Five publications related to James Brown Scott (1866-1943), an authority on international law, who became involved with Doris Stevens and the National Woman's Party during the late 1920s. As the NWP expanded its scope to include an international recognition of equal rights for women, Scott, who'd already worked in the international peace movement, was promulgating a new standard of nationalism that included "the adoption of nationality rules based on full individual equality" (Amorosa, p. 286). The publications below focus on this intersection and at least two of them were originally published in "Equal Rights," the National Woman's Party's magazine. Scott became Doris Stevens' law teacher and mentor at Columbia and they maintained a very close working relationship in the fight for equal rights.
