinridge to Marion Talbot in the summer of 1936. Their loving letters reveal the ideas and practices of feminist pragmatism and the female world of love and ritual located in Chicago in the twentieth century. This world of professional women flourished around the social settlement Hull House and the University of Chicago during the founding years of sociology. Their lives and social thought challenge our understanding of the emergence of sociology at the University of Chicago, and their ideas remain a rich resource for analyzing society today.
