The name given was Marie-Josephe Angelique.  In 1734, she was charged with arson after setting fire to her owners home.  Maria was tortured and hanged after being convicted after committing the cruel attack. She was only 29 when she died.]]> 2023-02-27 21:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2497073553 emily_babio https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2558881042 Maryland was mainly full of farming and shipbuilding. Stated by Thomas Kidd in his The Founding of Maryland writing, he states, “Maryland's economy was based on subsistence farming and shipbuilding industry.” With this history in mind, the inspiring mother daughter story of Dennis and Hannah Holland is in this setting, with incredible outcomes. Dennis reached the Maryland colony in the earlier 1670s. She arrived in Maryland as an indentured servant. An indentured servant is defined as “a person who signs and is bound by indentures to work for another for a specific time, in return for payment, maintenance, and travel expenses.” by the Merriham-Webster dictionary. Dennis signed for this role as a passage through the colonies. Dennis was put into the hands of Henry SMith on January 3rd, 1673. This is when he began to push Dennis to perform acts, passed what she signed up for; which wasn't very uncommon amongst this time period for men to pressure women. Soon after this forceful intercourse, Dennis started to realize that she was pregnant, and took Henry to Court. According to an article written by the NYHistory Women website, we learn that Dennis appeared in court a year after she was sent to work, and appeared for the charge of bastardy, and gave a testimony that cleared Henry  of “any responsibility for the child.” (NYHISTORY.org) The outcome resulted in Henry receiving no recorded punishment, expectations for Dennis to finish her contract with her original employer, and Dennis being unable to support her baby. The baby, Hannah, was given to a very wealthy merchant, John, Kirke, till the age of 16. At that time, there was no more record of Dennis. However, Hannah was just about to make a difference. At 16 years old, Hannah petitions the court because John Kirke, her first master, had sold her. John sold Hannah to another man, who rejected the end date of Hannahs indenture, which was court ordered. Overall, the court reviewed the records and set Hannah free, breaking the “normal” acts of servitude that started with her mother. Within the next two years, Hannah was back in court with the same charge her mother had made. The Holland generation continued in indentured servitude, even with the differences made by these empowered women.

Katherine Harrison had a horrifying, different experience with being a “witch.” Known as the liar of the trials, Katherine had unusual trials. In the second paragraph of her reading in The Devil In The Shape Of A Women, it states that, “Harrison was supposed to remain in jail but for some reason she was released in the summer or early fall and returned home to Wethersfield. Shortly after 38 weatherfield the town then filed a petition,” Her actual age and true family background is unknown as well. Comparing this to modern times, girls who like to remain “mysterious” are often found to be the ones who are said to be the outcasts. Or the weirdos, as society would put it. The ones who believe in crystals, and manifestation. Connecting this with Katherine who actually was mysterious.

The main ideas stated in this piece is all about the differences with cooking methods of rice in West Africa and the Carolinas. I learned about a less common method used to grow rice is used in West Africa, where women would wrap seeds in cow dung or mud to keep them safe against other animals. ]]> 2023-04-19 21:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2560721432 emily_babio https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2560723149 The main idea of this piece is about the rules that went into interracial marriage, and what would happen if there were children involved, if the man was white and the woman was white and vice versa, and how different states had different laws about this subject. The role that women had in this time was minimal, and honestly non-existent. The men were the lawmakers, the ones who called the shots, even if there was a mother there to make decisions as well. This is one of the many periods of history were women were overlooked, even when it involved her own children.

I researched different stands women in the 1800s-1920s took in order to signify the change in gender stereotypes. Women's Suffrage was a huge turning point of this time period, and started a legacy of influential women to voice their opinion.

This made it interesting to walk around because it not only drew attention to each board i its own unique way, but I also felt like I learned a good amount of new information that I wouldn't have learned if we just read a chapter in a textbook. This project influenced the class of young women to dive deep into their passions, regardless of the gender stereotypes or restriction given at this time. ]]> 2023-04-27 19:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2570843862 emily_babio https://padlet.com/emily_babio/7i37savn0wom5dvs/wish/2610742418 Men were off at war leaving their jobs behind. The women took over these jobs and filled in the men's roles, even after being told they didn't belong there. This impact these women had on changing gender norms broadened everyone's ideas on gender roles in the workforce. Millions of women took factory jobs during wwll as well as many women going into war themselves, which would've never been able to happen if it weren't for their roles in the flapper era and the kind of jobs they received
