GWD25-Q25 to 28

    

     In mid-February 1917 a women’s movement
independent of political affiliation erupted in New York
City, the stronghold of the Socialist party in the United states.
Protesting against the high cost of living, thousands of women refused to buy
chickens, fish, and vegetables. The boycott shut down much of the City’s
foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, riveting public attention on the issue of
food prices, which had increased partly as a result of increased exports of
food to Europe that had been occurring since
the outbreak of the First World War.

    

By early 1917 the
Socialist party had established itself as a major political presence in New York City. New York
Socialists, whose customary spheres of struggle were electoral work and trade
union organizing, seized the opportunity and quickly organized an extensive
series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct the women’s movement
toward Socialist goals. Underneath the Socialists’ brief commitment to
cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to the issue itself. While
some Socialists did view price protests as a direct step toward socialism, most
Socialists ultimately sought to divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative
channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through
which to combat the high cost of living. For others, cost-of-living or organizing
was valuable insofar as it led women into the struggle for suffrage, and
similarly, the suffrage struggle was valuable insofar as it moved United States
society one step closer to socialism.

    

Although New York’s Socialists
saw the cost-of-living issue as, at best, secondary or tertiary to the real
task at hand, the boycotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest
movement out of an
urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living
issue. A shared experience of swiftly declining living standards caused by
rising food prices drove these women to protest. Consumer organizing spoke directly
to their daily lives and concerns; they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in
itself. Food price protests were these women’s way of organizing at their own
workplace, as workers whose occupation was shopping and preparing food for their
families.
