Happy #SimmonsSuffrageSunday! Meet Zilpha Drew Smith, a suffragist and a pivotal figure in creating the profession of Social Work in early 20th c. Boston. We will be filling out her bio on Wikipedia tomorrow, at the Votes for ALL Women editathon. Join us if you can!
This week, rather than a new thread, we're gearing up to fill out the #Wikipedia bio of Simmons #Suffragist Zilpha Drew Smith, during the Editathon co-hosted by @SimmonsLibrary this Monday, 3/29. Wanna join us? All are welcome! #WomensHistoryMonth

A year ago today, #simmonsuniversity closed campus in response to the pandemic. Homebound @Laura_R_Prieto dove into the digitized college yearbooks searching for context & found Blanche Castleman, class of 1919. This #SimmonsSuffrageSunday, a COVID anniversary #womenshistory 🧵:
Meet Blanche Castleman '19. @SimmonsUniv closed twice while she was a student there: for a #polio epidemic and #1918Flu. Her scrapbook has become my Saturday morning #CovidCampus rabbit hole. Who wants to join me for a #histmed #womenshistory thread? 1/?
The latest #SimmonsSuffrageSunday is up on @SimmonsSuffrage! As #BlackHistoryMonth transitions into #WomensHistoryMonth, activists like Dorothy Boulding Ferebee are part of both. With an added dose of #publichealth history for good measure.
Civil rights activist Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee (Simmons class of 1920) is best known for directing the Mississippi Health Project (1935-1942). One of the most successful volunteer public health initiatives ever, it addressed severe racial inequalities in medical care. 🧵

Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee (class of 1920) was a lifelong activist for racial justice, civil rights, and public health, from her undergrad years at Simmons to her participation in voter registration drives in the 1960s.

In honor of #ValentinesDay, we hope you enjoy this postcard from 1908, sent to Simmons suffragist Ethel McLean Johnson by an admirer named Beatrice. Thanks to @foglerlibrary at #UMaine for digitizing her delightful greeting cards! https://t.co/Nou1shtAro #SimmonsSuffrageSunday
Welcome, new followers! We are thrilled that you found us. We tweet about #votingrights activists from @SimmonsUniv history, drawing from our digital exhibit, https://t.co/TPbnSS7vv7. Check out our #SimmonsSuffrageSunday story threads and please spread the word! #womenshistory
More on its way about women in politics, labor, and reform in the 1920s, in part II of our Ethel M. Johnson sketch! #SimmonsSuffrageSunday
But Ethel Johnson did not just help win women’s right to #vote; she built a political career of her own! Stay tuned for Part II tracing her rise in politics, “not by running for office but by working within political parties” as historian Sarah Deutsch explains.
To be ctd...

Meet suffragist & Progressive reformer ETHEL M. JOHNSON! She not only championed working women, she *was* a working woman, paying her own way thru college. +For her, political equality meant not just voting but having political authority & leadership. #SimmonsSuffrageSunday 🧵

BTW: Tomorrow’s #SimmonsSuffrageSunday🧵 is going to feature Ethel Johnson, who worked for the WEIU as a Simmons student & alum. So many connections!
@pgreenberger @Wellesley Thank you! It is really an excellent thesis; we learned a lot from it about Simmons and about the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union. It gave us important context and insights into both institutions, whose histories were intertwined.
Today's #SimmonsSuffrageSunday follows the trail of journalist, memoirist, and translator Helen Davenport Brown Gibbons, from a privileged childhood in Philadelphia, to witnessing mass violence against Armenians in Turkey & war relief work in WWI France. A full #suffragist life.
You may not expect the wife of a Protestant missionary and mother of four, a young woman who studied Household Economics at #SimmonsUniversity, to be a suffragist. But we’d like you to meet Helen Davenport Brown Gibbons.

In light of the violent attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, we're pausing our usual #SimmonsSuffrageSunday series, to reflect instead on the place of the Capitol & Washington D.C. in the *peaceful* attainment of #votesforwomen. #protestnotriot

As she approached her own 100th bday, #SimmonsUniversity alum Ruth Belcher Dyk reflected on the #19thAmendment. She'd marched for women’s suffrage as a teenager & remained politically active thru her life. Yet "not enough has been achieved,” she felt.

Happy New Year and thank you to everyone who has been following our new stories of suffragists in #simmonsuniversity history! Just as #votesforwomen activism continued after 1920, we will keep marking the #Suffrage Centennial in 2021! #19that100 #SimmonsSuffrageSunday
We're taking a little holiday break so rather than a new 🧵today, we hope you'll enjoy a recap of our very first suffragist sketch: the intriguing student activist, Gertrude Barish, #SimmonsUniversity class of 1919! #SimmonsSuffrageSunday
Leading off our #suffrage parade is GERTRUDE BARISH! She reportedly left her Russian homeland in order to escape political persecution during WWI. Barish’s fiery personality & determined spirit jumped off the page for us. She also posed some real Mystery. #SimmonsSuffs

#SimmonsUniversity was well represented in Boston’s two enormous #Suffrage Parades in 1914 & 1915. We'd like you to meet one of those marchers: the young, vivacious transfer student GLADYS CORTHELL, who wrote vivid letters home about her activism.

The latest #SimmonsSuffrageSunday thread is up! Illuminating a little #HistSci with our #womenshistory. Meet the unquenchable Frances Wick, who conducted research at Vienna's Institute for Radium Research but sometimes had to make do with experiments in a dark stairwell instead.
#SimmonsSuffrageSunday continues today with #suffragist and physicist FRANCES GERTRUDE WICK. Get ready for some luminescent images and graphs & charts while we’re at it! (Not just in homage to science but because Wick apparently didn’t like being photographed.) #womeninSTEM

Though her time at #simmonsuniversity was brief, we are proud to claim Frances Wick as one of our #SimmonsSuffs. We hope you'll explore our digital exhibit, https://t.co/TPbnSS7vv7, and join us again on the next #SimmonsSuffrageSunday!

Sneak peek: on tomorrow's #SimmonsSuffrageSunday, we'll be writing about a pro-suffrage lady scientist who just may have traveled around with radioactive material in her luggage. #womeninSTEM fans, stay tuned!
(And many more #SimmonsSuffs to discover at https://t.co/TPbnSS7vv7)
I didn't know #SimmonsUniversity had a connection to women in early Hollywood until we researched and wrote the script for this #SimmonsSuffrageSunday thread!
Get your popcorn ready and come meet another #suffragist from our new digital exhibit @SimmonsUniv: HETTIE GRAY BAKER, who left her librarian career in the 1910s to become a pioneering film editor and writer.
