1. Encyclop�dia Britannica's Guide To Women's History For millennia, women have left their mark on the world, at times changing the course of history and at other times influencing small but significant spheres of life. http://www.britannica.com/women/articles/Harper_Frances_Ellen_Watkins.html

Home Where They Lived What They Did When They Lived ... Back To Britannica Some, though they lived centuries ago, are still alive in popular culture; music and poetry by the Roman Catholic abbess Hildegard can be heard in contemporary recordings, and Murasaki Shikibu 's The Tale of Genji is one of the greatest works of Japanese literature. Many women overcame the oppression of their surroundings through determination and ingenuity: Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and risked her life helping others to freedom. Other women grew up in privileged surroundings; the philosopher and mathematician Hypatia and the historian Ban Zhao were born to families that permitted the education of girls in an era when females were rarely even taught to read. Not all of these women changed the world for the good. Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl produced propaganda films that glorified Adolf Hitler's brutal Third Reich.

I think there is an amount of dor­mant tal­ent among us, and a large field from which to gath­er ma­te­ri­als for such a book.” “I would do it, will­ing­ly, if I could; but one needs both leisure and mon­ey to make a suc­cess­ful book. There is ma­te­ri­al among us for the broad­est come­dies and the deep­est tragedies, but, be­sides mon­ey and leisure, it needs pa­tience, per­se­ver­ance, courage, and the hand of an artist to weave it in­to the lit­er­ature of the coun­try.” “Miss Leroy, you have a large and rich ex­pe­ri­ence; you pos­sess a vivid imag­ina­tion and glow­ing fan­cy. Write, out of the full­ness of your heart, a book to in­spire men and wom­en with a deep­er sense of jus­tice and hu­man­ity.” “Doc­tor,” replied Io­la, “I would do it if I could, not for the mon­ey it might bring, but for the good it might do.

Our masters always tried to hide Book learning from our eyes; Knowledge did'nt agree with slavery 'Twould make us all too wise. But some of us would try to steal A little from the book, And put the words together, And learn by hook or crook. I remember Uncle Caldwell, Who took pot liquor fat And greased the pages of his book, And hid it in his hat. And had his master ever seen The leaves upon his head, He'd have thought them greasy papers, But nothing to be read. And there was Mr. Turner's Ben, Who heard the children spell, And picked the words right up by heart, And learned to read 'em well. Well, the Northern folks kept sending The Yankee teachers down; And they stood right up and helped us, Though Rebs did sneer and frown.

Acceptance Essays Arts Custom Papers English ... Acceptable Use Policy Frances Ellen Watkins Harper Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a gifted poet, author, and lecturer. Her humble beginnings had a profound affect on her thirst for knowledge and justice for the Negro slave. As life and its many challenges unfolded for Harper during the 1800’s, she embraced those obstacles with grace and dignity as she endured the struggles of the abolitionist movement.

According to Hill, Harper was born on September 24, 1824 in Baltimore, Maryland. She was the daughter of free slaves and was orphaned at the age of three. Fortunately, Harper was placed in the loving care of her uncle, William Watkins, who deeply influenced her life. William Watkins was a “self educated minister, a shoemaker by trade, and a staunch abolitionist, who taught her the classics, the Bible, rhetoric, and antislavery writings” (Hill, 345). He also had a major influence on Harper’s political, religious, and social views (Sara A. Therkelsen and Chanomi Maxwell-Parish, voices.cla.umn.edu/authors/francesellenwatikinsharper.html).
