  • Before 1880, Through Excuses Only
    CHAPTER ONE BEFORE 1880, THROUGH EXCUSES ONLY She is in the swim, but not of it. —Journalist magazine In 1890, only 4 percent of American journalists were women, and percentages in other writing fields were even lower.Those few who made a serious com- mitment to writing found their course severely constrained—by their educa- tion, family responsibilities, social codes, and isolation from other writers. Because of these limited freedoms and connections, American women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries wrote by relying on some form of justifi- cation or rationalization, which varied with the decades, and they usually wrote professionally for only part of their adulthood. Cast in the insubstantial role of Non-Writer, a subset of the care-giving Woman, these writers were meant to address only women readers on narrowly defined women’s topics such as home- making while the genres and pronouncements of male Writers were shaping American intellectual culture. Although their choices were few, for women working within a patriarchal system without supportive networks or groups, these excuses and restrictive definitions did provide some space for writing. DURING THE COLONIAL PERIOD In the colonial period, women’s labor was frequently needed, in towns and certainly on the frontier, and it provided their means of securing a living when 1 2 A GROUP OF THEIR OWN left without father or husband. Some better educated single women and wid- ows worked in journalism—writing, editing, printing, and distributing news- papers while also taking on contract printing jobs.

    & Historic Movements Politics The Victorian Age The Women’s Rights Movement The Victorian Age corresponded approximately to the reign of Queen Victoria that spanned from 1837 to 1901.

The 6th generation of Southmayds in America: Daniel Starr Southmayd was born in Waterbury, Connecticut. He was a son of Ebenezer Southmayd (January 23, 1775-September 30, 1831) and Elizabeth Starr Southmayd (January 8, 1777-July 3, 1842) who had gotten married at South Farms, Connecticut, on April 16, 1797. 1.

Reviewed by Margot Minardi (Reed College)Published on H-Nationalism (June, 2021) Commissioned by Evan C. Rothera (University of Arkansas - Fort Smith) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=56207 Reading Kenyon Gradert’s though-provoking new book,Puritan Spirits in the Abolitionist Imagination, made me realize that I had completely overlooked the four hundredth anniversary of the Mayflower landing. Granted, most of us had other things to think about in 2020. Nevertheless, the oversight was startling for me, a Massachusetts-born-and-bred historian of early America for whom the discovery, in a college history class, that 1620 wasn’t the beginning of American history was a memorable shock. Today, though, the Pilgrims and the Puritans who followed them to Massachusetts don’t seem as significant as they used to in popular historical memory. Over the past year, the latest front in the culture wars has been dominated by a contest between 1619 and 1776 as the origin points of American history—with the Pilgrims receding into a distant background.[1] For New Englanders in the nineteenth century, the Pilgrim and Puritan origins of the United States would be nearly impossible to forget, even (or especially) in a time of national crisis. Gradert focuses on a particular group of nineteenth-century New Englanders—those who were active in, or at least sympathetic to, the movement against slavery—to examine how their perceptions of Puritan roots shaped their antislavery consciousness.

  • Indian Possession and Playing: an Aivierican Tradition From
    INDIAN POSSESSION AND PLAYING: AN AIVIERICAN TRADITION FROM TOM SAWYER TO TODAY by CHRISTINE M. PIERUCCI A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in English written under the director of Dr. Holly V. Blackford and approved by Dr. Holly V. Blackford Dr. Carol J. Singley Camden, New Jersey [January 2012] ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Indian Possession and Playing: An American Tradition from Tom Sawyer to Today By CHRISTINE M. PIERUCCI Thesis Director: Dr. Holly V. Blackford Toni Morrison's deconstructionist analysis of the Africanist presence in nineteenth century texts is complemented by analysis of Nativist presence in the same time period and beyond. While the Africanist presence, or lack thereof, helped white authors express the venture for a democratic freedom, the Nativist presence has helped—and continues to help—white authors articulate an American identity which is romantic and distinctly their own, separate from Europe. A number of texts published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries portray Native Americans in a paradoxical way: the figure is simultaneously the quintessential villain, savage and untrustworthy, and a romantic object of play, resistant to civilization and therefore a figure to be possessed and emulated. At the core of this paradoxical representation is Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). The novel's villain, Injun Joe, is the epitome of evil, yet the Native American is still the object of Tom's imagination and infatuation. Even while Injun Joe is conveniently left to starve and die in an isolated setting, literally blocked from the rest of the civilization.

  • Native American Women's Transrhetorical Fight for La
    WILKINSON, ELIZABETH LEIGH. Ph.D. Story as a Weapon in Colonized America: Native American Women’s Transrhetorical Fight for Land Rights. (2008) Directed by Dr. Karen L. Kilcup. 265 pp. The violent collision between Native American and Euro-American politics, spirituality, economy, and community appears most prominently in each culture’s attitude toward land, which connects intimately with the position women held in each society. The social construction of land and a woman’s “place”—and the interconnectedness between the two as viewed through a Euro-American lens—conflicted so wholly with that of many Native American cultures that what resulted were wars, many fought physically on battlefields, but many others with rhetoric in speeches, books, petitions, and reports. The idea that the two cultures might fight bloody battles over land rights does not need much explanation; however, that they might come to blows as a result of how women acted in each society requires more attention. Synthesizing the heterogeneous methodologies and insights of American Indian literature, nineteenth-century women’s writing, and the history and theory of rhetoric, this dissertation articulates the transrhetorical power of Native American women: their ability to cross cultural and gendered boundaries of rhetoric. I argue that while white middle- class women such as Lydia Maria Child, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, and Margaret Fuller sought to empower themselves by speaking through Native women’s voices, indigenous writers Nancy Ward, Narcissa Owen, Sarah Winnemucca, and Gertrude Bonnin, fluidly negotiating white definitions of gender and culture, used their roles as transrhetors in order to protest land theft and to fight to reclaim territories unjustly taken by the United States government, using rhetoric as a weapon in the war over land.

Page 1 of 9 Preached FUUSS 141123 Our 2nd principle, Justice, equity and compassion in human relations how can it inform us for being out in the world what does it call us to do or to be. We as a denomination have a strong history of social justice work. We are very proud of it. We should be; we have many things to be proud of. But we have not always been on the side of the good guys, or at least there have been moments in our history when our response to an issue was muddled, at least at first. One could call them mistakes, and just as easily and truthfully call them growing edges. It is this edge where we as an Association learn, grow find that new life that Howard Thurman wrote about. Take the issue of Slavery - especially here in upstate NY, once a hotbed of abolitionist work, we UUs tend to pride ourselves on our ancestor’s work to end slavery.

  • Slavery and Racialized Perspectives in Abolitionist and Neoabolitionist Children’S Literature
    Black Girls, White Girls, American Girls: Slavery and Racialized Perspectives in Abolitionist and Neoabolitionist Children’s Literature Brigitte Fielder Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, Volume 36, Number 2, Fall 2017, pp. 323-352 (Article) Published by The University of Tulsa DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/tsw.2017.0025 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/677145 Access provided by Columbia University (14 Jan 2018 04:20 GMT) Black Girls, White Girls, American Girls: Slavery and Racialized Perspectives in Abolitionist and Neoabolitionist Children’s Literature Brigitte Fielder University of Wisconsin, Madison ABSTRACT: Analyzing abolitionist and neoabolitionist girlhood stories of racial pairing from the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, this essay shows how children’s literature about interracial friendship represents differently racialized experiences of and responses to slavery. The article presents fiction by women writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Lydia Maria Child alongside Sarah Masters Buckey and Denise Lewis Patrick’s American Girl historical fiction series about Cécile and Marie-Grace in order to show how such literature stages free children’s relationships to slavery through their own racialization. While nineteenth-century abolitionist children’s literature models how to present slavery and racism to free, white children, the American Girl series extends this model to con- sider how African American children’s literature considers black child readers and black children’s specialized knowledge about racism. The model of narration and scripting of reading practices in the Cécile and Marie-Grace stories promote cross-racial identification, showing how, because children read from already racialized perspectives that literature also informs, both black and white children might benefit from seeing alternating perspectives of slavery represented.
