Book excerpt: A first-person account from Jessie Haver Butler, a suffragist on the front lines of the women's movement in 1920, with Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt. During her long life devoted to women's rights, Jessie lectured alongside George Bernard Shaw, Eleanor Roosevelt, Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas. Jessie escaped a childhood of unthinkable tragedies on a Colorado cattle ranch and went on to attend Smith College, which propelled her into the center of the fight for the rights of women. Inspired by meeting Susan B. Anthony at age ten, she later worked side by side with Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt. When women won the right to vote on August 18, 1920, Jessie became the first official woman lobbyist at the Capitol in Washington, D. C. She also helped establish the Pulitzer School of Journalism and set the first minimum wage for women. Jessie went on to live in London, where she shared the podium with George Bernard Shaw, attended parties with Emily Pankhurst, influenced Queen Mary, and met her lifelong friend, Lady Astor. Jessie later taught women the art of public speaking. She wrote Time to Speak Up and lectured alongside Eleanor Roosevelt, Gloria Steinem, and Marlo Thomas. She spoke out for women's rights throughout her life and well into her nineties. Jessie Haver Butler was an extraordinary woman, who lived her life with a spirit of adventure and open-mindedness. She was a mother, wife, and active community member, and her story weaves these threads together to complete her compelling journey-from cowgirl to Congress.

Download or read book Passing the Buck written by Jasmine Farrier and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years, Congress has dramatically changed its response to unpopular deficit spending. While the landmark Congressional Budget Act of 1974 tried to increase congressional budgeting powers, new budget processes created in the 1980s and 1990s were all explicitly designed to weaken member, majority, and institutional budgeting prerogatives. These later reforms shared the premise that Congress cannot naturally forge balanced budgets without new automatic mechanisms and enhanced presidential oversight. So Democratic majorities in Congress gave new budgeting powers to Presidents Reagan and Bush, and then Republicans did the same for President Clinton. Passing the Buck examines how Congress is increasing delegation of a wide variety of powers to the president in recent years. Jasmine Farrier assesses why institutional ambition in the early 1970s turned into institutional ambivalence about whether Congress is equipped to handle its constitutional duties.

Download or read book The Art of the Sister Chapel written by Andrew Hottle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women‘s art movement. Conceived as a nonhierarchical, secular commemoration of female role models, The Sister Chapel consisted of an eighteen-foot abstract ceiling that hung above a circular arrangement of eleven monumental canvases, each depicting the standing figure of a heroic woman. The choice of subject was left entirely to the creator of each work. As a result, the paintings formed a visually cohesive group without compromising the individuality of the artists. Contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures were portrayed by distinguished New York painters-Alice Neel, May Stevens, and Sylvia Sleigh-as well as their accomplished but less prominent colleagues. Among the role models depicted were Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, Betty Friedan, Joan of Arc, and a female incarnation of God. Although last exhibited in 1980, The Sister Chapel has lingered in the minds of art historians who continue to note its significance as an exemplar of feminist collaboration. Based on previously-unpublished archival materials and featuring dozens of rarely-seen works of art, this comprehensive study details the fascinating history of The Sister Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its ambitious creators.
