Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Emma Willard NO great benefactor ever did so much for woman, in ancient times, as Moses, whose comprehensive jurisprus dence tended to elevate the sex. He was the first who eu joined delicacy and kindness in the treatment of woman, and enforced justice as the law of all social relations. In the blessed harmonies of home, and in the awful sacredness of the person, we see the permanence of his in uence and the benignity Of his institutions.

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...

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 Time in Maps written by Kären Wigen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maps organize us in space, but they also organize us in time. Looking around the world for the last five hundred years, Time in Maps shows that today’s digital maps are only the latest effort to insert a sense of time into the spatial medium of maps. Historians Kären Wigen and Caroline Winterer have assembled leading scholars to consider how maps from all over the world have depicted time in ingenious and provocative ways. Focusing on maps created in Spanish America, Europe, the United States, and Asia, these essays take us from the Aztecs documenting the founding of Tenochtitlan, to early modern Japanese reconstructing nostalgic landscapes before Western encroachments, to nineteenth-century Americans grappling with the new concept of deep time. The book also features a defense of traditional paper maps by digital mapmaker William Rankin. With more than one hundred color maps and illustrations, Time in Maps will draw the attention of anyone interested in cartographic history.

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 text-books, 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 Vassar, and their sister institutions on either side of the Atlantic, are the fair fruitage, in time, of those seminal ideas so ably set forth in Mrs. Willard's "Plan of Female Education."

Download or read book All Girls written by Emily Layden and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A sincere, poignant and moving story of a group of teenage girls coming to terms with the world they've inherited' Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six An all-girls boarding school in a hilly corner of Connecticut, Atwater is a haven for progressive thinking and feminist intellectuals. The students are smart, driven and worldly; they are also teenagers, learning to find their way. But when they arrive on campus for the start of the fall term, they're confronted with startling news: an Atwater alumna has made a troubling allegation of sexual misconduct against an unidentified teacher. As the weeks wear on and the administration's efforts to manage the ensuing crisis fall short, these extraordinary young women come to realise that the adults in their lives may not be the protectors they previously believed. All Girls unfolds over the course of one tumultuous academic year and is told from the point of view of a small cast of diverse, interconnected characters as they navigate the social mores of prep school life and the broader, more universal challenges of growing up. The trials of adolescent girlhood are pitched against the backdrop of sexual assault, consent, anxiety and the ways that our culture looks to young women as trendsetters, but otherwise silences their voices and discounts their opinions. The story that emerges is a richly detailed, impeccably layered, and emotionally nuanced depiction of what it means to come of age in a female body today.
