States high schools today. Surveys of the most widely used American history textbooks repeatedly turn up the astonishing fact that these b6oks almost totally fieglect the lives and achievements of American" women. Althbugh the revival of a feminist rabvemea.in the 1960's and1970's,has resulted in a proliferation,of wamen's studies courses attfe college level and a flood of books dealing with the history of women, verylittl# of this material has been adapted'to the secondary school level,except) where,indivi,dual teachershave initiated courses of their own.- During the year in which r developed the series--a process that included visiting several schoolsand testing the material fn t1%e class- room--I realized that the average?' socialstudies classroom wail: ffected by the growing and much ptiblicized interest in women'sstudie)i he same standard textbooks wdre still being used, and no supplementary material on women seemed.to be available. (It should be said that some of the publishers of the venerable" textbooks are producing auxiliarypambhlets.on 4 American minority groups, among whom women are included, to supplement, . their standard fare.) When quizzed, few students were able to riame more than one outstandingl American woman who had lived before 1900. (Their response was usually Harriet Tubman; black studies hasmade its mark.) Most of,the teachers I worked with were eager to integrate material -on women into their American history courses andWere grateful for whatever material I could put directly into the hands of their studentd. Other teaChers were indSfferent and would be unlikely to teach such material unless they were directed to do so. The students were usUally venY interested, particularly in materiql_that presented women'as fightersfor 4 social justice, such as that relating to.theantislavery speakers of the. 1830's. As might pave been expected, womenitudents showed greater interest and enihusiasm than men. Yet the latter, even when openly.hostile to sOmen's claims fOt historical recognition, seemed stimulated by themateriai And eager; to engage in discussion.. I t . .. .i.- Each book in the series is a narrative of women's lives and'accomplish-_ ments within a significant epoch. of American history--an ewchnormally studied in the standard history'survey..There are, naturally, chapters devoted to women *No were famous in theirtiMe; although many of these women had been virtually forgotten uritil.the recentrevival of feminism. Often the more well-khown figures were reforiner --abolitionists, temperance wOrkers, crusaders for the mentally ill, etc.-- t,ak orm Wor4 being the.one public arena open to women, who were virtually barred from politibsbefore' the 20th century. Others earned fame and fortune in literary wOrk, since writing was traditionally one Of the few profedsions that could bepracticed at home. There is, of course,, considerableattention devoted to the women-- women's rights advocates, suffragists,'educators-whodedicated their lives to achieving,equality for women. w 1- L. I It would be distOrting women's history, nowever, to concentrate .exclusively on the famoustild the.'exceptional. Throughout otr nation's history, mqst'women, conforming tO widely held religious and social views: of their role, have lived anonymOus_lives as wives, AotherS and unsung workers. Therefore, I'have tried to devote roughly equal space to the lives and accomplishments of these "ordinary" women, whoe names were not _well known,..but whose experiences have, fortunately, been recorded in diaries, letters, newspaper pieces and ot,her documents that have been preserved.- I hope each book sufficiently stresses that women have always been a vital part of America's labor force. On fa'rms and in factories, women wexe tgere from the 'start: éXploited and invisible, but making the wheels go round. 'though thp important economic role of women seems obvious, it was not always fullly reeognized and vaj.ued, espeioially during erAs when it was popular to view the.ideal woman as a nonworker, except for domestic chores. Fpl- each epocA, I have tried to show what conditions-- economic, political, social and legal--advanced women toward equality with inen or retarded their progress in that direction.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information contact: March 23, 2021 Jamila Wicks C: 706-207-7836 [email protected] Illinois State Museum Announces Women's History Series and Trail Walk in the Footsteps of Illinois Women and Listen to Their Stories SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — As part of Women’s History Month, the Illinois State Museum (ISM) today announced the launch of its “In Her Footsteps Series” beginning this March through June. Each program in the series will occur online on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The series will feature Illinois women and their contributions to history, culture, and society. Its aim is to encourage Illinoisans to learn more about women’s history in their region and perhaps travel, virtually or in person, to learn more about their stories. “The ‘In Her Footsteps Series’ is a chance for the Illinois State Museum to tell stories of women who called Illinois home,” said ISM Director of Interpretation Jennifer Edginton. “We’re focusing on women whom you may have heard of before, but not sure how exactly you heard of them. We’re telling diverse stories that bring to life the dynamic history of Illinois.” Additionally, the Museum will include each of these women and other female historical figures on its new “In Her Footsteps Illinois Women’s History Trail” website scheduled to launch in May. The website will pinpoint locations across the state connected to women who have contributed to Illinois history. It will summarize each woman’s story and provide information on historic sites and markers that the public can visit.

  • Lillian Wald (1867 - 1940)
    Lillian Wald (1867 - 1940) Nursing is love in action, and there is no finer manifestation of it than the care of the poor and disabled in their own homes Lillian D. Wald was a nurse, social worker, public health official, teacher, author, editor, publisher, women's rights activist, and the founder of American community nursing. Her unselfish devotion to humanity is recognized around the world and her visionary programs have been widely copied everywhere. She was born on March 10, 1867, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the third of four children born to Max and Minnie Schwartz Wald. The family moved to Rochester, New York, and Wald received her education in private schools there. Her grandparents on both sides were Jewish scholars and rabbis; one of them, grandfather Schwartz, lived with the family for several years and had a great influence on young Lillian. She was a bright student, completing high school when she was only 15. Wald decided to travel, and for six years she toured the globe and during this time she worked briefly as a newspaper reporter. In 1889, she met a young nurse who impressed Wald so much that she decided to study nursing at New York City Hospital. She graduated and, at the age of 22, entered Women's Medical College studying to become a doctor. At the same time, she volunteered to provide nursing services to the immigrants and the poor living on New York's Lower East Side. Visiting pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled in their homes, Wald came to the conclusion that there was a crisis in need of immediate redress.

  • From Hostess to Political Surrogate: the Evolving Role of the First Lady of the United States
    Cultural and Religious Studies, ISSN 2328-2177 March 2014, Vol. 2, No. 3, 181-193 D DAVID PUBLISHING From Hostess to Political Surrogate: The Evolving Role of the First Lady of the United States Allison R. Levin, Esq Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA This paper investigates the evolution of the role of the first lady of the United States, which is of particular interest because of its non-constitutional and non-formal nature that has become one of the most prominent and visible non-paid positions in the world. The first lady’s responsibility has evolved from serving as a social hostess and a ceremonial presence at the side of the President, to serving as a spokeswoman for the country. More recently, in addition to her other duties, the first lady has acted as a political surrogate for the President. This study conducts a social movement rhetorical analysis, using the technique of discourse tracing, to examine how and why the culture of the office of the first lady has evolved. Finally, this study will add current political culture scholarship by investigating issues surrounding the 2016 presidential election. Keywords: politics, first Ladies, organizational culture, elections Introduction Prior to 1933 and the election of Franklin Roosevelt, the first lady was a non-essential member of the White House. The spouse of the President did not even have an official name or position for many years. These women were expected to fill traditional wifely roles including supporting their husbands, hosting parties, and being ready to make the President look good to the public.

    Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Multifaceted Response to the Nineteenth-Century Woman Question amy easton-flake Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/tneq/article-pdf/86/1/29/1793865/tneq_a_00256.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 N the decade following the American Civil War, the I renowned children of Lyman Beecher each took his or her own position along the broad spectrum of debate con- cerning woman suffrage. Henry Ward Beecher served as the first president of the American Woman Suffrage Association (estab. 1869); Isabella Beecher Hooker worked closely with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in the National Woman Suffrage Association (estab. 1869); Catharine Beecher helped found the first female-led antisuffrage association, the Anti-Sixteenth Amendment Society (estab. 1870); and Harriet Beecher Stowe, despite pressure from her siblings and other movement leaders and an obvious interest in the issue, re- mained aloof from all organized groups. In the absence of any definitive statement from her, each faction claimed her as an advocate. Between 1870 and 1871, for example, each organi- zation’s journal either listed Stowe as a contributor or quoted from her writings.1 In recent years, literary critics Josephine Donovan and Bar- bara A. White have investigated Stowe’s relation to suffrage 1Stanton listed both Isabella Beecher Hooker and Harriet Beecher Stowe as “prin- cipal contributors” (p. 397)inthe23 December 1869 Revolution, organ of the National Woman Suffrage Association, although Stowe never contributed a single piece of writ- ing to it.
