Book excerpt: Founded in 1999 by Dr. Barbara A. Seals Nevergold and Dr. Peggy Brooks-Bertram, the Institute aims to collect, disseminate, and archive the histories of previously unheralded African Americans, as well as vulnerable documentation of African American local communities. Initially, the project was established prior to the 2001 centennial of the Pan American Exposition in order to commemorate the involvement of African American women and the local African American community in the 1901 international Exposition. The magnitude of the project quickly grew to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of specific African American women during the turn of the century period and in the century since the fair. The project transformed into a major documentation of regional African American history requiring a sustainable organizational framework. The Uncrowned Queens Institute was incorporated in 2002 and was designated a 501 (c) 3 organization in 2003. It has an 11 member board of directors and receives funding through individual and corporate donations and grants. Nevergold and Brooks-Bertram created their Uncrowned Queens model of historical documentation and preservation to focus on the incorporation of histories of lesser-known or unheralded individuals who proved to be "community builders." The stories of these women and, more recently, men are collected through the mediums of oral histories, biographical accounts, photos, and other supporting data. Web and digital technologies, as well as print publications, are incorporated to archive, preserve, and present the collection of personal histories and supporting documentation. Personal memories are the principal source of this compelling historical record; thus the Institute serves a crucial role in the investigation, generation, and presentation of a community's history through the voices of its formative "builders." The Institute's name, Uncrowned Queens, was derived from the 1917 poem, "America's Uncrowned Queens," by Oklahoma pioneer and poet, Drusilla Dunjee Houston. The poem celebrates "a group of tireless, self-sacrificing black women who worked for the betterment of family and community."

Download or read book Uncrowned Queen written by Nicola Tallis and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An "impeccably researched and beautifully written" biography of Lady Margaret Beaufort, matriarch of the Tudor dynasty (Tracy Borman, author of The Private Lives of the Tudors and Elizabeth's Women). In 1485, Henry VII became the first Tudor king of England. His victory owed much to his mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort. Over decades and across countries, Margaret had schemed to install her son on the throne and end the War of the Roses. Margaret's extraordinarily close relationship with Henry, coupled with her role in political and ceremonial affairs, ensured that she was treated -- and behaved -- as a queen in all but name. Against a lavish backdrop of pageantry and ambition, court intrigue and war, historian Nicola Tallis illuminates how a dynamic, brilliant woman orchestrated the rise of the Tudors.

Book excerpt: A portrait in her own words of the female Lawrence of Arabia, the subject of the PBS documentary Letters from Baghdad, voiced by Tilda Swinton, and the major motion picture Queen of the Desert, starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Damian Lewis, and Robert Pattinson and directed by Werner Herzog Gertrude Bell was leaning in 100 years before Sheryl Sandberg. One of the great woman adventurers of the twentieth century, she turned her back on Victorian society to study at Oxford and travel the world, and became the chief architect of British policy in the Middle East after World War I. Mountaineer, archaeologist, Arabist, writer, poet, linguist, and spy, she dedicated her life to championing the Arab cause and was instrumental in drawing the borders that define today’s Middle East. As she wrote in one of her letters, “It’s a bore being a woman when you are in Arabia.” Forthright and spirited, opinionated and playful, and deeply instructive about the Arab world, this volume brings together Bell’s letters, military dispatches, diary entries, and travel writings to offer an intimate look at a woman who shaped nations.
