Female prostitutes and exclusion from society : prostitutes during the classical period in Athens and the late republic/early empire in Pompeii, 2014
Item — Call number MU Thesis Tur
Identifier: b7636387
Abstract
This paper will examine the role of non-slave female prostitutes within both societies in ancient Classical Athens from 500 BC to 400 BC and the Late Republic/Roman Empire in Pompeii from 100 BC to 100 AD. To determine how much prostitutes were included or excluded from society, these areas were analyzed: religion, politics, and economics. To the extent that prostitutes are included/excluded is determined by their ability to not get pregnant - and here I determine that relatively...

Item — Call number MU Thesis Pel
Identifier: b2089937
Introduction [excerpt]
New Jersey was the first state to allow women to vote, and it was not by accident. Following the ratification of the first constitution, the legislature passed acts to allow certain women to vote as long as they met the requirements. In 1807, the vote was taken away from women.... When the vote was taken away, New Jersey women attempted to vote and held meetings prior to what is believed to be the first suffrage conference at Seneca Falls. New Jersey was home to the first suffrage...

Onward, Christian soldier : the religious mind of the American World War II soldier, 2007
Item — Call number MU Thesis Pel
Identifier: b2089958
Introduction [excerpts]
The fundamental goal of this study is to understand how soldiers viewed organized religion, as well as theism in general, amidst the horrors of the Second World War. Although it is exceedingly difficult to enter into the spiritual minds of men, particularly minds from sixty-five years ago, the historical record left ample evidence from which historians may reach a more lucid understanding of this subject. Despite my presuppositions concerning soldiers' religous faiths during the inchoate...

Significant others : the fictive kin of Eleanor Roosevelt, 2013
Item — Call number MU Thesis Mal
Identifier: b7636381
Abstract
Biographies of Eleanor & Franklin Roosevelt note that by the time FDR took office in 1932, the Roosevelt marriage was more of a political partnership than an intimate personal relationship. They married for love in 1905 and had six children but, as a keenly intelligent woman, Eleanor Roosevelt struggled against the confines of her role as a society matron. In addition, her mother-in-law was a forceful and influential presence in her son's life and FDR proved unwilling to support his...

"Skirted soldiers" get the message through : an analysis of the gender integration of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, World War II, 2006
Item — Call number MU Thesis Zio
Identifier: b2087630
Abstract
While the Signal Corps's receptiveness towards using women facilitated gender integration in that service during WWII, the integration process was not flawless. Women encountered what a modern audience would identify as sexual discrimination and harassment, and consequently developed coping mechanisms that allowed them to flourish in a nontraditional work environment. This paper explores the gender integration of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, discusses the integration's implications and...
