And it was only fifty-seven years since Elizabeth Blackwell, applying for permission to win a medical diploma, was refused by a dozen colleges, one of which added to its refusal the interesting statement that :it would be unbecoming and immoral to see a woman instructed in the nature and laws of her organism.’ Now, in the United States alone, there are seven medical colleges for women besides the men’s colleges to which they are admitted, over 7,000 are practicing physicians and surgeons, and the theories for and against such things are being forgotten in the light of their actual work. The same opposition met every new venture. About fifty years ago an Englishman tried to introduce watchmaking among his countrywoman, a delicate and profitable trade in which hundreds of Swiss women were employed, but is initial lecture on the subject was mobbed and broken up by British prejudice, and, though three venturesome souls did try to follow his suggestion and learn the trade, persecution finally obliged them to give it up. Now there are over 4,000 watch and clock-makers in the Unites States, and a woman may learn any trade she pleases without opposition, almost without comment.” Location Lower Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With the exception of Senator RObert L. Owen of Oklahoma those who appeared in favor of the enfranchisement of the women of the land had all their Sunday clothes on. Judge John Jacob Jenkens, chairman of the committee, opened the proceedings. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Warren, O., introduced the suffragists with the remark that she was not afraid of the judiciary committee or anybody else. She was provided with a bell which she rang when she thought the speakers had consumed enough time. The first time it rang one or two of the women looked around in dismay. Once or twice the bell had to be rung with great insistence before the enthused female orator would yield to another. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt opened the arguments by saying that Great Britain had done more its women in the suffrage line that has the United States; that South Africa and Canada had given the right of municipal suffrage to their women, while Norway and Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries had given every suffrage right to their women. The last speaker was Senator Robert Owen of Oklahoma, who made a strong speech for women suffrage. “Every god principle I have learned,” he said, “everything of good morals and good manners, I received from a women. And I have observed in history that just as high as is the position given to women in a nation just so surely will that nation rise to distinction and fame. “I give my adherence to this cause with enthusiasm and with religious zeal. I know when I serve the women I serve God. I know it is a just cause, because I have studied it, and I have studied deeply. As the women are, so is the nation.

Student Name Emma Roberts Summary A young girl and her male teacher physically fight each other in the classroom after “war was declared” between them, the girl proving “that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.” Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19060310&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Young Miss Whips Her Male Teacher Fight creates pandemonium in a school-house Girl “sasses” pedagogue Latter soon learns his mistake when he attempts to punish her--Help finally comes to his rescue. Maryland, N.Y.-- Last Friday was a day of unusual activity in the school house in the Gurney district on Crumhorn. On the previous Wednesday, so the story goes, the teacher, Charles Tubbs, had an altercation with two of his scholars, Otis Blencoe and Frank Hitchman, about eating candy in school. Both were told by Tubbs to go home. Hitchman obeyed, but the Blencoe lad refused to budge. When leaving the school house that afternoon he was told not to return until the following noon. He replied that if he could not return in the morning he would not come at all. He did not present himself at school the following day. On Friday a bout of words took place between the teacher and Miss May Blencoe, the 15-year-old and buxom sister of Otis. It is alleged that the young miss “sassed” the teacher, who seemed to think the dignity of his position had been assailed, and he ordered her to take her belongings and go home. This she peremptorily refused to do. At this point war was declared, and the teacher cleared the deck for action. Seizing a heavy stick, he demanded the young lady’s hand- not in marriage-- but for the purpose of playing a tatoo on her pal,. She refused to to present her hand, and the blows from the stick descended thick and fast on her shoulders. This was more than her American girlhood could endure, and she made a catch -as-catch can rush on the rural pedagogue, with the result that he found his pedal extremities flying in the air and his black resting on the uncushioned seat which had been occupied by his strenuous pupil. This was only the opening of hostilities. The girl had scored in the first round, but the schoolmaster was determined not to be done by a schoolgirl. Pandemonium reigned supreme. The small children rna from the building crying from fright. The teacher called upon one of the pupils for assistance, but this was refused. Finally his hands found the white throat of his adversary; but this did not work, for a longer arm than his own fetched down on his larynx and a muscular hand made his breathing heavy and difficult. The young girl’s hair was disheveled and hanging down her shoulders. Seeing this, Tubbs grabbed the golden locks, and it is said he gave them a severe pull. This redoubled the anger of Miss Blencoe, and she raised her assailant up and threw him on the floor with a dull thud. With a firm hand she gently pressed the teacher’s windpipe, while her knee made his vest grate on his spinal column. In this manner she held him until assistance came, when she released him, and, taking a younger member of the family with her, she quickly left the schoolhouse. It is said that her waist was nearly torn from her body and that her back and shoulders were literally covered with bruises. She has demonstrated what has often been proven before, that the American girl is abundantly able to take care of herself.
