  • Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs Unit Overview
    Women and Tennis Lesson 1: Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs Unit Overview: As students work through the activities in this unit they will be introduced to some important women in tennis. They will explore, through varied learning experiences, these women’s significance to the game of tennis, but more importantly their impact on the landscape of history. The activities that accompany this unit are geared towards the students’ multiple intelligences and will provide academic challenges at multiple levels of cognitive complexity while satisfying the goal of working towards mastery of grade appropriate common core standards of Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Form an understanding of the contribution that Alice Marble and Helen Hull Jacobs made to their sport in regards to the game of tennis and as women athletes in general. • Gain background knowledge through vocabulary activities and comprehension activities (such as guided questioning and using appropriate graphic organizers) about World War II and how Marble and Jacobs contributed to this time in history • Demonstrate what they have learned about Marble and Jacobs, their significance to the game, and their place in history by successfully completing guided questioning activities, group organizers, and by taking part in meaningful classroom discussions. Lesson Time Required: One hour or less Hall of Famer Alice Marble A woman of unmistakable glamour and athleticism, the striking Marble, wearing her familiar sun visor, altered the face of the women’s game. The first woman to play the serve-and-volley game, she demonstrated to the skeptics that it was indeed possible for a woman to master an aggressive, net-rushing style of play.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.
