Over 200 persons interested in practically every aspect of the city's history attended and participated in the two-day affair planned and directed by an ad hoc committee of interested academics and com- munity representatives. The conference was co-sponsored by the Maryland His- torical Society and funded by the Maryland Committee for the Humanities and Pubic Policy. The variety and quality of the papers and panel discussions showed the growing excitement over Baltimore's past. The "Perfect Lady," as H. L. Mencken once labeled Baltimore, is certainly the least studied of the large north- eastern cities, and has a richer history than most. Its heritage is one of paradox, being part northern, part southern, with an unusual blend of European ethnic groups and a substantial number of free blacks and slaves. It was the prototype of the boom city, though after its ante-bellum heyday Baltimore entered what in comparison seems almost a century-long hibernation. In the last decade or so the old city appears to have gathered momentum again; now its proud heritage of diverse neighborhoods of distinct ethnic and racial character, tied together to form a heterogeneous city, stands as an obvious urban advantage. Its treasures of usable old buildings, the splendor of its downtown harbor, its great cultural institutions—the Hopkins, the Walters, the Maryland Historical Society, the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the Peabody Conservatory, the Maryland Institute of Art, the Baltimore Symphony, the Peale Museum—all with strong ties to the city's past, are visible symbols of why urban life is essential to civilized society. As the city begins to take on a new vitality and rediscover faith in itself, we must remember that Charles Centers and Inner Harbor Projects in themselves, for all their importance, do not a great city make. Every citizen, every businessman, every government official truly committed to this city must recognize that the mind and spirit are what animate urban civilization. Emphasis on skycrapers and subways alone may gain us fortunes, but risks losing our community's soul. Boosterism is alive and well in Baltimore, but let us not forget the whole spec- trum of cultural institutions that have done so much—and promise to do more— to maintain the amenities of life. We must support the activities of, and even enlarge the scope and variety of our cultural agencies, if Baltimore is really to aspire to become "Charm City." Knowledge of our history, brought into the active present by lively writing, museum exhibits, and preservation projects, can go a long way toward assuring that we do not destroy the old city in our haste to modernize. In its past Baltimore can find pride, examples of public-spirited ac- tion, and architectural distinction. Knowing that the readers of the Maryland Historical Magazine would want to participate vicariously in the Baltimore History Conference, both the Baltimore City Bicentennial Committee and the Maryland Bicentennial Commission gave generous grants making possible this expanded issue. Their support of the past for the sake of the future is a good omen for Baltimore, and all Marylanders. JOHN B. BOLES BahinKxeQty Bicentennial ^ The Woman's Lot in Baltimore Town: 1729-97 KATHRYN ALLAMONG JACOB WHEN SPEAKING OF WOMEN IN HISTORY, ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, SR., ONCE NOTED, "From reading history textbooks, one would think half of our population made only a negligible contribution to history. "l He precisely described the standard histories of Baltimore. One finds lamentably few references to women in the town's traditional chronicles. Those few women who do appear are the lovely belles who captured the hearts of young men at home and abroad and the women who gained recognition by virtue of being the wife, mother, or daughter of a famous gentleman. The widowed mothers of a dozen or more children who built up prosperous businesses and the anonymous women who donated long-labored- over quilts to the war effort are consistently overlooked. Yet these, and even the women accused of horsethievery or bearing bastards, represent the very essence of Baltimore Town's social history. Created by legislative fiat in 1729, Baltimore was officially called Baltimore Town until it received its city charter in 1797. Rising from almost empty acres along the Patapsco, it lacked the sophistication of its older and more glamorous neighbor, Annapolis. The majority of Baltimore's women were more expert at wielding a needle than a pen. Theirs were the skills of cookery, not composition, and consequently they left few written accounts of themselves. Fortunately, records about these early women were kept by others. Tax, court, land, and church records, wills and inventories, censuses, newspapers, and private papers provide a wealth of information about Baltimore's first women citizens.2 The wide variety of information gleaned from this data permits a partial reconstruction of various facets of the Baltimore woman's life, her birth, her marriage, and her legal status. Several specific threads run through the data, creating unity on several levels. One such thread, and one of the most striking, is the very real way in which economics was related to every aspect of the woman's life, from whom and how she would marry to the kinds of problems that resulted in her appearance before the courts. Dependent in childhood upon her father, in middle age upon her husband, and, often, in old age upon her sons, with few ex- ceptions the Baltimore woman's whole life style and social status was largely de- termined by the wealth of the men in her life.

Her house might be an elegant, multistory brick dwelling or a two room, readily combustible wooden structure. For amusement, she might attend the gay assemblies and banquets or gossip with a neighbor while they made soap together—it all depended on her economic status. Aside from such tangible and obvious evidence of economic differences as dress, diet, and housing, economic considerations clearly affected the woman's prospects in the marriage market.

  • The Aspects of Starting a Large Family

Zoltán Zsolt Nagy, MD, PhD 2Health visitor student, Faculty of Health Sciences, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary Head of Faculty: prof. Zoltán Zsolt Nagy, MD, PhD 3Health visitor, Joint Institute of Health and Social Affairs, Győr, Hungary Head of Institute: Mihály Panker Summary Introduction. Being raised in a large family is not only favourable regarding the development of the child but beneficial for the whole society as well. In Hungary fewer and fewer children are born and the number of children growing up in large families has been decreasing. So the examination of this field of subject from the perspective of healthcare has valid ground. Aim. By studying the questionnares and interviews with students of the Semmelweis University Faculty of Health Sciences (SE ETK) we’ve tried to explore what can be done by healthcare professionals to improve the family planning of the youth. We focused on the opinions of health visitor students who were raised in big family. What are they thinking about starting their own family and how their origin and the healthcare system affects it? What are their views on the resources a large family pro- vides? Material and methods. The second, third and fourth year nurse, midwife and health visitor students of SE ETK filled out a quantitative questionnaire in spring 2012 as a part of a research launched in 2007, called ”Students’ Plans to Start a Family”.

  • The Ban on Abortion and the Politicization of Women's Bodies
    THE BAN ON ABORTION AND THE POLITICIZATION OF WOMEN’S BODIES IN EARLY REPUBLICAN TURKEY BETWEEN 1923-1946 By Oguz Soylu Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Associate Professor Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Assistant Professor Noemi Levy-Aksu CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Statement of Copyright “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

After the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey on October 29, 1923, the early republican regime granted many modernized rights to women within the project of women’s emancipation. However, at the same time, the new regime criminalized abortion and initiated strong pro-natalist policies by bringing reproduction under the state’s biological control. In addition, new legislations passed contained some articles which had unequal treatment of women and put them in a secondary position in their private lives, and new educational structures directed girls to take gendered lessons to be ideal mothers and virtuous wives.

The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones.

  • AN ANALYSIS of the MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS of NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 a THESIS S
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

Anthony to Marilla Ricker (Volumes I-VI), p. 13. 4 Introduction “To be militant in some way or other is a moral obligation. It is a duty which every woman will owe to her own conscience, to other women who are less fortunate than she is herself, and to all those who are to come after her.” -Emmeline Pankhurst The women activists of the past undeniably laid the groundwork for the revolutions we’re experiencing in our own time. In speaking out, protesting, exposing discrimination, and fighting for equality, they propelled us forward. Yet the documents of the past also show that some of our current upheaval comes from their failures—most frequently from the exclusion of women who didn’t share in the same privileges of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or economic class. The materials gathered here are therefore both celebratory and chastening. As we continue the push to ensure that more voices are heard in our shop, more identities and contributions represented on our shelves, we see Writing a Revolution as a chance to promote a complex and intersectional women’s history.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.
