Specifically Ruth Helds article “San Diego High School, 1882-1982. A Momentous 100 Years: The Story of San Diego High School.” Which delves into the values of education in the 1890’s for me this important in any historical review in women studies because in most societies women are the care givers to children and you can learn a lot about the women by studying what was being given to their children. The articles “The Ramona Castle: Irene Amy Strong 's Home and the Craftsman Movement” by Linda Roth and “LYDIA KNAPP HORTON: A "Liberated" Woman in Early San Diego” by Elizebeth C. MacPHAIL are important at explaining how in the west being a clever could make you well off in the west if you were woman. Lastly “Water Supply Development in San Diego and a Review of Related Outstanding Projects” by Mike Sholders is a great analysis on how the city was being planned to be built in future and how other cities in California felt about the City of San Diego. The book Richard F. Pourade, writes The Glory Years. Vol. 4. Continues this view on the city being built but focus in on the disasters that plagued the city and on the transportation lines built in the city. I do not plan to use these two sources as heavily as the others but they are crucial for giving context to these newspaper

    1997 Words  | 8 Pages

    Where American Reformers: 1815-1860 highlights the importance of women in the later stages of the reform movements in America, Barbara Leslie Epstein, within Politics of Domesticity: Evangelism and Temperance in 19th Century America, provides a more focussed analysis of the role of women. In particular, Epstein considers role of women’s institutions at the time, such as the Women’s Christian Temperance Movement, and their role when considering economic and cultural change. Epstein ability to link American history with Women’s history during this period is considered a significant strength of her study. The main thesis within Politics of Domesticity is that women adopted Temperance as a means to politically extend domestically nurtured values of the time. Furthermore, Epstein’s work is accurate in lining the role of women to other reform movements and issues during the time, such as Suffrage and Education and the positive effect marches and protest could have on influencing male behaviour.

Although women were largely marginalized in early New England life because of their gender, nevertheless Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s A Midwife’s Tale is instructive because it demonstrates the privilege of men’s authority in society
