Volume 2, Issue 1 Page 3 From the desk COL Tobin Green Ironhorse Brigade Combat Team Commander For those of us who have been here before, it is remarkable how much more activity and life there is in the city. It’s encouraging. A year ago I would not have predicted so much progress in the MND-B and Baghdad Opera- tional Command (BOC) joint area of responsibility. Progress is happening, and I am excited that IH can play a part in supporting the GOI and enabling the ISF as part of the new Bilateral Security Agreement in the months ahead. I can envision tremendous possibilities for the future. But don’t misread conditions either. Peace has not broken out in Baghdad yet. There are plenty of en- emy out there who want to kill you. So while you are engaging the population in full partnership with your ISF counterpart, and carrying a message of ISF capability to the people, don’t lose track of the security environment dynamics. Recently, there has been a discernable spike in violence, and it is not confined to just one sect or one belladiyat / security district. Everything we will accomplish with our Iraqi partners can only follow from a stable and safe environment. It really all traces back to security – and that is what we are here to ensure. There is work to be done on partnership. Leaders know the right answer – and guidance is clear. The IH will partner fully and at every opportunity with our ISF team-mates in the IA, NP, and IP. We must demonstrate this commitment and reinforce the message quickly during the right-seat-ride and left-seat-ride period. We cannot wait until after TOA to signal our partnership emphasis to ISF counterparts, but remember your cultural and en- gagement training and do it in a professional manner. Why does all the hard work, uncompromising standards, repetitive training, and attention to individual disci- pline in the Ironhorse BCT really matter? Well – perhaps an experience I had recently can help answer that question.

  • 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, “..

  • 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.

    WLHBP womenslegalhistory.stanford.edu Reading Between the Lines: Marilla Ricker in the Struggle for Women’s Rights LeeAnn Richey Stanford Law School Professor Babcock Women in the Legal Profession WLHBP womenslegalhistory.stanford.edu An examination of the standard histories of the United States and of the history textbooks in use in our schools raises the pertinent question whether women have ever made any contributions to American national progress that are worthy of record. If the silence of the historians is to mean anything, it would appear that one-half of our population have been negligible factors in our country’s history….[A]ny consideration of woman’s part in American history must include the protracted struggle of the sex for larger rights and opportunities, a story that is in itself one of the noblest chapters in the history of American democracy. Arthur M. Schlesinger, 1922 New Viewpoints in American History 2 WLHBP womenslegalhistory.stanford.edu Introduction Marilla Ricker was the first woman to cast her ballot in a state election prior to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1871, the first woman appointed Commissioner and Examiner in Chancery in the District of Columbia in 1884, the woman who opened the New Hampshire bar to all other women in 1890, the first woman to apply for a foreign ambassadorship in 1897, and the first woman to announce her candidacy for governor of New Hampshire in 1910. Despite being the “first” in so many aspects of her life, Marilla Ricker’s biography is largely omitted from American history. Historian Arthur Schlesinger’s astute observation regarding the omission of women’s role in American history proved all too true in Marilla Ricker’s case.

The ‘Emancipated Ladies’ of America in the Travel Writing of Fredrika Bremer and Alexandra Gripenberg1 By Sirpa Salenius2 Abstract The Swedish novelist Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) and the Finnish Baroness Alexandra Gripenberg (1857-1913), both active women’s rights advocates who toured in the United States in the 1850s and 1880s, respectively, used their travel writing as a powerful medium in promoting their ideological agendas. They articulated their gender politics through presenting American women as pioneers, leaders in women’s suffrage and models of female emancipation. Women’s activism in America was perceptible not only in the formally organized women’s rights movement but also in various reform movements (abolitionism, temperance, and labor movements) that contributed to women’s suffrage on a worldwide scale.
