Throughout history, women have often worked in informal ways and in modest conditions, frequently without monuments or grand examples of architecture preserved to commemorate their accomplishments. Landmarks of American Women's History describes the sites that represent a wide variety of women's experiences and accomplishments. As early as the fourteenth century, the women of New Mexico's Taos Pueblo lived equal lives of responsibility with men, even building most of the pueblo. Mary Chase Perry Stratton's Pewabic Pottery in Detroit, Michigan exemplifies women's contributions to the arts. Bryn Mawr College's M. Cary Thomas Library is tangible evidence of Thomas's drive to secure equal educational opportunities for women. The boardinghouse at Boot Cotton Mill in Lowell, Massachusetts provides a glimpse into the daily life of women in the industrial workforce. New York City's United Charities Building was- and still is- the headquarters of numerous reform organizations, many headed by women. In vivid sketches of eleven historic sites from across the country- in addition to numerous related location that act as supporting characters- Page Putnam Miller tells an engaging story of the accomplishments and the lasting influence of women on American history.

Here is a guide to finding and presenting places that bring new visibility to women's lives and illuminate their goals. Some of these sites, such as city hall, are not generally associated with women; some are sites of long-forgotten women's activities; others, such as kitchens, usually assumed to be women's domain, reflect unexpected complexities of meaning. Eleven essays explore possibilities for using women's history and feminist analysis to look at familiar places through the lens of gender. Case studies become guides for interpreting or reinterpreting similar places. The text also contains lists of suggested sources pertaining to the subjects presented. The sites analyzed here include homes, gardens, factories, cemeteries, business districts, and even entire communities. They are places to learn about women running millinery shops, surviving in a new country by working in another woman's kitchen, stripping tobacco leaves in a factory in the South, laboring for slave owners, commemorating achievement, and mourning the dead. This collection of essays is designed to be useful to teachers and historical societies searching their own communities for new sites significant to the his

"As editor Page Putnam Miller explains, "Historic structures can be a catalyst for studying and remembering the past." Reclaiming the Past integrates recent developments in women's history and historic preservation in order to illuminate the historic significance of many structures and sites associated with the lives of women in the United States. The homes of Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Zora Neale Hurston, Clara Barton, and Susan B. Anthony; Dumbarton Oaks, designed by landscape architect Beatrix Farrand; the Madame C. J. Walker Building in Indianapolis, home of the Walker Manufacturing Company; Wesleyan Chapel at Seneca Falls, New York, site of the 1848 Women's Rights Convention; the Shirtwaist Triangle Factory; Hull House: these represent only a sampling of the variety of landmarks and resources examined here." "In an introductory chapter, Page Putnam Miller outlines the urgent task of identifying and preserving these historic sites. The contributors then focus on seven arenas of activity: architecture, arts, community, education, politics, religion, and work. We discover that as activists, preservationists, designers, and architects, women have long been involved in historic preservation, as well as in the thoughtful design of domestic space - the home itself. As artists and writers, women often interpreted their household and immediate surroundings. Women have also left their mark on material culture through community activism, religious and educational activity, and work." "Less than 5 percent of national parks, national historic landmarks, and state historic sites commemorate women's life and activity in the United States. The use of historic structures to reconstruct and understand their accomplishments has garnered relatively little attention. This volume is an effort to stimulate the recovery and use of these resources - to grasp the spirit and the passions that animate women's history." "The contributors are Gail Lee Dubrow, Joan Hoff, Barbara J. Howe, Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, Barbara Melosh, Jean R. Soderlund, and Lynn Y. Weiner."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

A complete guide to interpreting women’s history. Women’s history is everywhere, not only in historic house museums named for women but also in homes named for famous men, museums of every conceivable kind, forts and battlefields, even ships, mines, and in buckets. Women’s history while present at every museum and historic site remains less fully interpreted in spite of decades of vibrant and expansive scholarship. Doing Women’s History in Public: A Handbook for Interpretation at Museums and Historic Sites connects that scholarship with the tangible resources and the sensuality that form museums and historic sites-- the objects, architecture and landscapes-- in ways that encourage visitor fascination and understanding and center interpretation on the women active in them. With numerous examples that focus on all women and girls, it appropriately includes everyone, for women intersect with every other human group. This book provides arguments, sources (written, oral, and visual), and tools for finding women’s history, preserving it, and interpreting it with the public. It uses the framework of Significance (importance), Knowledge Base (research in primary, secondary, and tertiary sources), and Tangible Resources (the preserved physical embodiment of history in objects, architecture, and landscapes). Discusses traditional and technology-assisted interpretation and provides Tools to implement Doing Women’s History in Public. Using a hospitality model, museums and historic sites are the locales where we assemble, learn from each other, and take our insights into a more gender-shared future.
