Book Gulick Papers

Download or read book Gulick Papers written by Alice Gordon Gulick and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alice Gordon Gulick papers consist of correspondence, writings, biographical information, memorabilia, and photographs and portraits. The material primarily relates to her work in Spain, both as a missionary and as founder of the International Institute for Girls in Spain (or the Instituto Internacional) in Madrid. Included are nine letters from Gulick to Emily F. Perrin, a friend from Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, which date from 1870-1882. These letters reflect key moments in Gulick's life, including her marriages, the births of her children, and the founding of her school. They also discuss the Gulicks' home in Spain, the poverty surrounding them, and their early work in that country. In one letter she asks Perrin to collect old clothing to send to Spain for the people living near the Gulicks in Santander. The writings 1880-1898 consist predominantly of work published in pamphlets associated with their mission. Written by Gulick or her husband, the Christian-oriented writings address the start of the Spanish American War (1898), reflect the circumstances and welfare of those around them, and discuss the ordeals faced by a mother in Spain. The biographical information consists primarily of newspaper articles and other writings about Gulick, 1867-1904. Most of the articles pay tribute to her as an educator and mark advancements of the Instituto Internacional in Spain. The photographs and portraits of Gulick are formal poses as early as her photograph for Mount Holyoke Female Seminary as an instructor up until the time of her death.

Book The Role of the American Board in the World

Download or read book The Role of the American Board in the World written by Clifford Putney and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was the country's first creator of overseas Christian missions. Founded in 1810 and supported by a coalition of Calvinist denominations, the ABCFM established the first American missions in India, China, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and many other places. It was America's largest missionary organization in the nineteenth century, and its influence was immense. Its missionaries established the first Western schools and hospitals in many parts of the world, and they successfully promoted women's rights and other ideals from the Enlightenment. They also transformed oral languages such as Zulu, Hawaiian, and Cherokee into written form, and they preserved many elements of premodern cultures (albeit not always intentionally). The contributors to this book provide valuable insights on the work of the ABCFM (which exists today under a different name). Some of the contributors profile the lives of notable ABCFM missionaries, others focus on ideological shifts within the Board, and still others chronicle the Board's role in historic events, including the Opium Wars, the colonization of Hawai'i, and the Armenian Genocide. From reading this book, people will come to understand why the ABCFM is widely viewed as America's most historically significant missionary organization.

Book The Selected Papers of Jane Addams

Download or read book The Selected Papers of Jane Addams written by Jane Addams and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venturing into Usefulness, the second volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams, documents the experience of this major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author between June 1881, when at twenty-one she had just graduated from Rockford Female Seminary, and early 1889, when she was on the verge of founding the Hull-House settlement with Ellen Gates Starr. During these years she was developing into the social reformer and advocate of women's rights, socioeconomic justice, and world peace she would eventually become. She evolved from a high-minded but inexperienced graduate of a women's seminary into an educated woman and seasoned traveler well-exposed to elite culture and circles of philanthropy. Artfully annotated, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams offers an evocative choice of correspondence, photographs, and other primary documents, presenting a multi-layered narrative of Addams's personal and emerging professional life. Themes inaugurated in the previous volume are expanded here, including dilemmas of family relations and gender roles; the history of education; the dynamics of female friendship; religious belief and ethical development; changes in opportunities for women; and the evolution of philanthropy, social welfare, and reform ideas.
