Thirteen chapters consider the status cf American womenfrom 1776 to the present: women in the Departmentand at international conferences, 1800-1940; applicants and employees for overseaseuplcyment, 1851-1943: the Foreign Service examinations; theimpact of war on employing women; the postwar,pericd,1949-1970: and the present and future role of women in the Department of State. In summary,it was not until the Civi) War that the governmentbegan to hire women in full-time positions. Although men and women inthe Department of State received equal pay for equal work, men werepromoted more quickly than women. For the first 35 yearsall women in the Department filled clerical jots: in 1 909the first uoman Was appointed to a semiprofessional position. Today,the Department has a higher percentage of women at the senior, middle,junior, and support levels than the government as a whole.

  • The University of Chicago Library
    AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES: Resources in the University of Chicago Library An Exhibition on view in the Department of Special Collections February 1-June 11, 1999 AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES: Resources in the University of Chicago Library Promthe opening ofthe University of Chicago in 1892, the holdings ofthe Library have grown to include a wide array of documentary resources essential to African- American studies. Acquired by gift, bequest, purchase, government deposit, and exchange, these research materials document the diverse experiences and complex history ofAfrican-Americans from the seventeenth century to the present. Printed government documents and Americanawere an important early focus of the Library's acquisitions program, and these materials contain much of significance on African-American history. Personal narratives of ex-slaveswere joined by hundreds of reports, bills, petitions, and memorials dealingwith the institution ofslavery and its regulation, the destruction of slavery in the CivilWar, and the trials of Reconstruction and Southern reaction. The Library also worked to build extensive collections of magazines, newspapers, scholarlyjournals, and monographs in United States history, many ofthem bearing on the social life and culture ofAfrican-Americans. These printed sources were supplemented bythe Library's acquisition of original manuscript materials documenting African-Americans in slavery and freedom. The Reuben T. Durrett Collection purchased in 1913 was among the first ofthese, anditwas followed by the Barton Collection of Lincolniana, the Stephen A. Douglas papers, handwritten records ofante-bellum Southern plantations, and the papers of influential late nineteenth-century African-Americans such as Ida B. Wells, Orator Cook, and James E. O'Hara. The development of the "Chicago schools" of sociology, political science, urban studies, and socialwelfarepolicy brought additional strengths to manuscript holdings on African-American issues.
