  • Illinois State Museum Announces Women'
    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.

    4.12 The Role of Political Protest Standard 4.12: The Role of Political Protest Examine the role of political protest in a democracy. (Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T4.12] FOCUS QUESTION: What are the Different Ways That Political Protest Happens in a Democracy? Building Democracy for All 1 Rosa Parks being fingerprinted by Deputy Sheriff D.H. Lackey after being arrested for boycotting public transportation, Montgomery, Alabama, February, 1956 Public domain photograph from The Plain Dealer newspaper The right to protest is essential in a democracy. It is a means for people to express dissatisfaction with current situations and assert demands for social, political, and economic change. Protests make change happen and throughout the course of United States history it has taken sustained protests over long periods of time to bring about substantive change in governmental policies and the lives of people. Protest takes political courage as well, the focal point of Standard 4.11 in this book. The United States emerged from American protests against England’s colonial rule. Founded in 1765, the Sons of Liberty and the Daughters of Liberty organized protests against what they Building Democracy for All 2 considered to be unfair British laws. In 1770, the Boston Massacre happened when British troops fired on protestors.

  • The Civil War in the American Ruling Class
    tripleC 16(2): 857-881, 2018 http://www.triple-c.at The Civil War in the American Ruling Class Scott Timcke Department of Literary, Cultural and Communication Studies, The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Abstract: American politics is at a decisive historical conjuncture, one that resembles Gramsci’s description of a Caesarian response to an organic crisis. The courts, as a lagging indicator, reveal this longstanding catastrophic equilibrium. Following an examination of class struggle ‘from above’, in this paper I trace how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. Using this hegemony, I argue that one can see the prospect of American Caesarism being institutionally entrenched via judicial appointments at the Supreme Court of the United States and other circuit courts. Keywords: Gramsci, Caesarism, ruling class, United States, hegemony Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to Rick Gruneau, Mariana Jarkova, Dylan Kerrigan, and Mark Smith for comments on an earlier draft. Thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers – the work has greatly improved because of their contributions. A version of this article was presented at the Local Entanglements of Global Inequalities conference, held at The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine in April 2018. 1. Introduction American politics is at a decisive historical juncture. Stalwarts in both the Democratic and the Republican Parties foresee the end of both parties. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president”, George W. Bush said as he recoiled at the actions of the Trump Administration (quoted in Baker 2017).

  • “Happy Housewives”: Sisters in the Struggle for Women's Rights
    This is a student project that received either a grand prize or an honorable mention for the Kirmser Undergraduate Research Award. “Happy Housewives”: Sisters in the Struggle for Women’s Rights Emily Wilson Date Submitted: April 24, 2016 Kirmser Award Kirmser Undergraduate Research Award – Individual Non-Freshman, honorable mention How to cite this manuscript If you make reference to this paper, use the citation: Wilson, E. (2016). “Happy Housewives”: Sisters in the Struggle for Women’s Rights. Retrieved from http://krex.ksu.edu Abstract & Keywords ““Happy Housewives”: Sisters in the Struggle for Women’s Rights” discusses social advancement from the perspective of an often unacknowledged group of people, the domestic and motherly “happy housewives”, who played a unique and unexpectedly important role in the progress of the Women’s Rights Movement in the 19th century. This paper argues that the women who prescribed to the ideology of separate spheres—that man had his place in society and woman had hers in the home—though often belittled, were essential to the progress of the Women’s Rights Movement. While outspoken suffragettes paraded the streets and outwardly protested for women’s rights, the “happy housewives” expanded women’s influence and societal distinction in subtle but significant ways that changed women’s role in the United States forever. Primary sources that support this claim include personal accounts and letters from “happy housewives”, sermons on the subject of women’s role in society, articles published in ladies’ magazines by and for the “happy housewives”, speeches, newspaper publications, cookbooks, and teachers’ guides. Keywords: Women’s Rights Movement, domestic sphere, ideology of separate spheres, women’s role, Industrial Revolution, United States Course Information School: Kansas State University Semester: Spring 2016 Course Title: Advanced Seminar in History Course Number: HIST 586 Instructor: Dr.
