The Women Of Owen Clinic And Their Impact On Rural Mental Health, Mallory Stanley
The Women Of Owen Clinic And Their Impact On Rural Mental Health, Mallory Stanley
Manuscripts
The mid-1900s was a pivotal moment in reforming mental health treatment in American Psychiatry. This movement becomes particularly clear when examining the championing work of two women, Dr. Thelma V. Owen and Dr. M. G. Stemmermann, at a rural mental health facility located in Huntington, WV: Owen Clinic Institute. While mental health stigma was at an extreme high among the general population, many factors aligned to allow for a new era of mental health care, including deinstitutionalization, World War II, and the advocation of professionals in the field. In West Virginia, no two people were more outspoken and active in …

Marriage Vows And Economic Discrimination: The Married Teacher Problem, Sabrina Thomas
Marriage Vows And Economic Discrimination: The Married Teacher Problem, Sabrina Thomas
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This study analyzes the rapid increase of economic discrimination against married women teachers in the early twentieth century, particularly during the Depression. It challenges the notion that economic discrimination against married women teachers was simple, easy, and largely was unchallenged. I argue that the creation and proliferation of marriage bars in the early twentieth century involved a compounded and multifaceted set of economic and social concerns. Support for this argument is accomplished by examination of the national debate on marriage bars as well as careful investigation of the local debate illustrated in Huntington, West Virginia.
