  • Margaret Shanks, Nurse to Susan B. Anthony Exploring the Extraordinary in the “Ordinary” Nurse
    Advances in Nursing Science Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 43–54 Copyright c 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Margaret Shanks, Nurse to Susan B. Anthony Exploring the Extraordinary in the “Ordinary” Nurse Elaine Sorensen Marshall, PhD, RN This historical effort explores the life and professional practice of the relatively unknown nurse who attended the well-known suffragist Susan B. Anthony during the last months of her life. It examines nursing practice in the United States at the end of the 19th century through the life and voice of this nurse. The study affirms the value in social history of understanding ordinary lives and practice of nurses. It analyzes the professional, personal, and social inter- actions between nurse and patient that change each, all within a most significant historical, social, and political context. Key words: history of nursing, Margaret Shanks, Susan B. Anthony EAR the bedroom in Susan B. An- those present at her death “her two faithful Nthony’s house on 17 Madison Street in nurses, Miss M. A.

  • Susan B. 2020
    Susan B. __________________________ A full-length play By Daphne White Contact: Daphne White 2107 Sacramento Street Berkeley, CA 94702 301-704-2860 [email protected] ©2019 SUSAN B. Synopsis Susan B. was a fierce fighter who refused to let anything stand in her way: not the gun- toting mobs who burned her in effigy, not the blinding snowstorms that kept male speakers at home, and not the newspaper editors who tried to deny her free speech. A Quaker and abolitionist, Susan B. had the outlandish notion that women and men were created equal. But in a world where women were considered the property of their husbands even after the slaves were freed, Susan B. had to make gut-wrenching choices. Should she support the Fifteenth Amendment, which offered suffrage to black men but not to women? Should she accept funding from a Trump-like racist who supported woman suffrage, but not black suffrage? More than 150 years before the #MeToo movement, Susan B. Anthony was defending women who had been sexually exploited, discarded, and left to die in insane asylums. She was called “shrill,” she was called “unreasonable,” and if she were running for office today she would certainly be called “unelectable.” How can we understand the battle between the sexes if we don’t even know our own history? 2. CHARACTERS (5F, 4M) Susan B. Anthony, white, 31 when we first see her. Tall, thin, tightly wound, stands very erect. In the first two scenes she wears simple plaid dresses; from the third scene forward she wears all-black dresses; in later scenes she adds her trademark red scarf.

  • Selected Death Notices from Jackson County, Kansas
    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME IV 1897-1899 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2002 ii INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were six newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, Normal Advocate, University Informer, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The University Informer ceased publication June 1898, and the Normal Advocate, in March 1899. Both were publications of Campbell University. The Soldier Clipper, and the Circleville News, continued in their respective cities. In Whiting, the Sun ceased its publication January 28, 1898, but the Whiting Journal newspaper soon replaced it on February 18, 1898. In Netawaka, the Netawaka Herald ceased publication on June 30, 1899. In Denison, the Hummer began publication on January 10, 1899, and ceased March 15, 1899. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden.

The Mayetta News was also short-lived, being published from July 20, 1904 through February 24, 1905 As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county.
