The Quest For Woman Suffrage In Arkansas, Michele Roussel

Honors Theses

The struggle for woman suffrage in Arkansas and the entire United States did not end until the twentieth century. It was a long and difficult process but in 1917 with the passage of the Arkansas Primary Suffrage Bill, Arkansas women were allowed to vote in primaries. Then, in 1920 they were given full suffrage rights through the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. In order for these events to occur, women's traditional role had to change in Arkansas and the nation, and it had to be accepted by both men and women. The traditional view of women given by Anne Scott …

Oral History Interview: Irene D. Broh, Irene D. Broh

0064: Marshall University Oral History Collection

Irene D. Broh was born on November 20, 1880, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Through the influence of her mother, a suffragist who worked with Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Broh joined the suffrage movement and helped women earn the right to vote. After marrying Ephraim Broh in 1909, she moved to Huntington, WV, where she organized a suffrage club in 1915. Mrs. Broh became the first woman to vote in Cabell County, WV, in 1920. In her interview, Mrs. Broh focuses on her work for women’s suffrage.

Sam…Will Students Again Be A Political Force?, The Maine Campus

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Student Association of Maine has embraced an ominous task. In its effort to represent 32,000 post-secondary students throughout the state, conflicts are bound to surface. But if SAM can unify its student membership, the prospects for developing a powerful voice in Augusta, a voice that would be heard in the halls of the State House and reverberate back to individual campuses are bright.

Women's Studies Comes To The Military: Reflections On A Pilot Project, Margaret Mcfadden-Gerber

Women's Studies Quarterly

The overseas U.S. military base presents movement women with a complex and essentially hostile environment. The needs of four very different categories of women must be addressed: (1) women in uniform; (2) wives and daughters of servicemen; (3) wives and daughters of civil service employees; and (4) career civil service women. Since the "daughters" form a psychologically distinct group, they perhaps deserve their own niche. The picture is further complicated (and enriched) by the presence of numerous "host country" women who hold down a variety of jobs on base.

The "dependent wife," whether from the second or third category, experiences …

Affirmative Action Under Attack, Sheila Tobias

Women's Studies Quarterly

It is doubtful that serious discussion of Richard A. Lester's book on affirmative action (Antibias Regulations of Universities: Faculty Problems and Their Solutions, McGraw-Hill, 1974) can ever undo the damage caused by the flurry of misleading articles that appeared about the book in the New York Times, Newsweek, and The Chronicle of Higher Education six months ago. "Minority Hiring Said to Hurt Colleges," the New York Times headlined its front-page piece, continuing that minority hiring had caused a "lowering of standards and an undermining of faculty quality." Readers were left to assume that Lester had hard …

Women's History Library Closes, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Women's History Research Center Library permanently closed on September 30, 1974. Known as the Women's History Library, it served as the only international archive of the contemporary women's movement since 1968. The Library contained both movement and non-movement information on women in a variety of forms: newsclippings, journals, autobiographies, biographies, diaries, pamphlets, women's studies course outlines, newsletters, newspapers, and magazines. Two collections of great importance were the women's serials (The International Women's History Periodical Archive) and the 2,000 topical files (The Topical Research Library). These collections were recently given away or sold to offset debts. They were transferred to, …

Women's Studies At A State College, Elaine Hedges

Women's Studies Quarterly

The number of requests received at Towson State College (Maryland) for information on our Women's Studies Program suggests that the growth and expansion of women's studies is creating an as yet unfulfilled need for descriptions of how programs came into being, how they operate, survive, and, hopefully, flourish. What follows is an abbreviated version of our experience as faculty at Towson, with emphasis on our nature as a public, specifically a state, institution, and on the ways in which we have both accommodated ourselves to and profited from that public status.

Letters To The Editor, Eleanor Flexner, Cheri Register, Jennifer Macleod, Sandra Silver(Wo)Man

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Friends, Although she warned severely against "condescension," the writer of the article "reporting" on feminism at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho (Women's Studies Newsletter, Summer 1974) struck me as having enough of that quality and a good deal to spare, when it comes to the state of things there. Just a little swat such as "U.S. 95, the only federally numbered goat trail in the country" struck a pretty sour note, and of course she is not even accurate (unless "county" was intended instead of "country") and certainly conveys no image of the situation in …
