A Kentucky Dressmaker, Mrs. A.H. (Carrie) Taylor: An Examination Of Her Role In Fashion At The Turn Of The Century, Janice Centers

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

One dressmaker, Mrs. A. H. Taylor of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was studied in order to draw attention to the role of the dressmaker in American fashion. A biography of Mrs. A. H. Taylor and the business history were compiled; available designs were analyzed in relation to current fashion; and an investigation of the business organization was made. It was found that the dressmaking establishment played an important role in the lives of women of that time period. Fashionable custom fit clothing was made available to local residents and to mail-order customers. The establishment was one of the few businesses which …

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 …

The Married Women's Property Act, 1882: A Study Of Victorian Reform, Charles Norbert

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The major purpose of this thesis was to analyze and evaluate the development of the Married Women's Property Act of 1882. This Act exemplified the effort to improve the rights of women in nineteenth century Britain. Similar to the series of Reform Acts, the series of Married Women's Property Acts (1870, 1874, 1882 and 1893) represented the gradual extension of the tenets of Victorian liberalism to a broader portion of the English population. The unique feature of these Acts was that they marked the transcendence of liberalism over sexual barriers.

In order to understand the significance of these Acts it …

Women In Astronomy In The United States 1875-1920, Pamela Etter Mack

Publications

In the period from about 1875 to 1920 (the dates are only intended to be approximate) more than 164 women held astronomical jobs in the United States, and a few became famous for important scientific contributions. This seems surprising at first, because it is not a period in which many opportunities were open to women, particularly for intellectual pursuits. This thesis will examine the development of a role for women in astronomy and the reasons for the acceptance of women into this field. The goal is to show how the scientific work done by the women astronomers was affected by …
