  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

  • Adventure Into the Past, a Search for Colorado's Mining Camps
    ADVENTURE INTO THE PAST 11 Adventure Into the Past, A Search For Colorado's Mining Camps MURIEI... SIBELL \Y OLLE'::· In 1926, when I came to Colorado from the East, I bad never heard of a ghost town, but on one of my first mountain drives I was shown Central City and was told something of its history. I had always been interested in architecture, and the skeletal shell of the once booming town fascinated me. I liked the Victorian houses, set tidily along the streets; the few active stores flanked by many empty ones; the rusty mills, and the rows of deserted buildings perched high above Eureka Gulch. Central City was not entirely deserted, in fact it never has been; but so little of its former glory remained that the footsteps of those living in it echoed loudly on the board sidewalks, and at night only an occasional window showed a lighted interior. The place was full of echoes, and memories, and history, and I felt strangely stirred by it. Here was a piece of the Old West, a tangible witness of Colorado's pioneering achievement. It was disappearing fast; it was important, it should be preserved; it challenged me. Someone should record it before it decayed or was "restored" to twentieth century needs. 'l'he place itself seemed to cry out for a pictorial rendering and I determined then and there to try my hand at it and to return in September to sketch the streets and individual buildings. Furthermore, I decided to return again and again until I had Central City on paper.

  • Women Physicians and the Politics and Practice of Medicine in the American West, 1870-1930
    Medical Frontiers: Women Physicians and the Politics and Practice of Medicine in the American West, 1870-1930 by Jacqueline D. Antonovich A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexandra Minna Stern, Co-chair Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Co-chair Professor Anna Kirkland Professor Matthew D. Lassiter Professor Martin Pernick Jacqueline D. Antonovich [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-6295-7735 © Jacqueline D. Antonovich 2018 For my younger self. A single mother, working as a waitress, with only an associate degree in hand. You are my inspiration every day. ii Acknowledgements Years ago, when I decided to return to school to finish my bachelor’s degree, I never imagined that the journey would end with a Ph.D. I want to thank the History Department at the University of Michigan for taking a chance on me, and I also want to encourage them to keep taking chances on students like me – first-generation, non-traditional students bring a valuable and much-needed perspective to the academy. Alexandra Minna Stern is a phenomenal advisor. Her scholarly insight and professional mentorship has made this dissertation a stronger project, and I am a better historian because of her. My dissertation co-chair, Regina Morantz Sanchez, provided unwavering support over the past seven years. She has always taken my claims about the importance of medical women’s politics seriously, and graciously opened up both her home and her archives to me. Martin Pernick taught me not only how to be a pretty good medical historian, but also how to be an excellent teacher.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

Take some interesting people, add in a little adventure, some love, or even some hate; put it all in an interesting place, and maybe an interesting time, and you’ve got a story fit for an opera. Opera is drama. Take the story you’ve chosen and put the words into dialogue for actors to say. Tell the story in a creative way and add in some heroes and heroines or queens and kings. Maybe a monster—or four. Make sure there is a clear conflict in the story that the characters must overcome. Put your actors in costumes and makeup, and put them on a stage with some great scenery in order to illuminate the characters. Opera is music. Write some fantastic music for your play. Instead of having the actors speak, have them sing…everything! When they get really happy or mad, have them sing high and loud! When they are trying to express an important emotion, let them sing something longer to show off a little.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE P U Blished Bi-Monthly by the St Ate Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE P u blished bi-monthly by The St ate Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXIV De nve r, Colorado, May, 1947 No. 3 Brinton Terr ace EnaAR C. McMECHEN Sixty-five years ago the Queen Anne facade of Brinton Tenace, extending from the alley in the rear of Trinity Metho­ dist Church to the corner of East Eighteenth Avenue and Lincoln Street, al'ose as an architectural landmark in Denver. To Oscar Wilde has been attributed many times the remark, "Brinton 'l'errace is the only artistic building in Denver"; a saying that might easily have been true in the early eighties. Today, Brinton Terrace is dwarfed by the large hotel struc­ tures nearby; yet, in its romantic and colorful background, this shrine of Denver's cultural growth to"·ers high above most other buildings on the city's historical sky line-one of those "memor­ ials and things of fame that do renmYn our city.'' Brinton Terrace is one of the few historl.cally important buildings still standing in Denver. Sturdy and staunch, the archi­ tectural character of the building has never been altered by the mvners. · Today, as it has been for the last forty years, the Terrace is still a studio retreat for the Muses. Often called "Denver's Greenwich Village,'' the quaint, gabled roof has sheltered the city's only true Bohemian Center. \Vhen asked who have lived there many residents may say: "Oh, almost everybody who ever amounted to anything." While this is obvious hyperbole, it is trne that, had Brinton Terrace been located on the Atlantic seaboard, where historical traditions are considered irnpol'tant, the building might now .bea;' some bronze memorial plaques.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Hal Sayre
    THE COLO R ADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXXIX Denver, Colorado, July, 1962 Number 3 Hal Sayre---Fifty-Niner By ROBERT H. SAYRE* "When he died it was written of Hal Sayre that he was 'a man whose life encompassed the story of Colorado.' From the June day in 1859 when he crossed the plains in a prairie schooner ... until December of 1926, when death came to him ... Hal Sayre was a liv­ ing, planning, working part of the Old West."-Robert L. Chase. Thomas Sayre, founder of the family in America, came from Bedfordshire, in England. Entries in the records of the 13th Century church at Leighton Buzzard indicate that the family lived there, or thereabouts, for several centuries. Ac­ cording to these records, which are still available, Thomas was baptized there in 1597. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the record until 1639, when Thomas again appears in the rec­ ords of Lynn, Massachusetts, as one of the founders of that community. In this interim, just why, how, or exactly when he immigrated to the New World is not known. My father did some research of his own, and arrived at the date of 1612, through records which are not available to me, landing in Jamestown, Virginia. I think father got this from the Genea­ logical Library in Boston, Massachusetts. In any event, it is understood that Thomas and his brother Job preceded the Pilgrims, and it is rather likely that they did not get along with these Puritanical gentlemen. The family is said to have been French originally, and to have fled to England very soon after the massacre of St.
