Title A name given to the resource Women's Rights Description An account of the resource The women's rights collection showcases women who dared to fight for rights, civil or otherwise. Throughout world history, women have frequently been excluded from full citizenship; these women sought to make their society more equitable by fighting for civil, political, economic, legal, or social rights. The women in this collection remind us that often the fight for women's rights is a fight for civil rights. They inspire us to make a positive difference towards the goal of social equality. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1797 Birthplace Swartekill, New York, USA Death Date 1883 Occupation Abolitionist, women's rights activist Biographical Text Truth was born Isabella Baumfree, but changed her name in 1843. She was an African-American abolitionist and women’s rights activist. Sojourner escaped from slavery in 1826 with an infant child in tow. She also fought the illegal sale of her son through the court system. In 1851, she gave her famous speech, “Ain’t I A Woman?” at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention. From her speech: “If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it. The men better let them.” Her speeches spoke to the inequitable status of women in American society, but also to the disadvantaged status of black women within woman's sphere.

Title A name given to the resource Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences Description An account of the resource The broad collection of "Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences" highlights those women who dared in the areas of the arts (visual and performing), the humanities (philosophy, law, history, literature, religion, languages, communication), and the social sciences ( anthropology, archaeology, sociology, economics, psychology, political science). It also includes female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Each of the fields represented started off as a male-dominated field. Although women have integrated all of these areas, they are still not representative in many such as religion, political science, law, economics, psychology, archaeology, history, and so on. This collection hopes to expand the readers' knowledge of women in these subjects and encourage their further study by women. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1811 Birthplace Litchfield, Connecticut, USA Death Date 1896 Occupation Author Biographical Text Harriet Beecher Stowe was an author and noted abolitionist. One of her most influential works, Uncle Tom's Cabin, greatly increased knowledge of the horrors of slavery. The book went on to be the most popular novel of the 19th century. In all, she wrote over 20 books. After the end of slavery in the United States, Stowe campaigned for married women's rights arguing that married women should have ownership of their property (women's property became that of their husbands) and be able to engage in contracts. She noted the inherent unfairness that under the law a married woman had no legal existence.
