    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The survey resulted in the expansion and updating of an earlier survey project that documented the vast repertoire of the Town’s historic resources. The 2014-2015 survey prepared documentation and photography of a variety of historic properties of diverse uses and styles spanning the centuries of the development of the community, from the Colonial era into the post-World War Two decades. The Town of Old Saybrook received support for this important historic preservation project from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, with funding from the Community Investment Act of the State of Connecticut. We particularly thank Mary Dunne, Survey and Planning Grants Coordinator and Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer for the Department’s historic preservation program for her guidance throughout the project.

Fields: The Rhetorical Discourse Surrounding Female Intersex Athletes THE RHETORICAL DISCOURSE SURROUNDING FEMALE INTERSEX ATHLETES Victoria T. Fields Dr. Dennis O’Grady, Mentor ABSTRACT For decades, female intersex athletes have been ostracized by professional sport organizations due to their androgynous or masculine physiques. These athletes have experienced backlash from sports fans and competitors due to the assumption that they are men masquerading as women, or that they have gained unfair advantages in competition through the use of testosterone (Schweinbenz & Cronk, 2010). Negative media coverage has led to some of these athletes being required to undergo sex verifcation tests and/or suspensions by the International Olympic Committee (IOC; Elsas et al., 2000). This study explores the rhetorical discourse surrounding female intersex athletes in professional athletic settings, using a case study analysis of a number of professional athletes. The study will examine the derogatory and harmful rhetoric used against female intersex athletes and discuss how these messages have affected their professional image and impacted the public’s perception of intersex athletes in international competition.

The previous year she had been stripped of the silver medal she won in the 800 metres at the Asian Games. The reason: she had failed a gender test. 1 It is not known if the two events were linked but two years later the issue of gender testing would be given greater prominence following the victory of the South African Caster Semenya in the women’s 800 metres at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. As questions were raised over the exact status of her sex, people asked whether it was ‘fair’ that she should be competing against other female athletes. It is ironic, as Vanessa Heggie has pointed out, that whereas there are probably hundreds of genetic variations that lead to ‘unfair’ advantages in sport, ‘only those associated with gender are used to exclude or disqualify athletes’.

  • Maria L. Sanford Given by Minnesota to the National Statuary Hall Collection
    Maria L. Sanford Given by Minnesota to the National Statuary Hall Collection Maria sanford was born in Saybrook, Connecticut, on December 19, 1836. Her love for education began early; at the age of 16 she was already teaching in county day schools. She graduated from Connecticut Normal School, using her dowry funds for tuition. She rose in the ranks of local and national educators, becoming principal and superintendent of schools in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and serving as professor of history at Swarthmore College from 1871 to 1880. She was one of the fi rst women named to a college professorship. When the University of Minnesota asked her to join its faculty , she did so enthusiastically. During her tenure at the university (1880–1909) Sanford was a professor of rhetoric and elocution, and she lectured on literature and art history. She was a champion of women’s rights, supported the education of blacks, pioneered the concept of adult education, and became a founder of parent- teacher organizations. Sanford was also a leader in the conservation and beautifi cation program of her new state. She traveled throughout the United States delivering more than 1000 patriotic speeches, the most famous being the powerful address “An Apostrophe to the Flag,” that she delivered at a national Daughters of the American Revolution convention. She died on April 21, 1920, at the age of 83. In June of that year the University of Minnesota held a memorial convocation in her honor.
