The Idaho Territorial Penitentiary's First Female Inmate, Fred E. Woods
The Idaho Territorial Penitentiary's First Female Inmate, Fred E. Woods
Faculty Publications
While doing research on the experience of Mormon polygamists incarcerated at the Idaho Penitentiary, Fred Woods became curious about a woman imprisoned there at the same time. The Idaho Penitentiary's Convict Register names "Heneba" as the first female inmate received, on May 31, 1887. Next to her name is written in parentheses "squaw." For many years it has been unclear whether "Heneba" was her first or last name and what the background of this mysterious Native American was. Information about her age at the time of her incarceration, her family life, and the details of her later years and death …

Policy May Jeopardize Safety, Kathryn Ritchie
Policy May Jeopardize Safety, Kathryn Ritchie
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
An informed community is a safe community, according to Public Safety Police Lt. Alan Stormann, but recent actions suggest the campus police are only willing to go so far in keeping the community informed. In 1996, seven "forcible rapes" were reported in the university's annual safety and security information report. The definition of forcible rape includes forcible "fondling, non-forcible incest and statutory rape." Of the seven reported "forcible rapes," according to Lt. Stormann, three were actual rapes, one was an attempted rape, two involved offensive touching and the last one involved a man masturbating on a woman. Of the seven …

The penalties levied by the University of Maine against a student accused of issuing a violent threat on FirstClass [the University's email system] have been set, but an investigation by UMaine's Public Safety continues. Casey Belanger, 19, of Caribou, has been ordered by UMaine to serve 30 hours of community service over two semesters. The university has also suspended his FirstClass account and placed him on "probated suspension." The punishment sought by the state, however, is potentially more severe.

The suit claims Casey Belanger, 19, of Orono, violated the Maine Civil Rights Act...

Women, Technology, And Rural Life: Some Recent Literature, Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Women, Technology, And Rural Life: Some Recent Literature, Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Historical study of American farm women has had a relatively short life, reaching back approximately twenty years. Rural women rarely existed in earlier scholarship that reserved the categories of farmer and farming for males. Agricultural history thus manifested itself as a story of men and their tools, stretching back historiographically into the early days of the 20th century. Although in 1953 Jared van Wagenen described in careful detail many of the physical processes of farming in The Golden Age of Homespun, the women's work from which he derived his title occupied less than twenty pages at the end of his …
