PG . 3 ************************** **************** * * **** ** ****************************************** WOMEN IN KENTUCKY Although not many early records ofwomen in Kentucky are available, women have played a part in all aspects of the development of the state. The fIrst women in Kentucky were Native Americans, of whom we have no written records. According to Women in KentuchY by Helen Deiss Irvin, the fIrst two white women in the Commonwealth were Mary Draper Ingles and Virginia Wiley. Both of these women were brought to Kentucky as captives of the Indians. and both managed to escape and return to their homes in Virginia. Mary Draper Ingles, the daughter of George and Eleanor (Hardin) Draper, was born in Philadelphia in 1732. She married William Ingles in 1749. In July 1755 , while the men were harvesting crops. Shawnee Indians attacked the settlement and captured Mary, her two sons. Thomas and George, and her sister-in-law. After a month long trip along the Kanawha and Ohio rivers the two boys and the sister-in-law were sent to distant villages, but Mary, who had won the respect of the Indians, was made an adopted daughter of the chief. In September 1755 the Indians took Mary and an elderly Dutch prisoner down the Ohio River to Big Bone Lick (Boone County. Kentucky) where the two women managed to escape. After traveling for fort y days. they arrived at the farm ofan old neighbor, Adam Harmon, who took them to the fort at Dunkard's Bottom where Mary and her husband were united. In 1768 the son Thomas was returned to his family. The younger son, Robert, had died within a few days after being taken from his mother. Mary Draper Ingles died in 1815 at her home in Virginia.

  • Brevity, Skorpion & Battleaxe
    DESERT WAR PART THREE: BREVITY, SKORPION & BATTLEAXE OPERATION BREVITY MAY 15 – 16 1941 Operation Sonnenblume had seen Rommel rapidly drive the distracted and over-stretched British and Commonwealth forces in Cyrenaica back across the Egyptian border. Although the battlefront now lay in the border area, the port city of Tobruk - 100 miles inside Libya - had resisted the Axis advance, and its substantial Australian and British garrison of around 27,000 troops constituted a significant threat to Rommel's lengthy supply chain. He therefore committed his main strength to besieging the city, leaving the front line only thinly held. Conceived by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Middle East Command, General Archibald Wavell, Operation Brevity was a limited Allied offensive conducted in mid-May 1941. Brevity was intended to be a rapid blow against weak Axis front-line forces in the Sollum - Capuzzo - Bardia area of the border between Egypt and Libya. Operation Brevity's main objectives were to gain territory from which to launch a further planned offensive toward the besieged Tobruk, and the depletion of German and Italian forces in the region. With limited battle-ready units to draw on in the wake of Rommel's recent successes, on May 15 Brigadier William Gott, with the 22nd Guards Brigade and elements of the 7th Armoured Division attacked in three columns. The Royal Air Force allocated all available fighters and a small force of bombers to the operation. The strategically important Halfaya Pass was taken against stiff Italian opposition. Reaching the top of the Halfaya Pass, the 22nd Guards Brigade came under heavy fire from an Italian Bersaglieri (Marksmen) infantry company, supported by anti-tank guns, under the command of Colonel Ugo Montemurro.

Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition.

    Women of Virginia Commemorative Commission Executive Board November 8, 2013 Minutes Members in Attendance: Secretary Lisa Hicks-Thomas Em Bowles Locker Alsop Lissy Bryan Senator Mary Margaret Whipple Jacqueline Hedblom Susan Schaar Others in attendance: Dr. Sandra Treadway Alice Lynch Mary Blanton Easterly The meeting began and greetings were extended to visitors. Secretary Hicks-Thomas then led a discussion regarding an e-mail sent to the Executive Board from Commission Member Mary Abelsmith. Regarding the concerns of the e-mail, the Executive Board resolved that they had already received a concrete timeline on the project as submitted by the artist, that the current funds raised are being held by the Capitol Foundation and that Alice Lynch will talk more about current fundraising efforts at the next meeting of the Full Commission. Members of the Executive Board then held a brief discussion about potential names for the Monument that had not previously been submitted. Susan Schaar brought up the potential to have a female athlete as a figure on the Monument. Ms. Schaar also discussed the major role women have played in the conservation of Virginia and suggested the name Elisabeth Scott Bocock. Em Bowles Alsop also suggested the Gibson girl and Mary Wells Ashworth. Alice Lynch questioned if Lottie Moon should be reconsidered. A suggestion from the audience of Pat Perkinson, the first female Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, was made. An audience member also suggested Henrietta Lacks. The Board then discussed the information provided to them by Dr. Treadway on the list of names they had previously chosen.

  • Blasphemy and Sacrilege in a Multicultural Society
    3. Are we capable of offending God? Taking blasphemy seriously Helen Pringle Until quite recently there appeared to be a consensus in Western democracies as to the desirability of abolishing the offence of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. Indeed, in 1949, Lord Denning argued that `the offence of blasphemy is a dead letter'. According to Lord Denning, the basis of the law against blasphemy was the idea that `a denial of Christianity was liable to shake the fabric of society, which was itself founded upon the Christian religion', a danger that no longer existed.1 A long series of judicial remarks and government reports, most recently by the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences in 2003,2 stressed the archaism of the offence, and endorsed some form of proposal to abolish or further confine it. However, in the 1990s, dissenting voices were raised against the consensus, particularly from Muslims who argued that in fact the law should be extended beyond Christianity. Misgivings about the effect of such an extension on the freedom of speech have dogged such proposals, particularly where they have found form in laws against religious vilification. The offence of blasphemy is often treated as a question of freedom of speech.
