Mary Walker's Achievements

Madame C. J. Walker worked in the cotton fields in south. Eventually she was promoted from there to the washtub. Soon after that she was promoted to kitchen, and from there she promoted herself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and beauty preparations. In her own words Madam C. J. Walker believed she promoted herself into the Negro Business League’s 1912 convention and got her life together by this time. 5 years later she became owner of the largest black –owned company in the United States.

There is another woman you forgot to mention a courageous woman, Loreta Janeta Velazquez. Loreta was a Cuban born female that enlisted in the Confederate Army under the name of Harry T. Buford after she failed to convince her husband to let her enlist. During Loreta’s military profession, she gained the rank of Second Lieutenant, enlisted 236 men, fought at the Battle of Bull Run, at the siege of Fort Donelson and at the Battle of Shiloh. Moreover, after the Battle of Shiloh, Loreta became a Confederate spy, disguising herself as male and female as to the mission

Mary Fields, also known as “Stagecoach,” Mary’s birth was not in exact detail. She was born into slavery in the year of 1832 in Hickman, Tennessee. Mary did not know who her parents were so she was thought to be an orphan because of the mystery of her parents’ whereabouts due to the trading system for slavery. Mary, on the other hand, did receive an education but not from a school. She received her education with her local judge’s daughter who was the same age as Mary so they learned together until the judge's daughter went to Ohio for higher education.

Madame C.J. Walker was born on December 23, 1867 in Delta, Louisiana and was named Sarah Bredlove. Her parents were Owen and Mernirva Bredlove. She was the youngest of six kids and was the first one born into freedom, after the Emancipation Proclamation. Her parents and siblings were all slaves owned by Robert W. Burney at the Madison Parish plantation. Her mother died in 1878 of cholera which is bacterial disease.

When she turned twenty her husband died, but they had a daughter named Leila McWilliams.

The legacy Rebecca Lee Crumpler has left shows that shes accomplished not one, but two ground breaking achievements. She is remembered as someone who has fought against racism, prejudice, and other difficult obstacles to obtain a medical degree. She also became a published author, which was almost unheard of for African-Americans at the time let alone african american women. She willbe remembered for her achievements, courage, and as a pioneer for those that would follow in her footsteps in future generations.

Mary Whiton Calkins had a hard time getting her graduate school education because at the time women were not accepted into nearby graduate institutions. She studied at Harvard unofficially under William James, for more than 10 years, and she refused to accept a PhD from Radcliffe. Instead she decided to take an unofficial PhD examination at Harvard. It was William James who directed her dissertation and was her mentor. Calkins published over a hundred papers in psychology and published four books on psychology as well. For her contributions, she was granted honorary degrees from Columbia and Smith. One of her most influential accomplishments was inventing the paired-associate technique that is still widely used today. She was also able to

Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune has paved the way for african-american adolescents, like myself, to live a life of greater quality. Being born of slaves, no one imagined that her values would manifest into a prestigious Historically Black College/University. From toiling in fields with her family, to becoming the president of an accredited college was a huge accomplishment for blacks at the time. Mary Bethune’s prosperity didn’t conclude with the commencement of her own distinguished university, but she became a national leader. The National Association of Colored Women became popularized for advocating the enhancement of colored women in society. In this organization, Bethune served as Florida chapter president from 1917 to 1925. Her duties included:

“I got my start by giving myself a start.” This notorious quote was stated by women who goes by the name of Madam C.J Walker. Originally went by the name Sarah Breedlove, Walker was born in Delta, Louisiana on December 23, 1867. She was born at a time where women possess little to no economic opportunities. A typical women were known for their work in homes rather and relied on men for money.

In the beginning, Mary Rowlandson said: "I had often before this said, that if the Indians should come, I should chuse rather to be killed by them than taken alive but when it came to the trail my mind changed ...” (Rowland Line 13) Mary Rowlandson was a strong-minded woman who would be willing to put up a fight to defend her own family. However, Rowlandson's life changed when she lost the war with the Indians. Her captivity journey with the Indians taught her how to survived and rely on her Lord very much. We see this in her everyday dairy; such as the days her food would be stolen, freezing every night, witnessing death before her, and losing loved ones in her arms. Yet, Rowlandson used her skills and her obedience to her Lord to make peace

The United States Congress and its Government were designed to keep America and it’s citizens alive and satisfied. Created by men, and only men, it upheld what our founding fathers wished for our country. Congress, until around 1914, consisted of men and their opinions for the country. One would know that men have been there since day one and are still there today. But one would not commonly know is how and when a woman decided to make a change in the times and stand up for her beliefs. She was the very first woman in Congress, and stood against foreign war involvement. She held her head high against popular opinion and openly expressed the importance of women 's suffrage to the minds of those around her. This remarkable and outstanding

“The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by man’s attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can woman (Darwin).” Darwin’s philosophy of the intellect of women greatly represented the opinion of the days when psychology was in its developing stages. However, many women went to great lengths to exile this thought. One extraordinary woman who did just that was Mary Whiton Calkins. Because of the many obstacles that she overcame throughout her education and career, her accomplishments and breakthroughs gave hope to all women struggling for equality.

I want to let other people see the acts of bravery that these women did. What astonishes me the most and that even a cannon ball flying right under that women's leg didn't even stop her. When I write my research paper it's going to be filled with the different adventures that these women went through. Starting out in my research paper I will provide some in depth background information on these two courageous and brave women. I will talk about how they felt towards the war, how they felt with the Sturges and stress of helping and assisting during the War.
