  • 1 Rebel in a Dress: How Belva Lockwood Made the Case For
    1 Rebel In A Dress: How Belva Lockwood Made The Case For Women’s Rights Grace McMahan Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2500 2 Introduction On a chilly day in early March of 1879, Ms. Belva Ann Lockwood entered the United States Supreme Court. She entered not as a spectator or a defendant, but to be sworn in as the first female lawyer with the ability to argue in front of the highest court in the country. Although she was the first, Lockwood was not the last woman to argue in the halls of the court. She shattered the glass ceiling for women in law and paved the way for the others behind her. She daringly ran for president before women could even vote. Her inability to be discouraged and her fierce belief in her ideas showed others that women could be impactful figures. Belva Lockwood was the first woman to argue in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and the first female presidential candidate. Her work in law helped break barriers in terms of female integration into U.S. law and government, while simultaneously challenging gender inequalities. Background Born on October 24, 1830, in Royalton, New York, Belva Ann Bennett married at age eighteen. Her husband, Uriah, tragically died leaving Lockwood behind to raise their daughter, Lura.1 After Lockwood started a job teaching, she discovered that she was paid half the amount of men with her same job. Lockwood believed that to abolish this type of discrimination, she needed to know more about it. Drollene Brown explains it as, “..

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

On December 15, 1998, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the (former) New York Times Bu ilding and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses, representing the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society, and the Historic Districts Council , spoke in favor of the designation. The hearing was re-opened on February 23 , 1999 for additional testimony from the owner, Pace University. Two representatives of Pace spoke, indicating that the university was not opposed to designation and looked forward to working with the Commission staff in regard to future plans for the building. The Commission has also received letters from Dr. Sarah Bradford Landau and Robert A.M. Stern in support of designation. This item had previously been heard for designation as an individual Landmark in 1966 (LP-0550) and in 1980 as part of the proposed Civic Center Hi storic District (LP-1125). Summary This sixteen-story office building, constructed as the home of the New York Times , is one of the last survivors of Newspaper Row, the center of newspaper publishing in New York City from the 1830s to the 1920s.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 "If They Could Only Get Over The Idea That They Owned Us"12 A look at sports pages during the past year reveals that the seemingly endless argument between the owners of major league baseball teams and their players is once more taking attention away from the game on the field. At the heart of the trouble between players and management is the fact that baseball, by fiat of antitrust exemption, is a http://www.empire.net/~lewisec/Players_League_web2.html Page 1 of 7 Players' League-Chapter 2 7/19/2001 12:12 PM monopolistic, monopsonistic cartel, whose leaders want to operate in the style of Gilded Age magnates.13 This desire is easily understood, when one considers that the business of major league baseball assumed its current structure in the 1880's--the heart of the robber baron era. Professional baseball as we know it today began with the formation of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs in 1876. The National League (NL) was a departure from the professional organization which had existed previously: the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The main difference between the leagues can be discerned by their full titles; where the National Association considered itself to be by and for the players, the NL was a league of ball club owners, to whom the players were only employees.

  • 03 Chapters 4-7 Burns
    76 CHAPTER 4 THE REALITY BEHIND THE BRISBANE LINE ALLEGATIONS Curtin lacked expertise in defence matters. He did not understand the duties or responsibilities of military commanders and never attended Chiefs of Staff meetings, choosing to rely chiefly on the Governments public service advisers. Thus Shedden established himself as Curtins chief defence adviser. Under Curtin his influence was far greater than 1 it had ever been in Menzies day. Curtins lack of understanding of the role of military commanders, shared by Forde, created misunderstandings and brought about refusal to give political direction. These factors contributed to events that underlay the Brisbane Line controversy. Necessarily, Curtin had as his main purpose the fighting and the winning of the war. Some Labor politicians however saw no reason why the conduct of the war should prevent Labor introducing social reforms. Many, because of their anti-conscriptionist beliefs, were unsympathetic 2 to military needs. Conversely, the Army Staff Corps were mistrustful of their new masters. The most influential of their critics was Eddie Ward, the new Minister for Labour and National Service. His hatred of Menzies, distrust of the conservative parties, and suspicion of the military impelled him towards endangering national security during the course of the Brisbane Line controversy. But this lay in the future in the early days of the Curtin Government. Not a great deal changed immediately under Curtin. A report to Forde by Mackay on 27 October indicated that appreciations and planning for local defence in Queensland and New South Wales were based on the assumption that the vital area of Newcastle-Sydney-Port Kembla had priority in defence.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.
