High Desert Homesteader: Alice Day Pratt, A Single Woman In Post, Oregon, Cathleen Croghan Alzner
High Desert Homesteader: Alice Day Pratt, A Single Woman In Post, Oregon, Cathleen Croghan Alzner
Dissertations and Theses
It is important to recognize the role of women in the development of the Trans-Mississippi West. Of the thousands of homesteaders, a significant percentage were single women. While a few historians have documented women homesteaders on the Great Plains, there is little information about those in the Pacific Northwest, particularly Oregon. The efforts of homesteaders who came to Central Oregon at the beginning of the twentieth century provide valuable information about the development of the region.
The purpose of this study is to document the homesteading efforts of Alice Day Pratt, a single woman and teacher. It attempts to put …
The Emergence Of An Icon: The Frida Kahlo Cult, Teresa Neva Tate
The Emergence Of An Icon: The Frida Kahlo Cult, Teresa Neva Tate
Dissertations and Theses
At her death in 1954, Frida Kahlo was known as little more than the wife of muralist Diego Rivera. Since then her art and personae have taken on a cult-like following and she has become an icon of popular culture. Thus far Frida's repute has stretched across three decades, from the 1970s, 1980s, and into the 1990s. Frida's popularity is viewed as primarily emerging from the Women's Movement of the 1970s. However, interest from many other groups have carried her image into the 1980s and 1990s. Aside from the Women’s Movement, Frida's popularity reflects a growing interest in Mexico, specifically …
The Family And Women In The Fifteenth Century: A Case Study Of The Pastons, Diana Thurman
The Family And Women In The Fifteenth Century: A Case Study Of The Pastons, Diana Thurman
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis questions the prevailing historical models of the medieval family, using the Paston family as a test case. It reviews the theories of three prominent historians of the medieval family: Lawrence Stone, Ralph Houlbrooke and Joel Rosenthal. Whether the Paston family and particularly the women fit the models of families as defined by the above mentioned historians is the underlying question. If the Paston family does not fit these models, what does that tell us about the current assumptions made concerning the fifteenth century family?
The thesis illustrates that the family models of Stone do not always apply to …
Lola G. Baldwin And The Professionalization Of Women's Police Work, 1905-1922, Gloria Elizabeth Myers
Lola G. Baldwin And The Professionalization Of Women's Police Work, 1905-1922, Gloria Elizabeth Myers
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis traces the emergence of the American policewomen's movement through the career of Portland, Oregon's Lola Greene Baldwin, the first such officer hired by a municipality. It recounts the conditions which marked Baldwin's transition from a volunteer moral purity worker to a professional urban vice detective. The thesis connects Baldwin and her new profession to the Progressive era's social hygiene impulse. It considers how government absorption of the social hygiene agenda influenced the enforcement attitudes and methods of the early policewoman. Further, this work looks at the way Baldwin functioned within the bureaucracies and political structures of her environment. …
English Housewives In Theory And Practice, 1500-1640, Lynn Ann Botelho
English Housewives In Theory And Practice, 1500-1640, Lynn Ann Botelho
Dissertations and Theses
Women in early modem England were expected to marry, and then to become housewives. Despite the fact that nearly fifty percent of the population was in this position, little is known of the expectations and realities of these English housewives. This thesis examines both the expectations and actual lives of middling sort and gentry women in England between 1500 and 1640.
Burns'eko Etxekoandreak: Basque Women Boarding House Keepers Of Burns, Oregon, Paquita Lucia Garatea
Burns'eko Etxekoandreak: Basque Women Boarding House Keepers Of Burns, Oregon, Paquita Lucia Garatea
Dissertations and Theses
The migration of the Basques to the Pacific Northwest at the turn of the century was due to a number of factors including economic, cultural and political. The Basques constitute a distinct ethnic group from northern Spain and southern France, whose origins have not yet been determined by historical, linguistic, or archaeological studies. From ancient times, the Basques have fought to maintain their cultural identity and political freedom against invaders, developing in this struggle a strong sense of racial group solidarity. The lack of opportunity for advancement and the obligation to serve in the military were added reasons for the …
The Loss Of Feminine Representation From The Aeneid To The Confessions, Merlin Douglass
The Loss Of Feminine Representation From The Aeneid To The Confessions, Merlin Douglass
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
This paper argues that “the change in the power of women from the time of Vergil to the time of Augustine altered the way in which they were represented” in the seminal texts of Vergil’s Aeneid and Augustine’s Confessions. Augustine’s Confessions have long been thought to be inspired by and echoing of the Aeneid. This paper, however, suggests that the striking loss of the female voice from the Aeneid to the Confessions is a result of the changed status of female power between the two time periods as well as a reminder of the purpose of the Confessions: to show …

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 …
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 …
