This young adult biography introduces middle school readers to a remarkable woman who founded the Women’s Army Corps, served as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, and ran a media empire that included the Houston Post newspaper and radio and TV stations.Winner, Gold Medal for Biography, Military Writers Society of America, 2015Oveta Culp Hobby (1905–1995) had a lifetime of stellar achievement. During World War II, she was asked to build a women’s army from scratch-and did. Hobby became Director of the Women’s Army Corps and the first Army woman to earn the rank of colonel. President Eisenhower chose her as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, making her the second woman in history to be appointed to a president’s cabinet. When she wasn’t serving in the government, Hobby worked with her husband, former Texas governor William P. Hobby, to lead a media empire that included the Houston Post newspaper and radio and TV stations. She also supported the Houston community in many ways, from advocating for civil rights for African Americans to donating generously to the Houston Symphony and the Museum of Fine Arts.Oveta Culp Hobby is the first biography of this important woman. Written for middle school readers, it traces her life from her childhood in Killeen to her remarkable achievements in Washington, DC, and Houston. Debra Winegarten provides the background to help young adult readers understand the times in which Hobby lived and the challenges she faced as a woman in nontraditional jobs. She shows how Hobby opened doors for women to serve in the military and in other professions that still benefit women today. Most of all, Oveta Culp Hobby will inspire young adults to follow their own dreams and turn them into tangible reality.

The Second Battle of the Alamo

The Second Battle of the Alamo

Judy Alter; Debra L. Winegarten

TwoDot Books

sidottu
By 1900, the tale of the 300 Texians who died in the 1836 battle of the Alamo had already become legend. But to corporate interests in the growing City of San Antonio, the land where that blood was shed was merely a desirable plot of land across the street from new restaurants and hotels, with only a few remaining crumbling buildings to tell the tale. When two women, Adina Emilia De Zavala, the granddaughter of the first vice-president of the Texas Republic, and Clara Driscoll, the daughter of one of Texas’s most prominent ranch families and first bankers, learned of the plans, they hatched a plan to preserve the site—and in so doing, they reinvigorated both the legend and lore of the Alamo and cemented the site’s status as hallowed ground. But the story of the battle the two women started with each other reverberates to this day. These two strong-willed, pioneering women were very different, but the story of how they banded together and how the Alamo became what it is today despite those differences, is compelling reading for those interested in Texas history and Texas’s larger-than-life personality.

The Impact of Women in Congress

The Impact of Women in Congress

Debra L. Dodson

Oxford University Press
2006
nidottu
This is a major new assessment of the impact of women members of the US Congress on public policy and Congress itself. Drawing on three key case studies (reproductive health, women's health, and health policy) from the 103rd and 104th Congresses, Dodson highlights the complex forces that shape what women members do and their influence on the institution.

The Impact of Women in Congress

Debra L. Dodson

Oxford University Press
2006
sidottu
While existing literature provides compelling evidence that women in public office make a difference, the relationship between descriptive and substantive representation of women in political institutions long the domain of men is neither simple nor certain. Embracing New Institutionalists' warnings of the dangers of studying behaviour in an institutional vacuum, this book uses two strikingly different yet consecutive congresses - the Democratically controlled 103rd Congress elected during the 'Year of the Woman' and the Republican-controlled 104th Congress elected during the 'Year of the Angry White Male' - as laboratories to explore the complexity of the relationship between women's presence and impact. In-depth interviews with hundreds of staff, lobbyists, and women members of Congress, along with other quantitative and archival data, are the foundation for case studies of three highly visible policy areas (reproductive rights, women's health, and health care policy) important to women, but with strikingly different outcomes across the two Congresses. The inquiry is quickly moved beyond the simple question 'Do women make a difference?' Dodson confronts the contested issues surrounding difference which often lurk beneath the surface - the probabilistic rather than deterministic relationship between descriptive and substantive representation of women, the contested legitimacy of women representing women, and the disagreement about what it means to represent women. The analysis moves the literature toward a better integrated understanding of how gendered forces at the individual, institutional, and societal levels combine to reinforce and redefine gendered relationships to power in the public sphere. The results can be generalized over time and across settings, are meaningful even in periods when the answer to the question of whether women make a difference seems to be more frequently 'no' than 'yes,' and point to strategies that may bolster the impact of women's presence for substantive representation of women.

Yorùbá Bàtá Goes Global

Yorùbá Bàtá Goes Global

Debra L. Klein

University of Chicago Press
2007
sidottu
Responding to growing international interest in Yoruba culture, practitioners of bata performance - a centuries-old drumming, dancing, and singing tradition from southwestern Nigeria - have presented themselves to the world as an emblem of traditional Nigeria. Locally, however, the market for bata has been declining as it plays less of a ritual role and opportunities for performance have dwindled. Debra L. Klein's lively ethnography explores this disjunction, in the process revealing the world of the bata artists and the global culture market that helps to sustain their art. "Yoruba Bata Goes Global" describes the dramatic changes and reinventions of traditional bata performance in recent years, showing how they are continually recreated, performed, and sold. Klein delves into the lives of Yoruba musicians, focusing on their strategic collaborations with artists, culture brokers, researchers, and entrepreneurs worldwide, and she explores how reinvigorated performing ensembles are beginning to parlay success on the world stage into increased power and status within Nigeria. Klein's study of the interwoven roles of innovation and tradition will interest scholars of anthropology; African, global, and cultural studies; and ethnomusicology alike.

U.S. Immigration Policy in an Age of Rights

U.S. Immigration Policy in an Age of Rights

Debra L. DeLaet

Praeger Publishers Inc
2000
sidottu
Civil rights rhetoric has been central to the debate over U.S. immigration policy since at least the 1960s. A coalition of interest groups, including churches, ethnic organizations, civil rights groups, and employer associations has played a fundamental role in advancing civil rights norms in the immigration arena. The growing importance of civil rights rhetoric in the debate over U.S. immigration policy, DeLaet asserts, helps to explain the liberalization of U.S. immigration policy in spite of growing evidence that the public opposition to immigration has grown during the same period. In turn, the liberalization of U.S. immigration policy has contributed to rising numbers of both legal and illegal immigrants. Thus, high levels of immigration reflect the basic provisions of current U.S. immigration policy, rather than a loss of governmental control.Many analysts have suggested that the immigration policy reforms passed by Congress in 1996 marked the beginning of a new era of restrictionism. However, as DeLaet illustrates, the new restrictions adopted in 1996 contain many of the same loopholes as previous legislation, indicating the coalition of interest groups supporting immigration still pose a significant obstacle to efforts to restrict immigration.

Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300)

Debra L. Martin; Claira Ralston

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This volume uses osteobiography and individual-level analyses of burials retrieved from the La Plata River Valley (New Mexico) to illustrate the variety of roles that Ancestral Pueblo women played in the past (circa AD 1100–1300). The experiences of women as a result of their gender, age, and status over the life course are reconstructed, with consideration given to the gendered forms of violence they were subject to and the consequences of social violence on health. The authors demonstrate the utility of a modern bioarchaeological approach that combines social theories about gender and violence with burial data in conjunction with information from many other sources—including archaeological reconstruction of homes and communities, ethnohistoric resources available on Pueblo society, and Pueblo women’s contemporary voices. This analysis presents a more accurate, nuanced, and complex picture of life in the past for mothers, sisters, wives, and, captives.

Vicissitudes: The Ups and Downs and Changes Experienced in a Lifetime

Vicissitudes: The Ups and Downs and Changes Experienced in a Lifetime

Debra L. Ice

Braydie Codell Publishing
2011
nidottu
In the early 1990s, a forty-something Cassie Hunter Thomas reluctantly finds herself with a new title: Empty-Nester Downsizing Statistic. Along with the loss of her full-time roles of Mother and Employee, Cassie mourns the loss of important parts of her identity and is nearly overwhelmed by an abundance of free time. Cassie needs a project. While filling albums with old family photos, the reconstruction of her life in pictures evokes memories and emotions that take Cassie on a cathartic journey through a spectrum of events that span from heartrending to heartwarming. Loss of loved ones. Feelings of displacement. Developing lifelong friendships. Anxiety during turbulent times of national and global conflicts. Falling in love and building a relationship. Watching her children become adults. Alternate periods of employment and unemployment. Financial loss and starting over. Indecision and decision. As Cassie laughs and cries her way to a profound gratitude for the blessing of emotional strength, she sees her life from a new perspective. Cassie starts a journal. While logging her memories, it becomes clear that many initially perceived negative circumstances ultimately proved to be stepping-stones that led to positive experiences. When previously faced with fear and uncertainty, and with inexperience and adversity, an almost unbelievable spiritual strength had always carried her ahead-and ingenuity, stamina, and perseverance helped her to endure and emerge feeling somewhat stronger, wiser, and satisfied. Believing that everything happens for a reason gives Cassie a sense of cleansing, a sense of healing, and a surprising sense of peace. She decides she's exactly where she's supposed to be. Cassie starts a manuscript. Nearly twenty years after the inception of Vicissitudes, Cassie sees several events of the twenty-first century unfolding in ways that eerily parallel those of the past. With a distinct feeling of 1950-1990's d j vu settling in, Cassie decides to finally put her story of timeless issues and emotions between the covers of a book. She hopes her story will ease the fears of those who walk in her footsteps and convince them that they, too, can endure and emerge stronger for having experienced life's obstacles. In 2011, a sixty-something Cassie happily finds herself with a new title: Self-Published Author.
