Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado Women is the first full-length chronicle of the lives, roles, and contributions of women in Colorado from prehistory through the modern day. A national leader in women's rights, Colorado was one of the first states to approve suffrage and the first to elect a woman to its legislature. Nevertheless, only a small fraction of the literature on Colorado history is devoted to women and, of those, most focus on well-known individuals. The experiences of Colorado women differed greatly across economic, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. Marital status, religious affiliation, and sexual orientation colored their worlds and others' perceptions and expectations of them. Each chapter addresses the everyday lives of women in a certain period, placing them in historical context, and is followed by vignettes on women's organizations and notable individuals of the time. Native American, Hispanic, African American, Asian and Anglo women's stories hail from across the state--from the Eastern Plains to the Front Range to the Western Slope--and in their telling a more complete history of Colorado emerges. Colorado Women makes a significant contribution to the discussion of women's presence in Colorado that will be of interest to historians, students, and the general reader interested in Colorado, women's and western history.

Download or read book Colorado Women in World War II written by Gail M. Beaton and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four months before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Mildred McClellan Melville, a member of the Denver Woman’s Press Club, predicted that war would come for the United States and that its long arm would reach into the lives of all Americans. And reach it did. Colorado women from every corner of the state enlisted in the military, joined the workforce, and volunteered on the home front. As military women, they served as nurses and in hundreds of noncombat positions. In defense plants they riveted steel, made bullets, inspected bombs, operated cranes, and stored projectiles. They hosted USO canteens, nursed in civilian hospitals, donated blood, drove Red Cross vehicles, and led scrap drives; and they processed hundreds of thousands of forms and reports. Whether or not they worked outside the home, they wholeheartedly participated in a kaleidoscope of activities to support the war effort. In Colorado Women in World War II Gail M. Beaton interweaves nearly eighty oral histories—including interviews, historical studies, newspaper accounts, and organizational records—and historical photographs (many from the interviewees themselves) to shed light on women’s participation in the war, exploring the dangers and triumphs they felt, the nature of their work, and the lasting ways in which the war influenced their lives. Beaton offers a new perspective on World War II—views from field hospitals, small steel companies, ammunition plants, college classrooms, and sugar beet fields—giving a rare look at how the war profoundly transformed the women of this state and will be a compelling new resource for readers, scholars, and students interested in Colorado history and women’s roles in World War II.
Download or read book The U S Women s Jury Movements and Strategic Adaptation written by Holly J. McCammon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When women won the vote in the United States in 1920 they were still routinely barred from serving as jurors, but some began vigorous campaigns for a place in the jury box. This book tells the story of how women mobilized in fifteen states to change jury laws so that women could gain this additional right of citizenship. Some campaigns quickly succeeded; others took substantially longer. The book reveals that when women strategically adapted their tactics to the broader political environment, they were able to speed up the pace of jury reform, while less strategic movements took longer. A comparison of the more strategic women's jury movements with those that were less strategic shows that the former built coalitions with other women's groups, took advantage of political opportunities, had past experience in seeking legal reforms and confronted tensions and even conflict within their ranks in ways that bolstered their action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the General Federation of Women's Clubs: For the First Twenty-Two Years of Its Organization The General Federation has passed its majority. For an organization with such genuine conservative action through a score of years, it is time we should look into the past, and present to those who follow its origin, the trend of life, the place the women of America hold among the women of the world, and the credit we wish to give to the men of our generation and of our country for most helpful cooperation. There has been constant constructive philosophy, literary, educational, civic, and altruistic, with no distinct period of demarcation, rather each working into and bringing out the most ideal and practical features of the other. Each administration has been in a sense personal, because the policy has been trusted to the presiding officer, but each has been wisely led, no fads or fancies allowed to creep in, and no exploiting of the organization for personal ends. When, upon order of the Convention at Cincinnati, the Committee was appointed to consider the history and bring recommendations to the Board of Directors, the names of those you will note in the book seemed peculiarly appropriate, from tried devotion, historical knowledge, and literary ability. This committee at large, without the knowledge of the one member upon whose brain and hands should fall the burden, recommended the editor, and this recommendation was unanimously adopted by the Board. We need hardly say to our readers that under such an editor the book offers historical accuracy in retrospect and action, keen insight into causes preceding this great union of force, as well as into the future possibility of well-directed effort, and a literary fascination that holds even the uninitiated. As a book of reference, it should be hi every library and upon every club table. Whatever comes to woman - work with the duties of citizenship or without - we should be ready with knowledge, judgment, and poise for conservative and progressive action.
