Daughters of the Great

Daughters of the Great

To prove that my binge of Netflix’s The Last Kingdom was solely academic, for today’s episode of Works Not Cited, I’m discussing the lives of Alfred the Great’s daughters; Aethelflaed, Aethelgifu, and Aelfthryth. Though hard to find in the historical record, each of them ascended to a position of authority- they were the sole Lady of the Mercians, Abbess of Shaftesbury, and Countess of Flanders, respectively- and took part in late 9th and early 10th century nation building.

Memories of Rosewood: Reflections on a Displaced Community

Memories of Rosewood: Reflections on a Displaced Community

January 1st marked 98 years since the Rosewood Massacre, a week long pogrom against an African American community in Florida. For today’s episode of Works Not Cited, I’m sharing survivor testimony, exploring racial violence in the United States and discussing the community at Rosewood, paying homage to the six people killed and the countless survivors who were displaced and left traumatized. Take a listen on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple Podcast, and please check out the episode notes for some of the organizations who are working to preserve the history of Rosewood!

“The House Beautiful”- History And Design at the New Amsterdam Theatre

“The House Beautiful”- History And Design at the New Amsterdam Theatre

Since my love for Disney requires that I do at least one tangentially Disney related episode a season, for today’s Works Not Cited: Open House, I’ll be taking you through the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City! Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company and often the space where Disney on Broadway shows premiere, it has a fascinating history as one of the first Art Nouveau buildings in New York, the site of the dramatic 1908 ‘Battle of the Hats’, and the home base for the Ziegfeld Follies between 1913 and 1926!

“Deadlier than the Sword”- the Hatpin and the New Woman

“Deadlier than the Sword”- the Hatpin and the New Woman

This week, I’m doing a material culture deep dive into the hatpin and its role in the women’s rights movement during the Progressive Era in the United States! For women, it was an accessory to their fight to safely occupy public space, and for detractors, it was a dangerous weapon, the star of ‘hatpin peril’. I definitely did not expect this small accessory to have such a fascinating story amongst the societal shifts of the late 19th-early 20th centuries, and I’m really excited to share its story with all of you! Take a listen on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

Content warning for discussion of sexual harassment and assault, sexism, and self-defense in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Get Thee To A Nunnery: Amesbury Priory and the Nun-Princess

On the first Open House episode of this season of Works Not Cited, I’m taking you to the opulent private chamber of Mary of Woodstock at Amesbury Abbey and discussing the life of this nun-princess; her early veiling, her material world, her involvement in intercession, and (briefly) her love of gambling. I’ve been looking forward to digging into Mary’s material life for months, and I’m really excited to bring this episode to you all today.

The Goddaughter of the Virginians: the 18th century experience of five Murray women

After a bit of a break, I’m back with the season premiere of Works Not Cited!!! Today, I’m putting a spin on all the Virginia history I learned in college and discussing the lives of the Murray ladies, the wife and daughters of the infamous Lord Dunmore. From Virginia to Italy, this episode discusses colonial politics, Georgian society, women’s experiences, secret marriages, financial independence and inheritance, and more. I’m really happy to be back recording and sharing history with you all, and I hope you enjoy this episode!

The Five Moons of Ballet- Rosella Hightower, Moscelyne Larkin, Yvonne Chouteau, and Maria and Marjorie Tallchief

Today, to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day (which is this coming Monday, October 12th!!) I’m sharing the stories of the Five Moons; five indigenous women from Oklahoma who gained international fame as ballet dancers in the early 20thcentury! They were brilliant performers, leaders, and educators, bringing attention to Native American artistry through their dances. I absolutely loved researching these women, especially since their words survive in books, documentaries, and interviews, and I’m so excited to share their narratives with all of you!

One Woman in Wartime- Edna Odell and World War I

Today, I’m tracing New York resident Edna Odell’s experience of WWI; serving as a nurse with the American Red Cross, working with war orphans as part of the Children’s Bureau, and eventually adopting two children herself. This episode is the product of the research I’ve been doing as a volunteer for the Friends of the Odell House Rochambeau HQ, which has been an absolute blast and pulled me down numerous rabbit holes!

Hiding the Secret Annex: The helpers of Prinsengracht 263

Today, I’m taking you to a famous building in 1940s Amsterdam; Prinsengracht 263, where Anne Frank and her family hid for two years to escape Nazi persecution and violence during the Holocaust. While the Secret Annex remains the most well-known part of the building, I’ll be taking you through the rest of the structure, introducing (and hopefully doing justice to) the helpers who kept the Annex occupants safe and, in the words of Anne Frank herself, “displayed heroism in their cheerfulness and affection”.

Today, I’m diving deep into fashion history with a study of a gown in Colonial Williamsburg’s collection that has a history from 18th century women’s silk design to 19th century fancy dress! Female artisans, business-owners, consumers, inheritors, and partiers- they’re all here!

Library to the Lost Generation- Sylvia Beach and Shakespeare and Company

Today's Open House takes you to 1920s Paris to the rue de l’Odeon, where Sylvia Beach gathered the literary community and the Lost Generation in her bookstore and library, Shakespeare and Company! With a listen, you can tour the shop where Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and more borrowed books and gathered for literary debate, and get to know the woman who was the heart of this literary community. It’s an homage to avid readers. Learn more and bibliography available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vzpiH6bRpus_ikDl5_b_WWiG2QISs98UrO6dIykiyY8/edit?usp=sharing

Riding with the Cavalry- The Life And Work of Mabel Ping-Hua Lee

Riding with the Cavalry- The Life And Work of Mabel Ping-Hua Lee

Today, I’m commemorating the 100th anniversary of the ratification and certification of the 19th Amendment (and the work still to be done regarding women’s rights) by shedding some light onto the life and work of Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Chinese-American suffragette, feminist, writer, educator, and activist. Featured in the New York Tribune in 1912, she is probably best known for leading the May 4th, 1912 women’s suffrage demonstration in NYC on horseback as part of a women’s cavalry! I say ‘amazing’ a lot this episode because it’s hard to find the right words to convey how inspiring learning about Lee’s life was.

Health, History, and Horses at Saratoga Springs, NY and Disney’s Saratoga Springs

Today, I’m taking you to Florida and New York to discuss how the history of Saratoga Springs, NY was translated in design to Disney World's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa! It's an excuse for me to discuss history based hotel design and pay homage to an upstate New York town that's close to my heart!

A Graduation Portrait- Marie Gordon, Holsinger’s studio, and African American education in Virginia

Today, I’m returning to Virginia with a discussion of Rufus Holsinger’s striking photograph of Marie S. Gordon, on the occasion of her 8th grade graduation! This leads into the larger themes of African American education in Virginia (the Bray School! Gowan Pamphlet! Education in secret!) and visual culture (combating white supremacy with images of dignity!).

Shoes on the stair- Olga Gumpertz and life in a NYC tenement

Today, I’m taking you back in time in the Big Apple and discussing tenement life for German immigrants in the 1880s through the eyes of 12 year old Olga Gumpertz. It's a bit of a twist on the usual Jacob Riis narrative. Apologies ahead for some of the audio inconsistencies, recording was just a little crazy today! Enjoy!

Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger and her search for Enlightenment

Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger and her search for Enlightenment

Today on Works Not Cited, I’m taking cues from musical theatre yet again by discussing the life of Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, who secured Vincent van Gogh’s legacy, strove for self-improvement and fulfillment, and features prominently in the musical Starry.

Dining on the Titanic

Dining on the Titanic

For the second episode of Works Not Cited: Open House, I discuss two of the dining rooms on the Titanic, First Class and Third Class, and use their design to discuss immigration, historical revivalism, society, wealth, and imperialism. As my longest episode to date, it’s pretty obvious that I’ve got a few thoughts about eating on the ‘ship of dreams.’
