A New Force In Politics: The Suffragists' Experience In Connecticut, Carole Artigiani Nichols
A New Force In Politics: The Suffragists' Experience In Connecticut, Carole Artigiani Nichols
Women's History Theses
A great deal has been written on the women's rights movement of the early twentieth century from the perspective of its national leadership and the national suffrage organizations. Less research has focused on suffrage activities on the state level. The purpose of this essay is to examine the efforts of women in Connecticut to extend their political power; to analyze their ideas, goals, and tactics; to make some observations about feminist leadership; and to investigate the activities of politically-minded women in the years immediately following their enfranchisement.
As a result of this study, we may question the characterization of suffrage …
The Founding And Early Years Of The National Association Of Colored Women, Therese C. Tepedino
The Founding And Early Years Of The National Association Of Colored Women, Therese C. Tepedino
Dissertations and Theses
The National Association of Colored Women was formed in 1896, during a period when the Negro was encountering a great amount of difficulty in maintaining the legal and political rights granted to him during the period of reconstruction. As a result of this erosion· of power, some historians have contended that the Negro male was unable to effectively deal with the problems that arose within the Negro community. It was during this same period of time that the Negro woman began to assert herself in the affairs of her community. In the beginning, her work was done in conjunction with …
Partisans, Godmothers, Bicyclists, And Other Terrorists: Women In The French Resistance And Under Vichy, Rayna Kline
Partisans, Godmothers, Bicyclists, And Other Terrorists: Women In The French Resistance And Under Vichy, Rayna Kline
Dissertations and Theses
During the years 1940-1944, the period of the German Occupation, French women played an active role in the political sphere as part of the organized Resistance movements. The women who participated were not isolated examples, but an extremely diverse group that cut across social milieux, political alignments and religious persuasions. The range of their activity in the spectrum of roles and the differences in their style challenge the stereotypes and persistent attitudes in French culture about women’s nature.
Women were leaders in the principal Resistance movements, participated in the organization and dissemination of the underground press and in the organization …
Four Views Of The Nature And Role Of Women In Sixteenth Century Protestantism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, And English Puritanism, Marilyn Fagal Thomsen
Four Views Of The Nature And Role Of Women In Sixteenth Century Protestantism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, And English Puritanism, Marilyn Fagal Thomsen
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Never in its fifteen-hundred year history had the Roman Catholic Church been so shaken as when, in the sixteenth century, a mere handful of men advanced the Scriptural doctrines that were to result in the rise of Protestantism. The sole authority of the Bible, the priesthood of all believers, and righteousness by faith alone rapidly took hold in a large part of Europe, especially in Germany, Switzerland, the Lowlands, and England, where the Lutherans, Calvinists, Anabaptists, and Puritans came to the fore.
Because life in the sixteenth century was so closely tied up with the church, such a revolution was …
A History Of Female Missionary Activity In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, 1830-1898, Calvin S. Kunz
A History Of Female Missionary Activity In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, 1830-1898, Calvin S. Kunz
Theses and Dissertations
Latter-day Saint female missionary activities informally began in the early 1830's, remaining numerically unconstant until 1879, when a significant increase began. Between 1830 and 1898 over two hundred women had been involved in missionary work, laboring mostly in California, New York, Hawaii and England.
Before 1865, Latter-day Saint women did not have any official missionary status. After 1865, Church officials began the practice of setting them apart. Finally, in 1898 women were "certified" as missionaries which placed them on an equal status with their male counterparts.
Some lady missionaries performed household chores, taught school, preached sermons and presided over female …
Influences Affecting The Treatment Of Women Prisoners In Toronto, 1880 To 1890, M. Jennifer Brown
Influences Affecting The Treatment Of Women Prisoners In Toronto, 1880 To 1890, M. Jennifer Brown
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Treatment of women prisoners in the 1880’s was largely dependent on the general attitudes towards the importance of their roles in society. In late nineteenth century Toronto the expected roles of women of all classes were those of wife and mother within the home and, to a very limited extent, of worker within the community. The responses and behaviour of women, which naturally was dependent upon and reflective of the circumstances within which they existed, nonetheless influenced society’s conception of what types of female behaviour were considered criminal and with and for what women were charged and committed, namely, actions …
Diaries And Reminiscences Of Women On The Oregon Trail: A Study In Consciousness, Amy Kesselman
Diaries And Reminiscences Of Women On The Oregon Trail: A Study In Consciousness, Amy Kesselman
Dissertations and Theses
This study is an attempt to discover how women participating in the mid-nineteenth century migration to Oregon viewed the westward journey and themselves in relationship to it. It is not a survey of the responses of all women in the westward movement, but, rather, an exploration of the perspective of those women who left a written record of their perceptions or recollections. The thesis focuses on the diaries and reminiscences of women travelling, primarily but not exclusively, in the years 1851-1853.
The introductory material consists of a review of the existing historical literature on women and the West, and a …

The World Of Women: Portland, Oregon, 1860-1880, Mary C. Wright
Dissertations and Theses
The primary objective of this study is to find, statistically, how the women of Portland lived out their lives. By exploring the role of ethnicity, work and family, and the inter-relationships of these variables, upon their life choices, it is hoped a picture of women will result that can be used as a base for further interpretations on the community of women and the role they play in society.
The study is based on data gathered from the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Federal Manuscript Census Schedules for the city of Portland and East Portland and utilizes a sample of 8,012 …

This thesis is a study of the differences between the Mormon and Gentile presses concerning the subject of woman suffrage.

Some Phases Of The History Of The Woman's Movement In Tennessee, Elizabeth Stone Hoyt
Some Phases Of The History Of The Woman's Movement In Tennessee, Elizabeth Stone Hoyt
Masters Theses
The discussion of the woman's movement in this thesis will not refer exclusively to feminine operations for equal suffrage, but will include, also, the intellectual, the political, the humanitarian, and the economic development of women. One cannot say dogmatically that on such a day in such a month of such a year woman started to free herself from her inferior position. The woman's movement, like other great movements, has been in the process of evolution during a long period of time. In practice, woman's position has varied from age to age; but, in theory, woman has not been considered an …

A Thesis Submitted To The Faculty In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Bachelor Of Arts, Sister Mary Francis Borgia
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
A Congregation of Colored Sisters in New Orleans! To those unfamiliar with the history of the Crescent City, this seems not only an impossibility. Was not New Orleans the slave mart of the South? Is not the color or race prejudice a traditional still adhered to? Is this Congregation in its infancy? If so, when was it founded and by whom? These, and many other questions of the same type are asked by tourists when they are informed that the building on Orleans Street, formerly the Orleans b ballroom, is the Convent of the Holy Family and the motherhouse of …
