  • Women in Leadership Luncheon Dallas Chamber of Commerce January 30, 1990
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu United States Department News of Labor Office of Information Washington, D.C. 20210 SECRETARY ELIZABETH DOLE REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON DALLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JANUARY 30, 1990 What a pleasure it is to return to Dallas--a city which holds some very fond memories for me. I well remember your hospitality in 1984, when Republicans gathered to re-nominate the Reagan-Bush ticket, and I was also fortunate to make a number of trips to Texas during my service as Secretary of Transportation. The beauty and size of your state reminds me of the story about the Texas politician who started a speech by talking about the beautiful piney woods of east Texas, and then he moved on through the bluebonnets and out to the plains and down through the hill country to the Gulf Coast and then he got back to the piney woods and started all over again. And when he got all around the state that time, he started in again about those beautiful piney woods and bluebonnets. Right then, a little old fellow rose up in the back of the room and yelled out, "The next time you pass Lubbock, how about letting me off?" Well, whether it's Lubbock, Houston, or Dallas, Texans can be justifiably proud of the progress and economic expansion taking place throughout your state. Over the past few years, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been recognized as a premier location for business and corporate headquarters.

  • 1848 First Women's Rights Convention Meets in Seneca Falls
    CHRONOLOGY 1848 First Women’s Rights Convention meets in Seneca Falls, New York, and calls for equal treatment of the sexes under the law and voting rights for women. 1869 The Territory of Wyoming passes the first women’s suffrage law and later, in 1890, when it joins the union, is the first state with women’s suffrage. Fifteen additional states will legalize the vote for women before 1920. Women’s suffrage associations form and begin to campaign for constitu- tional amendments for voting rights for women. 1870 Iowa is the first state to admit a woman to the bar, Arabella Mansfield. 1872 Victoria Woodhull, of the Equal Rights Party, is the first woman to run for U.S. president. 1917 Jeannette Rankin of Montana is the first woman elected to Congress. 1920 Ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which says that a U.S. citizen could not be denied the right to vote based on sex. 1923 Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is introduced in Congress by Senator Charles Curtis and Representative Daniel Anthony, written by Alice Paul, leader of the National Women’s Party. 1933 President Franklin D. Roo se velt appoints the first woman U.S. cabinet member, Frances Perkins, secretary of labor. 1941 Seven million women join the work force and 400,000 women join the military in World War II. 1953 President Dwight Eisenhower appoints Oveta Culp Hobby as secretary of health, education, and welfare; she is the second woman to hold a U.S. cabinet position. 1961 President John F. Kennedy establishes the President’s Commission on the Status of Women (chaired by Eleanor Roo se velt).

  • The Significance and Impact of Women
    THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF WOMEN ON THE RISE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TWENTIETH CENTURY TEXAS Kristi Throne Strickland, B.B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Ronald E. Marcello, Major Professor and Chair Donald K. Pickens, Committee Member Randolph B. Campbell, Committee Member Alexandra Leavell, Committee Member Elizabeth Esterchild, Committee Member Richard M. Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Strickland, Kristi Throne, The Significance and Impact of Women on the Rise of the Republican Party in Twentieth Century Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 2000, 267 pp., references, 180 titles. During the early twentieth century, the Democratic party dominated the conservative political landscape of Texas. Through the 1920s, members of the Republican party focused on patronage and seemed content to maintain the position of minority party. A growing dissatisfaction with the liberal policies of the New Deal during the 1930s created opportunities for state Republicans to woo dissenting Democrats to their side. With a change of leadership within the state GOP after 1950, the Republicans waged serious campaigns for offices for the first time. Republican men exercised their political yearnings through leadership positions. Women, on the other hand, were shut out of the leadership ranks, and, as a consequence, they chose a traditional female strategy. They organized clubs in order to support the new leadership and rising candidates. Against formidable odds, Republican women acted as foot soldiers and worked diligently to attain their objectives.
