"Is This What We Came To Florida For?": Florida Women And The Fight Against Air Pollution In The 1960s, Scott Hamilton Dewey
Florida Historical Quarterly
Environmentalism sometimes has been characterized, and criticized, as primarily a men’s movement. Most of the early conservationists were indeed men preoccupied with outdoor recreation and wilderness experiences.2 Yet beginning in the late nineteenth century, women throughout the United States took a leading role in what would become by 1970 one of the most important branches of the environmental movement— the fight against air pollution. Although women reformers were never the only group combating air pollution, they frequently were among the most numerous and radical of such early environmental activists.

Ruth Bryan Owen: Florida's First Congresswoman And Lifetime Activist, Sally Vickers
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Ruth Bryan Owen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by Rollins College in 1927, she had yet to hold an elected office. A year before Owen won election as Florida’s first congresswoman, her contemporaries were already commemorating her meritorious work on behalf of her state and her country. Public recognition of Owen’s civic activism continued throughout a career that encompassed two terms in the United States House of Representatives, an appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Denmark, and service to the United Nations as an advisor and alternate delegate to the General Assembly.

"Without Compromise Or Fear": Florida's African American Female Activists, Maxine D. Jones
Florida Historical Quarterly
In his study of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, historian Charles Payne observed that “men led but women organized.“2 With few exceptions the same could be said of African American activists in Florida throughout the twentieth century. Women played a major role in combating racism and discrimination, and in seeking first-class citizenship for black Floridians.

From The Margins To The Center: Southern Women's Activism, 1820-1970, Jean Gould Bryant
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1988, participants in the First Southern Conference on Women’s History lamented the neglect of southern women’s history. Despite the rich research possibilities suggested by Gerda Lerner’s 1967 biography of the Grimké sisters of South Carolina and her documentary history, Black Women in White America (1972), and by Anne Firor Scott’s The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930 (1970), only a small fraction of the new scholarship on women’s history dealt with the South.1 Women’s historians focused largely on women in the North, while southern historians examined race, but not gender, and African American historians generally ignored black women …

Clubwomen And Civic Activism: Willie Lowry And Tampa's Club Movement, Patricia Dillon
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1900, only six years after moving to Tampa, Florida, Willie Miller Lowry spearheaded a drive to solicit funds from Andrew Carnegie to build a public library. Throughout her correspondence with Carnegie, Lowry repeatedly described Tampa’s rapid development and the need for new educational facilities. She argued that the library would not only provide improved educational standards but would also help to cultivate middle-class American values in the city’s immigrant population. Lowry reported that “one to one-half of Tampa’s population are Cubans and Spaniards, who, though fast becoming Americanized, stand in dire need of uplifting and educational advantages.“

Florida's Seed Corn: The History Of The West Florida Seminary During The Civil War, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
Most students of the Civil War are familiar with the role the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) cadets played in the 1864 Battle of New Market. The young soldiers fought valiantly in that southern victory and suffered more than fifty casualties, including ten dead or mortally wounded. Cadets from the South Carolina Military Academy in Charleston also saw active service, as did those from the Georgia Military Institute and the University of Alabama. Though lesser known than these famous schools, Florida’s Seminary West of the Suwannee was one of only a handful of such schools still operating at the war’s close, …

Race And Civil War In South Florida, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two Floridas shared one state in 1860, and the racial demographics and the mechanics of race relations differed significantly between the two regions. Most studies of slavery and race in Florida directly before and during the Civil War have dealt with the state’s more densely populated and economically developed northern plantation region. Race relations in antebellum and wartime South Florida have received relatively little attention. From the outbreak of the Civil War through the early years of Reconstruction, however, the issues of race, slavery, and freedom profoundly shaped events from Tampa to Key West, developments compounded by the extensive Union …

Grander In Her Daughters: Florida's Women During The Civil War, Tracy J. Revels
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The citizens of the Flowery are determined to maintain their just rights at all hazards; and the fair daughters of Florida are prompt to encourage and cheer their bold defenders,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on February 2, 1861.1 The newspaper not only relayed the latest happenings in the secession movement but prophetically established the trend for the historical view of women’s lives during the Civil War.
