  • Women's Studies
    A Guide to Historical Holdings in the Eisenhower Library WOMEN'S STUDIES Compiled by Barbara Constable April 1994 Guide to Women's Studies at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library While the 1940s may conjure up images of "Rosie the Riveter" and women growing produce in their Victory Gardens on the homefront, the 1950s may be characterized as the era of June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson--women comfortable in the roles of mother and wife in the suburban neighborhoods of that era. The public statements concerning women's issues made by President Dwight D. Eisenhower show him to be a paradox: "...we look to the women of our land to start education properly among all our citizens. We look to them, I think, as the very foundation--the greatest workmen in the field of spiritual development...We have come a long ways in recognizing the equality of women. Unfortunately, in some respects, it is not yet complete. But I firmly believe it will soon be so." (Remarks at the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington, October 18, 1956) "I cannot imagine a greater responsibility, a greater opportunity than falls to the lot of the woman who is the central figure in the home. They, far more than the men, remind us of the values of decency, of fair play, of rightness, of our own self-respect--and respecting ourselves always ready to respect others. The debt that all men owe to women is not merely that through women we are brought forth on this world, it is because they have done far more than we have to sustain and teach those ideals that make our kind of life worth while." (Remarks at Business and Professional Women Meeting, Detroit, Michigan, October 17, 1960) "Today there are 22 million working women.

One hundred years ago Howard Pyle wrote down the classic stories of King Arthur, Robin Hood and other legendary tales. His are considered to be of the most well-done versions of these tales. In this story, the youthful hero, Myles Falworth, is the son of a lord unjustly condemned for treason in the days of King Henry IV. How Myles grew as a knight is brought to life in this exciting story of chivalry and adventure! You may also read, Otto of the Silver Hand, also by Howard Pyle. Biography Choice Elizabeth Blackwell: A Doctor’s Triumph. Nancy Kline. The First Woman Doctor. Rachel Baker. Choose either one of these versions and read the inspiring story of the first woman doctor. It wasn’t easy for her in 1840 when she set out to become a doctor during a time when there were no women doctors in America. People laughed at her, played tricks on her, even threw things at her…but she pursued her dream! Classics from the Summer Reading List Little Women/Little Men – Louisa May Alcott The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie - George MacDonald If you read one of these or still want to read them, let Mrs. D. know. These are “anytime” books. Discussions will happen anytime! I plan to read the following book(s) by the week of November 26: • Men of Iron or Otto of the Silver Hand.

Ask students: “Have you ever pretended you were someone else? Why did you choose that person?” Do a picture book walk-through. Before you read the book to the class, have them closely examine the illustrations on each page. Discuss what is happening. Have students identify illustration details and explain what the details tell them about the story’s characters, settings, and events. Have students examine the cover of the book. Read the title. Discuss what they think the story will be about. Vocabulary In this book, students will encounter the following professions and historical fi gures. Using the biographical sketches provided by the book, acquaint the class with the following: Astronaut Sally Ride Sharpshooter Annie Oakley Activist Rosa Parks Scientist Marie Curie Doctor Elizabeth Blackwell Discussion Questions & Activities Readers Theater Now that students have read the book, performing it as a group is an effective way to improve comprehension. My Name Is Not Isabella is a perfect text for this activity because Isabella herself plays many different roles throughout the book. Identify the characters in the book and the personas Isabella assumes. NOTE: 1. If class size requires, use a different mother and Isabella for each scene. Alternatively, the instructor may play the mother in order to manage and prompt performers. 2. Transform the line “I am not Isabella...” to “She is not Isabella...” and have this line read by a chorus composed of class members not involved in the current scene.

Creative Commons License Introduction : Waging Health: Women in Nineteenth-Century American Wars 1 Introduction : Waging Health: Women in Nineteenth-Century American Wars Carmen Birkle and Justine Tally 1 Thinking of war from a U.S.-American perspective will almost immediately evoke associations of male soldiers fighting heroic battles for a good cause such as democracy and/or the liberation of people from dictatorships, tyrannies, and torture. However, as more detailed and on-site news coverage has increasingly shown, this vision is entirely too limited. Among many possible revisionist perspectives is that of those women who have been involved in wars from a medical point of view and have significantly changed the life of soldiers through their work as doctors, nurses and care-givers. Among the more well-known, the British nurse Florence Nightingale revolutionized nursing and hygiene in the nineteenth century so that for the first time during the Crimean War there would not be more soldiers who died of diseases and infections rather than on the battlefield; and the Jamaican “doctress” and nurse, Mary Seacole, ran a hotel and became a mother figure for many soldiers during the same war.
