EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

Sorel briefly sketches the paths by which numerous women came to the profession, then focuses attention on about two dozen women and follows them through the course of the war. Those featured include: Dorothy Thompson, Sigrid Schultz, Janet Flanner, Helen Kirkpatrick, Josephine Herbst, Martha Gellhorn, Eleanor Packard, Frances Davis, Virgina Cowles, Margaret Bourke-White, Sonia Tomara, Betty Wason, Mary Welsh, Tania Long, Lael Tucker, Shelley Smith Mydans, Annalee Whitmore Jacoby, Ruth Cowan, Lee Miller, Virginia Irwin, Lee Carson, Dickey Chappelle, Iris Carpenter, Majorie "Dot" Avery, and Catherine Coyne. These women reported for major dailies and periodicals like The New York Herald Tribune, The London Times, Life, and the wire services as well as for specialized women's publications. The threads of their lives and careers are interwoven with the major events of the war in fascinating detail.

THE BYLINE OF EUROPE: AN EXAMINATION OF FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS’ REPORTING FROM 1930 TO 1941 Kerry J. Garvey 133 Pages This thesis focuses on two of the largest foreign correspondents’ networks the one of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times- in prewar Europe and especially in Germany, thus providing a wider perspective on the foreign correspondents’ role in news reporting and, more importantly, how their reporting appeared in the published newspaper. It provides a new, broader perspective on how foreign news reporting portrayed European events to the American public. It describes the correspondents’ role in publishing articles over three time periods- 1930 to 1933, 1933-1939, and 1939 to 1941. Reporting and consequently the published paper depended on the correspondents’ ingenuity in the relationship with the foreign government(s); their cultural knowledge; and their gender.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University March 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the opportunities Deakin University has provided me over the past eight years; not least the opportunity to undertake my Ph.D. Travel grants were especially integral to my research and assistance through a scholarship was also greatly appreciated. The Deakin University administrative staff and specifically the Higher Degree by Research staff provided essential support during my candidacy. I also wish to acknowledge the Library staff, especially Marion Churkovich and Lorraine Driscoll and the interlibrary loans department, and sincerely thank Dr Murray Noonan for copy-editing this thesis. The collections accessed as part of an International Justice Research fellowship undertaken in 2014 at the Thomas J Dodd Centre made a positive contribution to my archival research. I would like to thank Lisa Laplante, interim director of the Dodd Research Center, for overseeing my stay at the University of Connecticut and Graham Stinnett, Curator of Human Rights Collections, for help in accessing the Dodd Papers. I also would like to acknowledge the staff at the Bergen-Belsen Gedenkstätte and Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial who assisted me during research visits. My heartfelt gratitude is offered to those who helped me in various ways during overseas travel. Rick Gretsch welcomed me on my first day in New York and put a first-time traveller at ease. Patty Foley’s hospitality and warmth made my stay in Connecticut so very memorable.

AFTER publishing the Brown Genealogy, in l90i, the author of this genealogy took up first the records of his great-great-grandfather Nathaniel Babcock, Sr., in lineal descent from James Babcock, who settled in Ports­ mouth, R. I., in 16.µ, but removed to Westerly, R. I., in 1662, where his second son, John, who married Mary Lawton, had settled; thus through regular lines of descent, and giving more particular records than were given when that part of the Babcock Genealogy was published, in 1903, bringing the records down to 1910. Stephen Babcock, of Yonkexs, N. Y., has granted me permission to use as much of the early history of the Babcock Family as may be of interest to the descendants of Natilaniel Babcock, Sr. This Babcock record is also supplemented by the descendants of Simeon Main and Martha York, carrying the records on from the last given in the Brown Genealogy; also by the descendants of Isaac Miner and Ka.turah Brown. The Ezekiel Main Family has received by far the most extended research. Ezekiel Main removed to Stonington, Conn., about 1670. The records begin on page 49. My plan of research has been to search town records, to visit burying-grounds, to send hundreds of pexsonal lettexs with blanks to be filled out, and to make pexsonal visits.

    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.
