But women were members of voting organizations, just like Northern women, writes Scott -- even if they attended in white gloves.
While Scott's work is valuable in that it chronicles the lives of many influential Southern women, whose voices would otherwise be lost to history, certain aspects of her thesis seem contradictory. She is eager to stress Sothern women's strength, but some of the diaries she quotes chronicle the voices of girls constantly felt pressured repress their opinions to maintain marital bliss. In her conclusion, she speaks of Harriet Simmons, whom she saw as an example of how women of high social standing could "get away with being radical" (Scott 239). But the fact that women were forced to 'get away' with being radicals, rather than openly espousing such an ideal is telling of the oppression still felt by many Sothern women.
While it is true that the reality of women's lives was not the one of softness and "spirituality" of the myth, the fact that...
In one of the diary entries she includes, a young woman says that she would like to die, because she had not found a husband (Scott 7). Moreover, the idea of the 'steel Magnolia' or Scarlett O'Hara wrestling to save Tara, just as Scott's real southern women fought pestilence and managed livestock is not so new (Scott 29). Scott admits that Southern suffragettes tended to condemn the actions of Alice Paul and the more notable Northern radicals in their desire to seem ladylike. While Scott's desire to honor Southern women's contribution to suffrage and progressive causes is commendable, and there were notable exceptions to the ideal of the genteel Southern lady, like the abolitionist Grimke sisters, these examples emerge more as exceptions to an ideological system that had clear and demonstrable effects upon the psyches of women, an effect demonstrated in the primary sources Scott has assembled…
Its proximity to Chicago as well as Milwaukee makes it convenient for southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois travelers. Noise Abatement Program: The O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) is composed of a number of regional communities and school districts (too many to mention in this research). According to the ONCC 2009 Annual Report noise complaints were "six times higher in 2009 compared to 2008" (www.oharenoise.org). There is an Airport Noise Management
" (Sinha and Batra, 1999) Sinha and Batra state that "most researchers now content that a generalized price -- quality relationship does not exist" although the "degree to which a higher price implies higher quality" has been examined and as well has been the "topic of considerable research in marketing." (1999) Therefore for the purpose of this study this antecedent relating to price consciousness will not be a variable in understanding
High-road competition focuses on service quality (Working for America Institute 2004), which means developing property in prime locations and the regular upkeep and upgrade of property. Hotels using high-road competition charge high room rates but provide top-class amenities, satisfying customer service and on-site attractions, such as restaurants, lounges, conference sites, gift shops and concierge service to attract customers and incline them to spend. Upper segments are likelier to engage in
As Geisel (2004) notes: Income-tax deductions are worth the most to high-bracket taxpayers, who need little incentive to save, whereas the lowest-paid third of workers, whose tax burden consists primarily of the Social Security payroll tax (and who have no income-tax liability), receive no subsidy at all. Federal tax subsidies for retirement saving exceed $120 billion a year, but two thirds of that money benefits the most affluent 20% of
His lectures were a success as many eminent people of Edinburgh attended them and earned him a decent income. During the course of his lectures on English literature, Smith perhaps realized that his real vocation was economics. Hence, addition to English literature, he started to deliver lectures in economics in 1750-51 in which he advocated the doctrines of commercial liberty, based largely on the ideas of Hutcheson. It was also
