    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Communication Studies By Cindy Koenig Richards EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright 2008 by Cindy Koenig Richards All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 Cindy Koenig Richards This study examines rhetorical practices through which disenfranchised women developed tenable political identities and integrated themselves into the public realm in the Pacific Northwest between 1868 and 1912. Through close analysis of rhetorical activities in which thousands of women participated—including club discourse, public commemoration, legal advocacy, petition work, and publication—it illuminates how these activities reconciled femininity and political involvement in an era and place that categorically denied women the right to self-government. Specifically, this dissertation argues that collective rhetorical practices made available rather than merely expressed new identities and skills among women in Oregon and Washington. As they engaged in symbolic action, together, women bridged the divide between their conventional roles in the private realm and leadership in public life, thereby changing themselves and their communities. In addition to expanding interdisciplinary understanding of woman’s rights and suffrage activism in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States, this study provides insight into modes of communication that construct public identities, cultivate new ways of thinking and acting politically, and create grounds for public reform. 4 Acknowledgments I am grateful to The Graduate School and the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University as well as the Alumnae of Northwestern University for providing the money and time that enabled me to complete this dissertation.

    Sacagawea and Son 27 Sacagawea and Son: The Visual Construction of America’s Maternal Feminine Patricia Vettel-Becker “Sacagawea is our mother. She is the first gene pair of the American DNA.” —Sherman Alexie, 20021 In his 1900 essay “The Dynamo and the Virgin,” American philosopher Henry Adams laments his nation’s lack of a potent symbol of female force, blaming Puritanism for suppressing appreciation for the power of reproduction, which he considers “the greatest and most mysterious of all energies.” According to Adams, because Americans have no iconic symbol to worship—no pagan goddess or Christian Madonna—they fail to recognize this uniquely feminine energy, so much so that “[a]n American Virgin would never dare command, an American Venus would never dare exist.”2 Yet Adams believed that some remnant of such an awesome force would have survived its voyage across the Atlantic, and he concluded that it must have been channeled into the dynamo, a secular sexless machine. In 1900, however, he could not have foreseen the elevation of an almost forgotten historical figure to the status of female icon, the transformation of a captive Indian girl into a national heroine. For over the course of the next cen- tury, Sacagawea, the Shoshone teenager who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition from what is now North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean, became the most celebrated “daughter” of the United States, even though never officially a citizen. In fact, more public statues have been erected of Sacagawea than of any 0026-3079/2009/5001/2-027$2.50/0 American Studies, 50:1/2 (Spring/Summer 2009): 27-50 27 28 Patricia Vettel-Becker other woman in this country.
