  • Domestic Servants Personal Lives
    Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives In their leisure time, domestic servants likely enjoyed the same hobbies and pleasures as people in other jobs during this era. Sewing, reading, playing musical instruments, chatting over tea, or having evening gatherings in their employer’s kitchen or servants’ hall were common diversions, and may have occurred here at Lucknow. A space like the servants' hall, set aside solely for the enjoyment and rest of the servants, would have been a luxury that existed in only the wealthiest homes. Though the servants’ hall was a spot to rest and have a meal, note that the intercom, telephone, and home alarm system were in this space so a servant’s break might be frequently interrupted. For many servants in the early 20th century, Sunday would have been a typical day off to attend church, a local festival, or perhaps go to the movies. Unfortunately, domestic service workers battled the social stigma attached to their job titles, a problem which had persisted for centuries. Service was considered by some to be a disgraceful and dishonorable profession. For the most part, its workers endured a low social status in American society. A group of domestic servants, probably early 1920s. MORE ON OTHER SIDE Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives We don’t know for sure what it was like to live and work at Lucknow as a domestic servant, but first person accounts from people in domestic service during this era, as well as historic documents and photographs, help illustrate the experience. By the twentieth century, domestic servants had more personal freedom than they had in previous eras.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

  • Expert Chemists
    Belonging to the Household Expert Chemists Before the day when you could go to the grocers and buy branded cleaning liquids, solutions to stains, grease and dust were all hand made in the service wing. House maids and the lady’s maid were all expert chemists: tried and tested formulas for removing all manner of grime from windows, mirrors, ovens, carpets and fabrics. Who would have thought gin in warm water was the solution to streak-free, sparkling mirrors? Windows were best cleaned with a mixture of white vinegar and water then rubbed dry with newspaper. Damp brewed tea leaves were sprinkled onto carpets so the dust would stick to them; they were then simply swept up. Homemade furniture polish was a combination of beeswax, turpentine, white wax and white soap. Black lead for fire grates was also made up by servants from melting a pound of asphaltum (bitumen) to which half a pint of linseed oil was added, then one quart of oil of turpentine and enough emery powder (aluminium oxide) to form a thick paste. The paste was applied to the fire grates, left to dry and brushed to a high shine. Rhubarb and potatoes were renowned bleaching agents for removing stains from fabric and enamel. This was because they both contain an acid called oxalic acid which is a bleaching agent. Oxalic acid is particularly effective at getting stains out of wood without discolouring it and although the process would be repeated several times, stains on fabric could be removed by being rubbed with half a potato and then steeped in cold water.

Contact: [email protected] The Personal is Historical: Slavery, Black Power and Resistance in Octavia Butler’s Kindred In 1968, Octavia Butler attended community college in Pasadena, where the spark that would become her 1979 novel Kindred was ignited. That year, Pasadena City College (PCC) offered its first-ever course in Black literature in which Butler remembers being introduced to “writers I'd never heard of and to a literature I knew almost nothing about and to words I'd never heard before” (Rowell and Butler 1997, 60). Butler remembers her last year at the college as “very strange, because we had assassinations for midterm and finals,” referring to the murders of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy (60). Butler locates the origin of Kindred in a student’s comment from this period: I heard some remarks from a young man who was the same age I was but who had apparently never made the connection with what his parents did to keep him alive. He was still blaming them for their humility and their acceptance of disgusting behavior on the part of employers and other people.
