Download or read book The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony In the school of anti slavery 1840 to 1866 written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the School of Anti-Slavery, 1840-1866 is the first of six volumes of The Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The collection documents the lives and accomplishments of two of America's most important social and political reformers. Though neither Stanton nor Anthony lived to see the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, each of them devoted fifty-five years to the cause. Their names were synonymous with woman suffrage in the United States and around the world as they mobilized thousands of women to fight for the right to a political voice. Opening when Stanton was twenty-five and Anthony was twenty, and ending when Congress sent the Fourteenth Amendment to the states for ratification, this volume recounts a quarter of a century of staunch commitment to political change. Readers will enjoy an extraordinary collection of letters, speeches, articles, and diaries that tells a story-both personal and public-about abolition, temperance, and woman suffrage. When all six volumes are complete, the Selected Papers of Stanton and Anthony will contain over 2,000 texts transcribed from their originals, the authenticity of each confirmed or explained, with notes to allow for intelligent reading. The papers will provide an invaluable resource for examining the formative years of women's political participation in the United States. No library or scholar of women's history should be without this original and important collection.
Download or read book Mrs Russell Sage written by Ruth Crocker and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of a ruling-class woman who created a new identity for herself in Gilded Age and Progressive Era America. A wife who derived her social standing from her robber-baron husband, Olivia Sage managed to fashion an image of benevolence that made possible her public career. In her husband's shadow for 37 years, she took on the Victorian mantle of active, reforming womanhood. When Russell Sage died in 1906, he left her a vast fortune. An advocate for the rights of women and the responsibilities of wealth, for moral reform and material betterment, she took the money and put it to her own uses. Spending replaced volunteer work; suffrage bazaars and fundraising fÃates gave way to large donations to favorite causes. As a widow, Olivia Sage moved in public with authority. She used her wealth to fund a wide spectrum of progressive reforms that had a lasting impact on American life, including her most significant philanthropy, the Russell Sage Foundation.
Download or read book Transforming Women s Education written by Jewel A. Smith and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female seminaries in nineteenth-century America offered middle-class women the rare privilege of training in music and the liberal arts. A music background in particular provided the foundation for a teaching career, one of the few paths open to women. Jewel A. Smith opens the doors of four female seminaries, revealing a milieu where rigorous training focused on music as an artistic pursuit rather than a social skill. Drawing on previously untapped archives, Smith charts women's musical experiences and training as well as the curricula and instruction available to them, the repertoire they mastered, and the philosophies undergirding their education. She also examines the complex tensions between the ideals of a young democracy and a deeply gendered system of education and professional advancement. An in-depth study of female seminaries as major institutions of learning, Transforming Women's Education illuminates how musical training added to women's lives and how their artistic acumen contributed to American society.

Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. 1854-1860.--Second Visit To Europe, And Literary LABOES. Mrs. *wtllard, like most people who have visited Europe, had a strong desire to revisit scenes of so much interest. She particularly desired to attend the World's Educational Convention, which was to be held in London during the summer of 1854. Still, the desired visit was attended with great difficulties. She was sixtynine years of age, and she could not go alone. Her son was preoccupied with the engrossing duties of the seminary. She must have a companion. So she selected her niece, Jane Lincoln, who had lived with her a considerable part of her life, whom she had educated, and to whom she was devotedly attached. But Mrs. Phelps was naturally unwilling to part with her daughter. After great importunities, the consent of Mrs. Phelps was finally obtained, and Mrs. Willard, accompanied by her niece, sailed in the Pacific, Captain Nye, June 24th, for Liverpool. She arrived, without any thing particularly interesting to chronicle, on July 6th, and proceeded at once to London, where she was warmly welcomed by Mr. Barnard, and was by him introduced to many who were eminent in the cause of education, and attended, with him, their most interesting meetings. She brought with her her own educational works, which she distributed to distinguished men. Unfortunately, I find no letters written by her during this visit to her numerous friends. From her diary, it would seem that she was well received by Mr. Buchanan, minister to London, and by many men of rank, including Sir John Herschel. She visited, once again, the various objects of interest in London, not surpassed, on the whole, I think, by those of any city in the world, but which are strangely neglected by American...

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Work in Middlebury, Vermont, of Emma Willard Mrs. Emma Willard is known as the pioneer in the great movement of the nineteenth century for the higher education of woman. To say that she had a genius for teaching, that she devised improved methods, that she wrote admirable textbooks, and that she impressed her own high ideals upon the characters of her pupils is indeed great praise. But it is a still greater glory to have started a movement which has revolutionized the ideas of the civilized world on the subject of woman's education, a movement which has culminated in the founding of grand colleges exclusively for women and in the admission of women to older colleges on equal terms with men. For it is not too much to say that Wellesley and Vas sar and their sister institutions on either side the Atlantic are the fair fruitage, in time, of those seminal ideas so ably set forth in Mrs. W illard's Plan of Female Education. It is interesting to study the origin of such a great movement; it is like tracing some noble river upward to its sources in the dis tant mountains. Let it be our pleasant task to search out, as far as possible, the influences that shaped Mrs. Willard's career as an educator. In so doing we shall find that the formative period of her life was the twelve years spent in Middlebury - a period passed over too cursorily in Dr. Lord's biography. The fresh interest in this truly great woman, awakened by the Emma Willard associa tions of the country, is an additional reason for considering more in detail the incidents of this portion of her life and for inquiring into the moral forces which called forth her grand ideas regarding the scope of woman's education. We should, as a preliminary, call to mind briefly the circum stances of her early life in Connecticut, her excellent parentage, the beautiful home life of her childhood, her two years of earnest study under Dr. Wells, her brilliant success as a teacher at the early age of 17. These facts help us to picture the bright, noble hearted woman who, at the age of 20, came in 1807 to take charge of the female academy at Middlebury.
