Other correspondence is with Mount Holyoke College alumnae and members of alumnae clubs, representatives of academic institutions, and many organizations, including The American Association of University Women, the League of Nations Association, and the League of Women Voters. These letters most often concern speeches and articles that Woolley presented to various groups. Other correspondence concerns individuals whom she invited to speak at Mount Holyoke College.

Carey Thomas, Jane Addams, Frances Perkins, and Virginia Woolf as well as letters from many Mount Holyoke College trustees, faculty, staff and alumnae.

Download or read book Miss Marks and Miss Woolley written by Anna Mary Wells and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It reached fruition before either woman suspected that there was anything socially unacceptable or abnormal in love between women. That realization probably came first to Marks, and she made an effort to break away. The failure of that effort, and the subsequent attempts to conform to social norms without relinquishing their binding affection, was costly for both women. Based on letters recently discovered among the Mary Emma Woolley Papers willed to the Mt. Holyoke Library by Marks--letters still in their original envelopes, addressed in Woolley's hand or Marks's difficult scrawl, neatly wrapped, labeled and dated for all the years of their involvement--this book recreates a relationship that caused enough gossip at the time to insure the appointment of a man to succeed Woolley, thus outraging every feminist in the land.

Download or read book A Male President for Mount Holyoke College written by Ann Karus Meeropol and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A struggle arose over who would succeed Mary Emma Woolley as president of Mount Holyoke College in 1937. Over her 36-year tenure, Woolley had transformed Mount Holyoke into an elite women's college in which leadership in the administration and faculty was almost exclusively female. Beginning in 1933, a group of male trustees determined to change the college. This book tells the story of how this group dominated the search process and ultimately convinced the majority of the trustees to offer the presidency to Roswell Gray Ham, an associate professor of English at Yale University.
Download or read book To Believe in Women written by Lillian Faderman and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-06-08 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and “often quite moving” look at gay women’s role in US history (The Washington Post). In this “essential and impassioned addition to American history,” the three-time Lambda Literary Award winner and author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers focuses on a select group of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century lesbians who were in the forefront of the battle to procure the rights and privileges that large numbers of Americans enjoy today (Kirkus Reviews). Hoping to “set the record straight (or, in this case, unstraight)” for all Americans and provide a “usable past” for lesbians in particular, Lillian Faderman persuasively argues that the sexual orientation of her subjects may in fact have facilitated their accomplishments. With impeccably drawn portraits of such seminal figures as Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Eleanor Roosevelt, To Believe in Women “will raise eyebrows and consciousness” (Dianne Wood Middlebrook). As Faderman writes in her introduction, “This is a book about how millions of American women became what they are now: full citizens, educated, and capable of earning a decent living for themselves.” A landmark work of impeccable research and compelling readability, To Believe in Women is an enlightening and surprising read. “For those who need a dose of pride and a slice of history, Faderman’s portraits should strike a popular note. ‘To Believe in Women’ is a decent starting point for learning about these pioneers and their contributions to American life.” —The New York Times

Download or read book Mormon Polygamous Families written by Jessie L. Embry and published by Greg Kofford Books. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mormons and non-Mormons all have their views about how polygamy was practiced in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Embry has examined the participants themselves in order to understand how men and women living a nineteenth-century Victorian lifestyle adapted to polygamy. Based on records and oral histories with husbands, wives, and children who lived in Mormon polygamous households, this study explores the diverse experiences of individual families and stereotypes about polygamy.The interviews are in some cases the only sources of primary information on how plural families were organized. In addition, children from monogamous families who grew up during the same period were interviewed to form a comparison group. When carefully examined, most of the stereotypes about polygamous marriages do not hold true. In this work it becomes clear that Mormon polygamous families were not much different from Mormon monogamous families and non-Mormon families of the same era. Embry offers a new perspective on the Mormon practice of polygamy that enables readers to gain better understanding of Mormonism historically.
