Did you wear the clothes and shoes of someone older and bigger than you? While in costume, did you pretend that you were already a grown-up? Like me, perhaps you remember watching the older the kids play? Friends even a year older than I possessed more stature in my mind. The older kids’ mature behavior sometimes seemed more attractive to me than the silly games that my friends and I were playing. If this scenario sounds familiar, then you, like me, began identifying role models at a young age. Junior League founders long ago recognized that this very act of emulating positive role models was central component of the Junior League and captured it within our mission as “…developing the potential of women.” I can confirm that this practice is alive and well today and is part of what makes our organization so unique. My list of JLNO role models grows by the day. A committee chair creates a vital project from Photo By: Jessica Bachmann a simple idea. An advisor counsels us on an organizational challenge without a fee for her serv- ice. A child smiles because he received an unexpected holiday gift this year. A novice writer cre- ates a story in this very publication. Two Provisional members meet at a Bloomin’ Deals shift and become lifelong friends. These are all reasons that the Junior League of New Orleans con- tinues to inspire a lifetime love of nonprofit work for our members. As JLNO’s President, I have been humbled by the responsibility and privilege of “playing dress up” this year. I am always inspired and enriched by the many members who model the admirable trait of working as hard in their volunteer roles as they do in their professional or familial roles. Each Spring, JLNO recognizes the efforts of one of her own members by bestowing the title of “Sustainer of the Year” on a woman who has worked tirelessly to fulfill Junior League’s mis- sion of “…improving communities.” The accomplishments of this deserving individual read like a “how to” manual for those with goals of improving the lives of those around them. We thank Claire Ferrier Stahel for being an outstanding JLNO role model. If you have not yet found a JLNO role model, then know she is out there waiting for you. You can choose from a long list of honored women or from a quiet leader recognized only by you. In this role model, you will find a friend who also shares a commitment to the JLNO mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the communi- ties through the effective action of trained volunteers.

Ninety years ago 40 visionary women set forth to create an organization dedicated to improving New Orleans and providing education and training to women. Since the inception of JLNO, thousands of women have been members and their ideas have led to effective change in this city. I am extremely proud to be a member of the Junior League of New Orleans. To be in the company of such amazing women is an honor. In preparing for this momentous issue, my staff and I, with the assistance of Archivist Chair Lenora Costa, delved into the archives of JLNO and scoured websites for the history of the Junior League (now known as the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. or AJLI) and The Junior League of New Orleans. From the beginning, JLNO members developed inventive and impactful projects, dedicated hours of volunteer service and generous monetary support solely for the betterment of the city they loved.

  • Mary Harriman Rumsey, Beta Epsilon, Founded the First Junior League Chapter in New York in 1901

    March 2011 March has been designated as Women’s History Month. Who are some notable Kappas of whom we should be aware? Mary Harriman Rumsey, Beta Epsilon, founded the first Junior League chapter in New York in 1901. Since its founding, the organization has spread to virtually every large city in the United States. Inspired by a lecture on the settlement movement, Mary, along with several friends, began volunteering at the College Settlement on Rivington Street in New York City's Lower East Side, a large immigrant enclave. Through her work at the College Settlement, Mary became convinced that there was more she could do to help others. Subsequently, Mary and a group of 80 debutantes established the Junior League for the Promotion of Settlement Movements in 1901, while she was still a student at Barnard College. The purpose of the Junior League was to unite interested debutantes in joining the Settlement Movement in New York City. As word of the work of the young Junior League women in New York spread, women throughout the country and beyond formed Junior Leagues in their communities. In time, Leagues would expand their efforts beyond settlement house work to respond to the social, health and educational issues of their respective communities. In 1921, approximately 30 Leagues banded together to form the Association of Junior Leagues of America to provide support to one another. With the creation of the Association, it was Mary who insisted that, although it was important for all Leagues to learn from one another and share best practices, each League was ultimately beholden to their respective community and should thus function to serve that community’s needs.

    The Ghost in the Machine: Frances Perkins' Refusal to Accept Marginalization

    THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE: FRANCES PERKINS’ REFUSAL TO ACCEPT MARGINALIZATION A THESIS in History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas city in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS By Patrick French B.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 Kansas City, Missouri 2014 © 2014 PATRICK FRENCH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE: FRANCES PERKINS’ REFUSAL TO ACCEPT MARGINALIZATION Patrick French, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2014 ABSTRACT Frances Perkins was the United States Secretary of Labor from 1933-1945, yet she has received little attention from historians. There are countless works that study President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s years in office, but Perkins’ achievements have yet to enter the mainstream debate of New Deal scholarship. Perkins did not “assist” with the New Deal; she became one of the chief architects of its legislation and a champion of organized labor. Ever mindful of her progressive mentor, Florence Kelley, Perkins stared her reform work at Jane Addams’ Hull House in Chicago. By the end of FDR’s tenure as president, the forty-hour workweek became standard, child labor was abolished, and she was instrumental in the work-relief programs under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), the popular Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and most notably Section 7a of the National Industrial Recovery Administration that allowed for collective bargaining for organized labor. FDR’s controversial appointment marked the first time a female had attained such a powerful position in government, and she wrestled with cross-sections of class, gender, and ethnicity during her tenure as FDR’s Labor Secretary.
