    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.

  • The Only Woman in the Photo Curriculum Guide
    A Curriculum Guide to FRANCES PERKINS & HER NEW DEAL FOR AMERICA BY KATHLEEN KRULL, ILLUSTRATED BY ALEXANDRA BYE HC: 9781481491518 • EB: 9781481491525 • Ages 4–8 ABOUT THE BOOK Although Frances Perkins was a shy, quiet child, she grew up to become a bold advocate for the welfare of Americans, including the needy, the disabled, laborers, and seniors. She served as secretary of labor for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and was the force behind creating the Social Security Act of 1935. This act helped those in need and fostered a policy of caring and concern for the needs of American citizens. How was she able to accomplish this? Frances listened to her grandmother’s wise advice: “Take the high ground if someone insults you” and “When someone opens a door to you, go forward.” Kathleen Krull’s informative narrative explains how Frances Perkins boldly confronted what she considered to be the “unnecessary hazards to life,” and how she created a safety net for all Americans. Alexandra Bye’s illustrations show how Frances Perkins became a force for social justice, confronting unsafe conditions in the workplace and acknowledging the need for fire safety, minimum wages, and more. Frances Perkins’s quotes are presented using color, shape, and style to emphasize their meaning. Words and illustrations work together to provide a memorable portrait of a strong, successful, and caring woman. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS/ACTIVITIES Key Ideas and Details The discussion questions and activities below draw on Common Core State Standards for reading informational text (RI) that ask children to ask and answer questions about key details in a text (RI.K.1-RI.3.1), identify the main topic and key details that support it (RI.K.2-RI.3.2), and describe the relationship between a series of events, concepts, or ideas (RI.K.3- RI.3.3).

  • PIONEERS of WOMEN’S RIGHTS in MANHATTAN Gale A
    A WALKING TOUR PIONEERS OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN MANHATTAN Gale A. Brewer MANHATTAN BOROUGH PRESIDENT Brewer_WomensHistory_Final.indd 1 2/25/20 4:08 PM One Hundred Years of Voting A century has passed since American suffragists girded for their final push to win the ballot for women in every corner of the United States. Under the skilled and persistent direction of Carrie Chapman Catt, and spurred by the energy of Alice Paul’s National Woman Party, the 19th Amendment won approval on August 26, 1920. In this pamphlet, we find reminders of the struggles and achievements of New York women who spoke, marched, and even fought for the vote and the full panoply of rights. These were women who marched to Albany in the winter, or demonstrators who were jailed for their protests in Washington. Crystal Eastman, a young activist, spoke a large truth when she said, after ratification, “Now we can begin.” To complete one task is to encounter the next. Indeed, even after a hundred years we must still seek to complete the work of attaining women’s equality. Sincerely, Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Brewer_WomensHistory_Final.indd 2 2/25/20 4:08 PM Sojourner Truth Preacher for Abolition and Suffrage Old John Street Chapel 1 Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Baumgold and lived as a Dutch-speaking slave in upstate New York. With difficulty, she won her freedom, moved to New York City, and joined the Methodist Church on John Street. She then changed her name to Sojourner Truth and spent the rest of her long life speaking against slavery and for women’s rights.

  • Oveta Culp Hobby Remains Unknown to the Average American, Despite
    ABSTRACT ‘We Shall Not Fail Freedom’: Oveta Culp Hobby’s Role in the Formation and Implementation of the Women’s Army Corps During World War II Rebekah S. Sills, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. Oveta Culp Hobby remains unknown to the average American, despite the fact that she was the first director of the Women’s Army Corp and was the second woman to hold a presidential cabinet position as the first Secretary of the Health, Education, and Welfare. This paper chronicles Hobby’s public life as well as her role in the formation and implementation of the Women’s Army Corps, an organization of women that helped the U.S. Army with non- combat related jobs. Oveta successfully directed the Women’s Army Corps for the first three years of its existence, including overseeing the transfer to Army status in 1943. Her intelligence, courage, and devotion to her country paved the way for women to integrate into the armed forces and to participate in public life in a larger way than ever before.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted.
