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.

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.

Book excerpt: The Florence Polk Holding Papers consist of correspondence, a course notebook, writings, a commencement program, and biographical information. The papers primarily reflect her social and academic life as a student at Mount Holyoke College, 1898-1902. The bulk of her correspondence was written while she was a student at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts from 1896-1898 and at Mount Holyoke College, 1898-1902. Letters written to family from Cushing Academy relate to her plans to attend Mount Holyoke, academics, and adjusting to being away from home. Several of the letters were written to her father while he traveled through the United States West. The letters from her years as a student at Mount Holyoke College discuss her studies, trips to Northampton, Holyoke, and Springfield, Massachusetts with friends, her plans for holiday breaks, and items she would like sent from home. Holding mentions traditions such as the Senior-Freshman Reception and notes attention paid to her by College presidents Elizabeth Storrs Mead and Mary Emma Woolley. Holding's papers include one letter to her brother and another to a friend, both of which focus much more heavily on her social life. These letters reflect Holding's interest in Yale men and other social activities. Contained in the papers is a zoology notebook used for Zoology 1 and 2 (1900-1901), which shows her meticulous work in sketching diagrams of various invertebrates. Another significant portion of the collection consists of letters written during her adult life. Five letters are from Frances Perkins who was Holding's classmate and Secretary of Labor for Franklin D. Roosevelt. These letters reflect a strong friendship between the classmates and show a more personal side of Perkins. They primarily discuss plans to see each other and class reunions.There is also a sympathy letter from Perkins to Holding, offering condolences for the death of Archibald M. Holding. In one letter dated March 9, 1953, Perkins discusses the death of her husband Paul Caldwell Wilson in religious terms, and thanks Holding for her condolences. This letter also comments on the need for political, economic, and spiritual diversity in the United States. Perkins also praises Holding's writing, as do William Lyon Phelps and Mary Emma Woolley in other letters. This writing, which is included in the collection, consists of an article Holding wrote for the May 1943 "Mount Holyoke Alumnae Quarterly" entitled "Another Famous Mount Holyoke Husband," which was about Owen Roberts, husband of Elizabeth Rogers Roberts, Class of 1902, and her book "Oiseaux de Passage" (1932) which describes two summers of travel in the Fontainebleau region of France.

Download or read book Citizens of the World written by Megan Threlkeld and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1900 and 1950, many internationalist U.S. women referred to themselves as "citizens of the world." This book argues that the phrase was not simply a rhetorical flourish; it represented a demand to participate in shaping the global polity and an expression of women's obligation to work for peace and equality. The nine women profiled here invoked world citizenship as they promoted world government—a permanent machinery to end war, whether in the form of the League of Nations, the United Nations, or a full-fledged world federation. These women agreed neither on the best form for such a government nor on the best means to achieve it, and they had different definitions of peace and different levels of commitment to genuine equality. But they all saw themselves as part of a global effort to end war that required their participation in the international body politic. Excluded from full national citizenship, they saw in the world polity opportunities for engagement and equality as well as for peace. Claiming world citizenship empowered them on the world stage. It gave them a language with which to advocate for international cooperation. Citizens of the World not only provides a more complete understanding of the kind of world these women envisioned and the ways in which they claimed membership in the global community. It also draws attention to the ways in which they were excluded from international institution-building and to the critiques many of them leveled at those institutions. Women's arguments for world government and their practices of world citizenship represented an alternative reaction to the crises of the first half of the twentieth century, one predicated on cooperation and equality rather than competition and force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential women's colleges in the country, Wellesley has educated many illustrious women, from Katharine Lee Bates--author of America the Beautiful--to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Since its origins in the late nineteenth century, Wellesley has had an impact on American history and women's history. The college was unique in its commitment to an exclusively female faculty and much of its intellectual fervor can be traced back to them. This book is an engrossing narrative history of that first generation of Wellesley professors. Drawing on unpublished diaries, journals, family letters, and autobiographies, on newspapers and magazines, and on official Wellesley College records, Patricia Palmieri re-creates and reinterprets the lives and careers of many of the fifty-three senior women professors of the college. By exploring the family culture, education, and ideology of the "select few," she accounts for the rise of the first generation of academic women in post-Civil War America. Examining Wellesley's social and intellectual milieu, she radically revises standard accounts of the college as a citadel of enlightened domesticity between 1890 and 1920. She shows instead that its separatist women's community encouraged women students to renounce marriage and enter careers of public service, and she links Wellesley's educational climate to the social reform activism of the Progressive Era. In addition, she argues that these academic women formed a collective fellowship, which included many "Wellesley marriages." Ultimately society condemned Wellesley for its "spinster faculty," and by the 1930s the administration began to hire "happily married men." Nevertheless, the contemporary college owes much to the dedication and achievement of its pioneering women scholars.
