  • Dorothea Dix, Superintendent of Nurses: When an Activist Becomes an Administrator
    Volume 2, Issue No. 1. Dorothea Dix, Superintendent of Nurses: When an Activist Becomes an Administrator Emily Galik Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: Although the public praised Dorothea Dix’s work as a progressive reformer before the American Civil War, her leadership as the Union Army’s Superintendent of Nurses was privately criticized. Halfway through the conflict Dix effectively fell from prominence, and other Union nurses rose as leaders in the national spotlight. This paper explores why Dix was unsuccessful in this new position, despite her previous professional success, citing her maternalist beliefs about gender propriety, her failure to work effectively with fellow administrative men, and her conflict with her subordinate nurses. By examining Dix’s story, one can see how a woman could spend decades perfecting her navigation of the patriarchal political and social scenes of the mid nineteenth century, and how these curated leadership strategies hindered her success in a new environment. The modern workforce is not the only place where leading women can fail to thrive in a new setting, and hopefully modern women can recognize the timeless warnings posed by Dix’s years as superintendent: years of experience can blind one to the benefits of and need to adapt to a new environment, and new colleagues may take your qualifications gathered in other fields with a grain of salt. Introduction In 1861, US Secretary of War Simon Cameron appointed Dorothea Dix as Superintendent of Nurses for the Union Army despite her lack of experience as a nurse or healthcare administrator (Gollaher 1995). Dix’s reform work followed the Jacksonian Era, which promoted jail and prison as effective institutions of punishment.

Civil War Nursing Narratives: Whitman’s Memoranda During the War and Eroticism Daneen Wardrop Abstract Demonstrates how Whitman’s Memoranda “shares with the nursing narratives that preceded his work some important aspects of style and tone,” and offers a ”cultural assessment” of Whit- man’s book ”within the context of those previous memoirs, utilizing themes of democracy, the typical American, motherhood, and . the eroticism that forms between nurse and patient”; the extended comparisons are focused on Louisa May Alcott’s Hospital Sketches, Georgeanna Woolsesy’s Three Weeks at Gettysburg, and Sarah Emma Edmonds’s Nurse and Spy in the Union Army. CIVIL WAR NURSING NARRATIVES, WHITMAN'S MEMORANDA DURING THE WAR, AND EROTICISM DANEEN WARDROP "All flesh is grass."-Peter I, 1:24. Bodies of soldiers "had gone down as Grass falls below the scythe." - Civil War veteran "[At Gettysburg] every grass-blade seemed to have been stained with blood." -Sophronia Bucklin 1 WHITMAN's MEMORANDA DURING THE WAR has recently begun to be con­ sidered within the historical framework of the many Civil War nursing narratives that proliferated during and after the war. While Whitman's Memoranda is not solely a nursing narrative-for it offers depictions of other aspects of the war-and while he served during the war as a nurse "in my own style"2 as much as an official appointee of the Christian Commission, his memoir shares with the nursing narratives that pre­ ceded his work some important aspects of style and tone.

This was accomplished on a number of fronts: by processing and creating online finding aids for special collections; by creating new and improved existing bibliographic records; by digitizing items from collections and putting them online; and by publicizing the collections through the Performing Arts Encyclopedia, public programs, orientations, professional meetings, and social media. We made significant progress on the Collections Analysis Project, which will result in 1 improved physical and intellectual control over all of Music’s holdings.

    WOMEN SUBJECTS, WOMEN ARTISTS IN THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE ART COLLECTION Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House Art Commission 2020 Paula Morse, Chair Susan Greendyke Lachevre, Curator ` WOMEN SUBJECTS, WOMEN ARTISTS IN THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE ART COLLECTION INTRODUCTION While the Commonwealth’s art collection has been on display at the Massachusetts State House since its opening in 1798, it was not until the early 20th century that women were represented. The first tributes were either symbolic – the Civil War Army Nurses Memorial, added in 1914, - or allegorical, as seen in the personifications of nations in murals dating from 1927 - 1938. In fact, the first statue of a historical female figure, that of Anne Hutchinson, was not accepted by the leadership until 1922. Furthermore, the first portrait of a woman, that of Esther Andrews, added in 1939, was not solicited by the Commonwealth but was offered as a gift by her family. In 1863, Emma Stebbins was awarded the contract for a statue of Horace Mann, one of the earliest public monuments in Boston. Although there were certainly many professional women artists working in Boston during the decades that followed, they did not receive commissions until the turn of the century when $9,000 was appropriated for the programmatic expansion of the portrait collection to fill in the gaps in the display of governors under the Constitution. At that time, Boston was blessed with a talented pool of artists, both male and female, trained at the Boston Museum School and in Europe, from whom copies could be commissioned, since original likenesses of former governors were usually privately owned.
