Hill June 2009 © 2009 Sheryl K. Hill. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled “Until I Have Won” Vestiges of Coverture and the Invisibility of Women in the Twentieth Century: A Biography of Jeannette Ridlon Piccard by SHERYL K. HILL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Katherine K. Jellison Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HILL, SHERYL K. Ph.D., June 2009, History “Until I Have Won” Vestiges of Coverture and the Invisibility of Women in the Twentieth Century: A Biography of Jeannette Ridlon Piccard (409 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Katherine K. Jellison For women, the passage of secular and ecclesiastical laws to ban overt forms of discrimination and open corporate and cultural opportunities is a necessary step toward the full inclusion in society. However, even as American women’s legal standing improved throughout the 20th century, they encountered subtle forms of discrimination: vestiges of 19th century coverture. Jeannette Ridlon Piccard’s life (1895-1981) uniquely illustrates the struggles during the 20th century for women in the spheres of citizenship, science and religion, particularly the Anglican tradition. Piccard was not “protected” by her husband’s citizenship; she was not “protected” from the rigors of science; nor was she “protected” from the rigors of religion.
