Margaret Pearmain Welch (1893–1984)
Author: Elizabeth F. Fideler
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532636911
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
In a bygone era when twentieth-century Proper Bostonians mixed Beacon Hill formalities with countryside pleasures, Margaret Pearmain Welch (1893-1984) defied the mores of her social set and got away with it. She was the epitome of everything expected and much that was scandalous. Known as a debutante, dancer, world traveler, and hostess, she was also an indefatigable activist, writer, lecturer, lobbyist, fundraiser, and opinion shaper--grande dame as well as proverbial little old lady in combat boots (footwear more appropriate to confrontation than tennis shoes). A descendant of seventeenth-century dissenter Anne Hutchinson and just as independent, she embraced Quaker ideals of religious tolerance, conscientious objection, and civil liberties, as well as worship without the benefit of clergy. Margaret was the quintessential socialite who established Waltz Evenings in her Louisburg Square drawing room and also the beauty whose marriages and divorces caused ostracism. At the same time, she worked tirelessly on women's suffrage, reproductive rights, world peace, environmental protection, monetary reform, land conservation, and more. As the indomitable matriarch of an extended family and chronicler of its history, her efforts at self-fashioning produced a unique persona, blending insistence on proprieties with a keen awareness of twentieth-century social, cultural, political, and economic shifts.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women at the University For the first time the University of Iowa is issuing as an official bulletin a document which is entirely the work of students. The idea was suggested by the President of the Women's Council, approved by the Dean of Women, and worked out by a representative committee of undergraduate women. Originally it was intended to be published as a handbook for women already on the campus, but the university editor, believing that young women planning to enter college would be interested in the ideals and activities of women students at the University of Iowa, offered to include it in the series of University bulletins.

Women and Migration
Author: Deborah Willis
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783745681
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The essays in this book chart how women’s profound and turbulent experiences of migration have been articulated in writing, photography, art and film. As a whole, the volume gives an impression of a wide range of migratory events from women’s perspectives, covering the Caribbean Diaspora, refugees and slavery through the various lenses of politics and war, love and family. The contributors, which include academics and artists, offer both personal and critical points of view on the artistic and historical repositories of these experiences. Selfies, motherhood, violence and Hollywood all feature in this substantial treasure-trove of women’s joy and suffering, disaster and delight, place, memory and identity. This collection appeals to artists and scholars of the humanities, particularly within the social sciences; though there is much to recommend it to creatives seeking inspiration or counsel on the issue of migratory experiences.
