SUK* The Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1920 spawned new initiatives to advance the status of women, including the proposal of another constitutional amendment that would guarantee women equality in all legal rights, beyond the right to vote. Both the Nineteenth Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) grew out of the long quest to enshrine women’s equal status under the law as citizens, which began in the nineteenth century. Nearly a century later, the ERA remains unfinished business with an uncertain future. Suffragists advanced different visions and strategies for women’s empowerment after they got the constitutional right to vote. They divided over the ERA. Their disagreements, this Essay argues, productively postponed the ERA, and reshaped its meaning over time to be more responsive to the challenges women faced in exercising economic and political power because they were mothers.

  • Cultural Anthropology Through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-Based Sentiment
    Cultural Anthropology through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-based Sentiment Peter A. Gloor, Joao Marcos, Patrick M. de Boer, Hauke Fuehres, Wei Lo, Keiichi Nemoto [email protected] MIT Center for Collective Intelligence Abstract In this paper we study the differences in historical World View between Western and Eastern cultures, represented through the English, the Chinese, Japanese, and German Wikipedia. In particular, we analyze the historical networks of the World’s leaders since the beginning of written history, comparing them in the different Wikipedias and assessing cultural chauvinism. We also identify the most influential female leaders of all times in the English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese Wikipedia. As an additional lens into the soul of a culture we compare top terms, sentiment, emotionality, and complexity of the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German Wikinews. 1 Introduction Over the last ten years the Web has become a mirror of the real world (Gloor et al. 2009). More recently, the Web has also begun to influence the real world: Societal events such as the Arab spring and the Chilean student unrest have drawn a large part of their impetus from the Internet and online social networks. In the meantime, Wikipedia has become one of the top ten Web sites1, occasionally beating daily newspapers in the actuality of most recent news. Be it the resignation of German national soccer team captain Philipp Lahm, or the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 in the Ukraine by a guided missile, the corresponding Wikipedia page is updated as soon as the actual event happened (Becker 2012.

BiRD" INTRODUCTION The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Act) represents one of the most significant milestones of the twentieth century.' Title VII of the Act prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."2 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was subsequently created to 8 define and enforce the Title VII provisions. Conventional wisdom holds that Congress added a sex 4 discrimination provision to Title VII as little more than a "joke" or a political ploy. Many authors dismiss the legislative history of the sex discrimination prohibition as aberrant congressional behavior, which is largely to be ignored.

  • Martha Wright Griffiths
    Martha Edna Wright Griffiths (Jan. 29, 1912 – April 22, 2003) Martha Griffiths was born and raised in Pierce City, Missouri. She was a champion debater and was part of the debate team while attending the University of Missouri, from which she graduated in 1934 with a B.A. in Economics. She and her husband, Hicks, graduated from the University of Michigan law school. They then both worked in an insurance company and later practiced law together in their own firm. Martha Griffiths’ first attempt at running for public office in 1946 ended in defeat. Just two years later, however, Martha was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives where she served two terms. She ran for Congress in 1952 but the bid was unsuccessful. The following year, Martha became the first woman to serve as the Judge of Recorders Court in Detroit. In 1955, she was elected as the first Democrat woman from Michigan to Congress. She was reelected 9 times, serving ten terms in Congress, until 1974. Martha was the first woman to serve on the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means. During Griffiths’ long career in the U.S. House of Representatives, she was a tireless and effective advocate for the rights of women. Her crowning legislative achievements were her successful advocacy for the inclusion of women in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the later passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) by both the House and Senate. (The ERA did not make it into the U.S. Constitution because it later fell three states short of the 38 needed for ratification.) She also worked successfully for the passage of Title IX, a law which protects against sex discrimination in education, and for positive changes to social security, education and people with disabilities.

  • How Women's Integration Transformed the Army, 1964
    STROHMER, THERESE M., Ph.D. Soldiers, Not Wacs: How Women’s Integration Transformed the Army, 1964-1994. (2016) Directed by Lisa Levenstein. 380 pp. In 2016, the Secretary of Defense opened all ground combat jobs in the military to women, permitting work in a field that had been off limits to them since the inception of the Women’s Army Corps in 1948. Yet little is understood about female soldiers’ journey to attain these roles. This dissertation shows how the 2016 decision did not emerge out of nowhere; earlier generations had laid the foundation. That foundation reflected both advocacy and achievement on the part of military women to gain access to a range of noncombat jobs on the battlefield. Women’s integration into these positions changed the meaning of combat from a geographic space exposing soldiers to hostile action, to a soldier’s specific direct ground combat role attacking the enemy. Women’s integration fundamentally transformed the Army workplace. Between 1964 and 1994, their presence in the Army increased from one percent to thirteen percent. As their numbers grew, they increasingly infiltrated the leadership ranks; by 2016, over seventeen percent of Generals were women. Having women in these leadership positions meant they commanded men, established plans for war and led troops in battle. Many ordinary soldiers pushed for policies that enabled mothers to serve, allowed women access to professional military education, and they consistently forced the military to confront the problem of sexual violence. Lesbian soldiers consistently pushed the Army for inclusion, by 2010 their efforts resulted in the right of all homosexuals to serve openly.
