Mary Daly was a radical feminist, philosopher, theorist, and author. Mary Daly was born on Oct. 16, 1928 in Schenectady, New York. She was born a Roman Catholic, but later as her theology changed she described herself as “post-Christian”. Mary Daly earned her Ph.D. in religion from St. Mary’s College. Daly was also interested in pursuing higher learning in theology, she wanted to pursue a Doctorate in Sacred Theology, but at that time females were not permitted to study for the "highest degree" in this field. So, she earned her Ph.D. in philosophy and theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. (Hunt)

I am finally at the end of my journey and my graduate degree from Walden University is almost in my hand. Walden has asked me to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. When I was asked to do this, I was not sure what I would say. I spent some time thinking about my past year at Walden, and all of the things that I learned. I went from not knowing what to say when I was originally asked to having an abundance of things I could say about Walden. My future is bright thanks to Walden University. Walden University has set very high expectations for their students. I have grown personally as well as professionally, and my academic growth has given me the confidence and the needed skills to pursue leadership positions.

Colonel Mary Hallaren was born in 1907 in Massachusetts and enlisted in the military after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. She was considered a natural in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, but was questioned and doubted upon for her stature and gender. Someone once questioned her stature by asking what someone who was short as Mary was, could contribute to the military. Her response showed how she put any barriers to the side even when someone tried to make it seem like there was one. She answered back saying, “You don’t have to be six feet tall to have a brain that works”(p.142). The reason for why she enlisted in the Army was because her brothers had all enlisted after Pearl Harbor was attacked. She thought that women should also be able to serve their country even while the military was majorly dominated by males. This observation made her want to alter and change the way that the military was constructed. She wanted for females to also have equal access and equal rights to serve their country through the military just like men were doing so. This therefore opened up doors for new programs to be created that allowed for women to serve which were in some form or another possible due to Mary Hallaren and

Who is Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune? Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune is the founder of Bethune Cookman College. She was born and raised in Mayesville, South Carolina. Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune was a emancipated slave along with her parents and sixteen siblings. They did not live in better days that I do today. Living in the times of segregation, freedom for African Americans is not an option. Forced to believe that picking cotton would one make her free. Being a child of many, Dr Mary McLeod Bethune was the only one to attend school, and where she learned to read. She was given a scholarship to a all girls school called Scotia Seminary in North Carolina. She then attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois. Attending there she found her passion of

Attending my first Native American powwow was a very intriguing cultural experience to be apart of, and that I was grateful I was able to attend. This was an event that I would not have attended if it were not for this project and I ended up learning a lot about this culture that is around us. Every Native American tribe has their own version of this culture, however, all tribes gather in a powwow, a cultural event that strengthens the unity of the tribe. My informants name is Gary Watson, an elderly man, who has attended powwows for many years. He and his wife were participants in the powwow this year and were also there to watch their grandchildren participate for the first time. I

The month of February is dedicated to black history month and in this short essay I will be speaking about the first African-American women to ever join the United States Navy. These women went by the names of Frances Willis and Harriet Ida Pickens. These women who joined the Navy were inducted by a program that was created in the mid 40s called, “WAVES,” The program stood for, (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). The program was created for women to become nurses during World War II and the women served as nurses until the war ceased.

“The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.” One of the many quotes from Mary McLeod Bethune, an African-American woman who carried many titles in her lifetime: educator, politician, civil rights activist, etc., but whose main goal remained the same, empowering her community. Her boldness coupled with her fierce determination allowed her to push through the barriers caging women in, at that time, educating them on their voting rights and establishing a council dedicated to empowering negro women. However, if granted the opportunity to converse with her, my questions would not focus on her accomplishments; instead, I would ask what prompted her to stray from the norm of African-Americans at the time and fight

Mary Edwards Walker accomplished many things in the 86 years that she was alive. She faced many challenges, however was persistent enough to accomplish being the first and only woman to ever receive a Medal of Honor. Mary Walker was a women’s right activist, alleged spy, prisoner of war, abolitionist, and surgeon. Her hard work payed off, as she received the highest recognition for bravery in the ‘United States Armed Forces’.

America’s First Lady of Courage and Picturing History both presented individuals who faced many challenges. Helen Keller, the main focus of the first article, struggled with deafness as well as blindness, while Mathew Brady struggled financially. In the case of Helen Keller, the article stated that, “Helen’s parents knew they had to do something about her wild behavior. They hired Annie Sullivan to tutor her.” This was a critical moment in Helen’s life, as Annie helped Helen to learn how to more appropriately communicate with others as well as be able to spread the word that those who struggle with various disabilities could still manage to do great things.

I am honored to recommend Brittany Barnhardt for one of your teen columnist positions. Brittany is in my English III class this semester, so I know her as both a writer and a reader. Two of her many strengths include her ability to connect literature to real-life issues and to work hard on any given assignment. Both of these characteristics translate well into the world of journalism and will make Brittany an asset to your magazine.

Reading the passage “What is History” I gather that history is what might or might not have really happen. History is our past and there will always be history as long as there are people on the Earth. When Mary Beth Norton read the same document as Professor Bradford and written a whole different book, just shows that people have different views of the same reading. The question I would like to answer in US History, why did democracy became US form of government. The reason why I would like to know the answer to see why America didn’t stay with

Who is this woman among women, from a point in history where women should be remain silent? From Mary’s youth through- out adult-hood, what circumstances in her life, motivated her to develop a strong will and determination against all odds? Join me as I journey into the life of Mary Sidney Herbert to see how life experiences molded her into one the greatest writers and authors of British Literature in the late 1500- 1600s. Mary Sidney Herbert is “the daughter of Sir Henry Sidney and Mary Dudley. She was born at Tickenhall near Bewdley, Worcestershire, on the Welsh border, October 27th,1561.” She had three brothers: Phillip, Robert and Thomas and one younger sister Ambrosia, approximately fourteen years later,1575, Ambrosia dies. This would be traumatic experience for any young person. Mary and Ambrosia received “training in Latin French and Italian language and literature as well as more” feminine subjects such as needle work, playing the lute and singing whereas their brothers were sent to a university. Queen Elizabeth invites the Sidney’s to send Mary to the court with a promise of exceptional care “away from the unpleasant air of wales.”
