Emily Taylor, Dean of Women EMILY TAYLOR, DEAN OF WOMEN: INTERGENERATIONAL ACTIVISM AND THE WOMEN‟S MOVEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS by KELLY C. SARTORIUS B.A., Kansas State University, 1993 B.A., Wichita State University, 1994 M.A., University of Maryland, 1996 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians have often linked the route of the second wave of the women‟s movement on college campuses with the development of women‟s liberation as young women involved in the New Left came to feminist consciousness working in civil rights and anti-Vietnam protests. This dissertation considers a “longer, quieter” route to feminist consciousness on a college campus by considering the role of a dean of women, Dr. Emily Taylor, at the University of Kansas between 1956 and 1974. Through her office that centered on women‟s affairs, Taylor used the student personnel and counseling profession to instigate the dissolution of parietals at KU, a project that has long been associated with New Left student protests. A liberal feminist committed to incremental change to benefit women‟s equal status in society, Taylor structured her office to foster feminist consciousness in undergraduate students, and provided staff support to New Left and radical women‟s groups as they emerged on the KU campus. As a result, the intergenerational exchange that occurred within the KU dean of women‟s office illustrates one example of how liberal and radical feminists interacted to foster social change within an institution of higher learning. The projects undertaken within her office illustrate that these seemingly separate groups of women overlapped, collaborated, and sometimes clashed as they worked toward achieving feminist goals. Her career at KU also shows that the metaphor of a first and second wave of the women‟s movement may not be an accurate picture of the growth of feminism on co-educational campuses. Little scholarly work exists on the role of deans of women in higher education, or regarding women college students in the years immediately following World War II. This dissertation adds to the literature in both areas, showing that in the case of KU the administration was not a monolithic obstacle to student protest, the New Left, civil rights, and feminism. Instead, Taylor as dean of women pushed initiatives that bore on all of these areas. While Taylor is one example, her career illustrates patterns in deans of women‟s activities that deserve further study and consideration.

  • A History of the Conferences of Deans of Women, 1903-1922
    A HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCES OF DEANS OF WOMEN, 1903-1922 Janice Joyce Gerda A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2004 Committee: Michael D. Coomes, Advisor Jack Santino Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen M. Broido Michael Dannells C. Carney Strange ii „ 2004 Janice Joyce Gerda All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael D. Coomes, Advisor As women entered higher education, positions were created to address their specific needs. In the 1890s, the position of dean of women proliferated, and in 1903 groups began to meet regularly in professional associations they called conferences of deans of women. This study examines how and why early deans of women formed these professional groups, how those groups can be characterized, and who comprised the conferences. It also explores the degree of continuity between the conferences and a later organization, the National Association of Deans of Women (NADW). Using evidence from archival sources, the known meetings are listed and described chronologically. Seven different conferences are identified: those intended for deans of women (a) Of the Middle West, (b) In State Universities, (c) With the Religious Education Association, (d) In Private Institutions, (e) With the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, (f) With the Southern Association of College Women, and (g) With the National Education Association (also known as the NADW). Each of the conferences is analyzed using seven organizational variables: membership, organizational structure, public relations, fiscal policies, services and publications, ethical standards, and affiliations. Individual profiles of each of 130 attendees are provided, and as a group they can be described as professional women who were both administrators and scholars, highly-educated in a variety of disciplines, predominantly unmarried, and active in social and political causes of the era.

    HOOSIER WOMEN AT WORK STUDIES IN INDIANA WOMEN’S HISTORY Session 8: College Women at Work March 2016 Leading Hoosier Women in Wartime: How Kate Hevner Mueller Prepared Collegiate Coeds for World War II KAREN WOOD* Speaking at a senior sorority breakfast in the spring of 1942, Dean Kate Hevner Mueller advised these young women to “take more interest in current affairs, in economic conditions, social progress, in labor problems, in political matters, know history, read books, read the papers (not funnies or headlines), differentiate truth from propaganda, know your senators, and what they stand for.”1 If nothing else, she told them to vote. Mueller knew she had a chance with these women to encourage them to go forward with their lives as not only career women, but also as intelligent citizens in the United States. Kate Hevner was born in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, in 1898. Her father was a minister and her mother was a schoolteacher.2 Upon graduating high school, she attended Wilson College, first studying English before switching to psychology, her true passion.3 She earned her master’s degree from Columbia University in New York City, and her PhD from the University of Chicago in 1928. While she was at the University of Oregon, researching the Aesthetics of Art, she met her future husband, John Mueller.4 It was after his acceptance of an *Karen Wood is Staff Historian at Green3, LLC.
