Hitting for a Cause' at Total Sports in RossfordROSSFORD, Ohio — Young baseball players from the area took part in "Hitting for a Cause" at Total Sports in Rossford on Friday, all in an effort to help a local man working to pay off his medical bills.Each kid hit eight pitches and pledged money for each foot the ball traveled. They were doing it to raise money for Lupe Hinojosa. Over the last two years, Hinojosa has been battling stage three colon cancer as well as COVID-19. All the money raised will go to help cover his medical bills, a gesture Hinojosa was very grateful for."It means a lot to me. I couldn't do it without them," said Hinojosa. "I appreciate all the boys at girls at Total Sports for doing this for me. I didn't think anybody would do this for me and it was a blessing."Garry Isbell, director of baseball at Total Sports, says this kind of event is what sports are all about."It always brings joy to me. It always brings a sense of graciousness as to why I do what I do," said Isbell. Isbell says they have been holding events like this for 15 years.

On today’s episode, I’ll tell you about my graduation from the Ginger Yoda Dojo and my husband’s new job. Mentioned in this episode Sean Pratt, audiobook narrator My ACX narrator profile VOcation Conference Kimber Boothe Highlights After more than a year of being a student, I graduated from Sean Pratt’s audiobook narration program! Another way to say this is that I graduated from the Ginger Yoda Dojo. Sean’s nickname is the Ginger Yoda. He has red hair, and he is a mentor, like Yoda. I’m not sure where the Dojo part came from, but I think it sounds cooler than the word “School.” I didn’t make it up, so I’m going with it. I completed all 14 lessons of one-on-one training. Sean helped me improve my performance skills and taught me about the business of being an audiobook narrator. Each lesson was part performance training and part business coaching. There was homework. It was very time-consuming and challenging, but I improved. Sean taught me how to tell a good story, among other things. Because of him, I’m on the roster as narrator for several platforms, including ACX. This means I can produce audiobooks for Audible, among other platforms. I worked really hard, and Sean was a fantastic coach. (Thank you Sean! I did it!) My husband started his new job this week. He’s working for Amazon. He’s training to be an Operations Manager at the new Amazon Fulfillment Center in Rossford, OH. He likes it, and I’m happy for him! I’m adjusting to being a stay-at-home Mom again. The kids are kind of back to school. I have to work around their schedule and my husband’s again. I am finishing narrating an e-learning course, and I’m looking forward to an online voiceover conference called VOcation next weekend. Join me next week for an interview with Dr. Kimber Boothe, a pharmacist entrepreneur, online course creator, coach, and advocate.

How I funneled my business ideas down to just one (includes business ideas I didn’t use)

In episode 22, I talk about how I funneled my business ideas down to just one. When people meet me and learn that I am a voice actor, the most common question they ask is, “How did you get started doing THAT?” Mentioned in this episode Road House featuring Patrick Swayze (1989) Drug Take-Back Day Pharmacy Camp at The University of Toledo Prevention Specialist (Wood County, OH) Injury Prevention Specialist - Amazon (Rossford, OH) Injury Prevention Specialist - Tesla (Fremont, CA) Wood County Board of Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS Board) Drug Disposal Box List Wood County, OH Wood County Addiction Task Force Safe Kids Greater Toledo Poison Help Line 1-800-222-1222 In Episode 1 of this podcast, I mentioned that I came up with the idea to narrate pharmacist continuing education journals into audio format. I went forward with the narration business idea because I felt I had a problem I could solve and get paid for providing a service. When I picked that idea and ran with it, however, I left several other ideas behind. I funneled my business ideas down to just one. Recently, I found a list from summer 2017, with all the business ideas I considered. That was 3 years ago! I had decided to start a business, and I knew I wanted to provide narration services. I just hadn’t funneled my ideas down to just one thing yet. I also didn’t know that the voiceover industry even existed at that point. 3 years ago, in the summer of 2017, having a narration business was one of many business ideas. Working a traditional pharmacist job wasn’t an option. I needed a part-time job I could do “in the margins," so-to-speak. We don’t have affordable, reliable, skilled childcare for our 17-year-old son with autism. My business ideas centered around keeping my schedule flexible and my availability open if my kids had an unexpected illness, an emergency, a school delay, or a school closing. I spent 19 years building a reputation as a reliable and responsible pharmacist. It wouldn’t take me long to tarnish my reputation with a string of cancellations. When I was looking to start a business, it was during a time that I volunteered extensively. I love to help people, yet I wanted to work. I wanted to have a job. But, I couldn’t get a job because I was volunteering too much. Plus, I was needed at home to run the house and be there for the kids. My husband understands me very well, and he had a good point when he told me that, “If you want to have a business and make money, you have to stop giving your time away.” I needed to hear that. Every entrepreneur does. I have heard that advice many times since. At first, I tried to find a way to monetize what I was doing as a volunteer. I’m passionate about drug abuse prevention education, poisoning prevention education, medication safety education, advocating drug take-back days, and speaking to high school students considering a career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences. You might be wondering, what are the ideas I left behind? Get ready for a list of 4 ideas I didn’t use. #1 Medicine cabinet clean-out service. Another title I considered for this was “Drug Take-Back Consultant” I wanted to go into people’s homes and help them clean out their medicine cabinets. Literally, I would help them get their stuff out of the house and get rid of it the right way. Once we had a clean slate, we would come up with a current list of medications and a shopping list of items to replace, if needed. This is a great time to stick in a public service announcement. Disposing of unwanted, unused, and expired medications properly prevents theft, drug misuse and abuse (which can lead to addiction), and accidental poisonings and overdoses. In addition, it protects the environment and saves lives. I would have enjoyed having a medicine cabinet clean-out service. I love to organize information, and I’m passionate about drug take-back. #2 Analog personal health record organizer. I wanted to use this idea as an add-on service from the medicine cabinet clean-out service I just mentioned. If you’re a pharmacist and can monetize this idea, go for it. EVERY TOWN IN AMERICA NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL WHO ORGANIZES HEALTH INFORMATION FOR OTHERS. This idea reminds me of the movie Road House, featuring Patrick Swayze. At one point, Patrick Swayze’s character gets injured and has to go to the doctor. When he gets to the doctor, he hands over his CHART. His entire medical history is in a physical chart in his hands. He can go to whomever he wants for care and not have to worry about having an accurate written medical history. All the information is in one place! I thought it would be a good idea to go to patient homes and help them get their information all into one place. Then, anyone who needs access to that information in an emergency could have it: caregivers, children, siblings, neighbors. Here is the list of 11 items I would have included in an analog personal health record: Ht, wt, and allergies, dated within 6 months Current list of medications, herbals, dietary supplements, and over the counter items (also known as OTC’s) List of medical conditions that pairs with each medication, OTC, herbal, or dietary supplement. Immunization record (last 10 years) List of healthcare professionals and last date seen. This would include primary care providers, specialists, chiropractor, etc. Don’t assume everyone ONLY uses Western Medicine! List of surgeries Family history Advanced directives, such as a do not resuscitate (DNR) order, durable power of attorney (POA), living will, HC Proxy, etc. Lab results from the last 5 years Social history: List of workplace, family, close friends Habits: Alcohol, Tobacco, other drugs, and addictions I did not move forward with this business idea because I was unsure how to monetize it. I also needed permission from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to store patient information in my home. I’d love to revisit this business idea some day. It would probably make a great on-line course. #3 Attend a doctor’s appointment with a patient. I wanted to offer this as an add-on service to one of the last two services I mentioned. Some people just need a second set of ears at an appointment. I would take notes during the visit, help them follow through with their provider’s plan, and help them ask questions. #4 Keynote Speaker I actually ended up doing this. After more than 10 years of volunteering to speak at a Pharmacy Summer Camp for high school students considering a career in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences at The University of Toledo, I became a paid speaker. It’s only one day a year. I would love to speak at other events on topics I’m passionate about. I’m not actively pursuing keynote speaking at this time though. Why didn’t I pursue any of these ideas? They’re all reasonable, and they all appeal to me. I couldn’t find a way to monetize them or scale them. The marketing was outside my comfort zone The permission needed to use and store protected health information would have required additional licensing in Ohio. I had strong concerns about my availability for my family. I would have taken more risks and found a way to make it work if I wanted to do the work badly enough. I love to help people, and I would have loved the challenge of using my identity as a pharmacist to clean out medicine cabinets, organize health information, attend appointments, or book more keynote-speaking gigs. It didn’t work out, and I’m at peace about it. I also considered working for someone else in the areas that I liked to volunteer. I considered becoming a Prevention Specialist, an Injury prevention specialist, joining the staff at my county’s ADAMHS Board, working at a Poison Control Call Center, and becoming a High School Counselor. Here’s why each of them appealed to me. #1 Prevention Specialist I would have worked in a school and educated students about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and supported staff as needed. Drug abuse prevention education is a passion of mine. I volunteer with my county’s Addiction Task Force - formerly Opiate Task Force. I help with outreach events and provide input as a pharmacist. I also advocate drug take-back days. I create, update, and distribute my county’s list of drug disposal boxes. The list is used by behavioral health agencies, police and fire departments, libraries, and other places in my county. I volunteer because I care. I also happen to be the only pharmacist in the group. #2 Injury Prevention Specialist Injury prevention specialists are problem-solvers. They assess safety problems and determine the leading causes of serious injuries. Then, they provide outreach and education or affect policy changes that will help prevent injuries. They get data from businesses, hospitals, clinics, and death certificates. Ex: The Amazon Distribution Center in Rossford, OH is hiring an injury prevention specialist. Tesla is looking for one in their Fremont, CA site. Injury prevention is important, and those jobs interest me. I do volunteer with an injury-prevention coalition called Safe Kids Greater Toledo. There are 3 things I do for them: Poisoning Prevention Education, Medication Safety Education, and Drug Take-Back Day Advocacy. Safe Kids Greater Toledo focuses on preventing injuries in children birth through age 14. I volunteer at elementary schools, health fairs, and other outreach events (“Safe Kids Day”). I prevent injuries when I teach children and adults about the poison help line, pretty poisons, and keeping things out of sight and out of reach. The poison help line number is 1-800-222-1222. (#3) The third non-pharmacy job I considered was working for the Wood County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS Board). I love volunteering with my county’s Addiction Task Force. It is co-chaired by the Director of Community Programs for the Wood County ADAMHS Board. I believe in what they do so strongly that I considered applying for a job. They provide support services for individuals with serious or persistent mental illness and addiction disorders in our county. #4 Poison Control Call Center Worker I have a passion for poisoning prevention. It should be no surprise that I considered working for a poison control center. I didn’t look into it too hard, but I think I would have liked the work. I plan to interview someone who works for the poison control helpline on this podcast and learn more about what they do. (#5) Finally, the fifth non-pharmacy job I considered was School Counselor. Even though I love working with teenagers and talking to them at career day. I did not pursue this idea. I would have needed additional education, and it would have led to a full-time job outside the home. Even though I didn’t become a school counselor, I continue to volunteer at high school career days. Life is complicated. Of these last five opportunities, some required additional education, and all had inflexible work hours. So, I didn’t pursue them. I funneled my ideas down to just one. Because of life circumstances and the lifestyle my husband and I want for our family, I felt that the only idea that could possibly work was becoming a narrator. In the voiceover industry, I can work “in the margins” while the kids are at school or in the evenings. The additional education I need can be done from home at my own pace. I can slowly ramp up the business instead of immediately working 40 hours/week. If my family has an emergency, I’m home. The potential income is higher than anything else I considered too. It took me almost 2 years to funnel my ideas down to just one. I looked at my strengths, interests, and availability. What I ended up with is something I absolutely love. Like I mentioned in the first episode, I think I found the job Mark Twain alluded to in his famous quote, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast has listeners in 22 countries and 37 US States.

Announcer : From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, this is BG ideas. Musical Intro: I'm going to show him this with a wonderful experiment. Jolie: Welcome to the Big Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. I'm Dr. Jolie Sheffer, Associate Professor of English and American Culture Studies, and the Director of ICS. This is a special episode of the podcast, which we are recording during the COVID-19 pandemic. That means we're not in the studio, but are talking via phone and computer. Our sound quality will be different as a result. Jolie: But now more than ever, I thought it was important to share with you some of the amazing work being done by members of the BGSU community. Even, or especially when conditions are challenging, we need to recognize and celebrate great ideas. As always the opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals involved, and do not necessarily represent those of BGSU or its employees. Today I'm speaking with Dr. Lori Ligate, a Senior Lecturer at BGSU in the School of Media and Communication who's teaching and research focus on gender and visual culture. She's a spring of 2020 ICS faculty fellow who is doing public scholarship focused on images of womanhood in popular media during the era of women's suffrage. I'm really pleased to get to talk with you today, Lori. Thank you for being flexible and joining me, virtually. Lori: Thank you. I appreciate it. Jolie: To start off, could you tell us a little bit about how you got interested in studying the era of women's suffrage? And what have been some of the more interesting and surprising directions that this research has led you? Lori: Right. Well, basically I got involved in studying the suffrage movement about 25 years ago, and it wasn't my original intent. I was studying women's service magazines of the late 19th century. Women's service magazines are things like Godey's Ladies Book, which was one of the first one. Then you segue into things like Good Housekeeping. Lori: I was interested in motherhood, domesticity from a sociopolitical point of view. As I was doing decades of looking at literally every issue of Good Housekeeping, I started seeing this pivot from talking about new household technologies, and cooking procedures and new techniques for mothers, and into more political stuff. And immediately I was hooked. And of course, I knew a little bit about the suffrage movement, but I hadn't seen it within that context. And it shocked me, because there were actual literary essays that would appear in the service magazines. Lori: I also started seeing it in advertising, just references were popping up everywhere. And when I really got into it was probably around the, I would say, 1908, 1910 issues. When you started seeing, and remember this as Good Housekeeping, references to militarism, to women becoming militant, to radicalism. Now, this is Good Housekeeping. I guarantee you, if you were to go to the newsstand today and pick up a Good Housekeeping, you would not see anything on radicalism and militancy. I was shocked. Lori: This was largely due to what was going on in Great Britain at the time. And a leader in Great Britain, one of the leaders, is the famous or infamous Emmeline Pankhurst. And the British movement had become militant at that point. We started to see the beginnings of that in the American suffragist movement. I just never imagined I would see it in Good Housekeeping. So that's the origins of it. Jolie: And what were some of the elements of your research that surprised you most? You said that the language of militancy, but what about some of the visual iconography? Lori: Well, I expanded from there over the last 25 years, I guess I would consider myself a media scholar, but I really focus on visual culture and visual communication. I've always been attracted to the images of things. When I study media, I'm interested in mediated images. And so I was already studying advertising. Lori: This was a long way to get to the bicycling stuff that I'm doing now, but I am a fanatic about the art nouveau movement, which was late 1880s, at full steam in the 1890s, less popular, but still very prevalent up until the start of World War I. I started seeing images of women in advertising that was very much art nouveau style, but would have a political element. In a lot of those images, I noticed that they were using the bicycle. And so you would see women on bicycles, advertising everything from soap to cigars, to carpeting, to flour. Things that had nothing to do with bicycling, but you would see a woman and a bicycle. Lori: I was just fascinated by that. And I started collecting images of women on bikes. Basically, what I was doing, I was downloading JPEGs, and just keeping an archive, trying to figure out what to do with it. At some point, I would say probably in the 1970s, definitely by the eighties, and certainly the nineties and throughout, you started to see more scholarship on the suffrage movement that wasn't what we would call traditional history. Lori: I was a grad student in the nineties, and so looking at material culture and the sociopolitical angle of political culture, it sort of brought everything together for me. So we've got these visual images, we've got advertising, we've got women's politics, we've got for some reason the bicycle, which I didn't understand at that point. And really a couple of decades later, it leads me to the project that I'm working on now. Jolie: Tell us a little bit about some of that research, and what have you discovered was the role or the purpose of all of that focus on the bicycle? What is the connection to women's voting, and changing women's rights? Lori: I had to backtrack and learn a lot about bicycle history. I'm certainly not an expert, but I know a lot more about bicycle history than I did, let's say nine months ago, let's put it that way. And so the bicycle itself is just a fascinating global phenomenon. Today we would look at a bicycle and almost all of us, regardless of gender, of where you live in the world, the bicycle has been part of your life at some point. There's reason for that, which is that the bicycle represents the first device that permitted human beings to self mobilize. Lori: In the 1600's, there are images of people on these things that kind of look like a bike. People were imagining something along those lines. But it takes until about, I think the date is 1817, and you have a German guy, his name was Karl Von Drais, or Dryas probably. He developed this thing called a running machine. Now what was the running machine? They were also called hobby horses, or dandy horses. Another name based on his name was a Draisine. What it was is it was something that looked like a bicycle, two wheels. There was a plank that you would sit on. Lori: You would straddle it, sit on it. And then with your feet, almost like Fred Flinstone, you would move it along. It took decades of improvements until you get to the 1860s. And you have something that the French developed, which was called the boneshaker. The boneshaker was called that because it was incredibly hard on the cyclist's body. Lori: At the time these devices would have been made out of wood and steel. The tires, there was no tire the way we think of it. The wheels were made out of iron or steel. And so if you wrote it, it was just shaking every bone in your body, so it was called the boneshaker. And there was a woman's version, which was called the tricycle. They develop these three-wheel devices, extremely heavy, extremely expensive, not to be ridden in public. But only wealthy women who had private space, so garden space, would ride a tricycle. It said that Queen Victoria had a couple of them. And they were pretty popular amongst the wealthy. But you did not see women riding a tricycle out in public spaces. Jolie: Well, so fast forward a little bit to how does that get associated? How do these new technologies and improvements to this, get associated with ordinary middle-class and working-class women? Lori: It's interesting you say ordinary because the bicycle, the one we think of with the big wheel and the little back wheel, that was actually called the ordinary. And that was developed in the 1870s. It was called a high wheel or an ordinary, and it was considered an improvement on the boneshaker because it was light and it was fast. It was extremely difficult to maneuver. Riding schools were set up. Lori: But you actually had women, particularly in the beginning, French women who started almost performing on these high wheelers. They would come to the United States and perform as almost circus acts. And they were working women. They were women who were not from the upper classes. They tended to wear clothing that was considered back then a little scanty. And they were seen really as spectacle, as an oddity. Lori: In the late 1880s, you have something developed that's called the safety. The safety is really the progenitor of the bicycle today. And almost immediately due to a guy in American named Albert Pope, he imported the safety. He bought all the patents for it, and he started marketing like crazy. And Americans started buying the safety. Just a couple of years of the safety coming to the United States, bike manufacturers started doing something they called the drop frame so that women could get on to the bike. Lori: Women took to it like crazy. And in the 1890s, you have something that was called the bicycle craze. And it truly was this phenomenon. I don't want to bore you with details. But just to give you an example in 1885, you had six bicycle manufacturers in the United States, just six, and they were producing about 11,000 bikes a year. In 1895, there were 125 manufacturers. They were producing a half a million bikes a year. A year later, it was a million bikes. Lori: What happened is, oftentimes the bike is seen as this great democratic equalizer of the classes and gender. We had all these social reform movements. By the 1890s, the women's suffrage movement had been pretty much in full swing for almost 50 years, with peaks and valleys, of course. But things were different. Lori: There were new technologies. Technologies in communication, transportation, mass media. Newspapers were the most popular form of communication, and the price of a newspaper had dropped. The relationship there is that the ability to find out about these devices was available to almost everyone, whether you were in an urban area or a rural area. And bikes became prevalent in the streets. Lori: Now, not everyone liked them. A lot of cities imposed bans, and there were bands against women riding bikes. One of the things that ties to the suffrage movement is that during the 1890s, so you have the bicycle craze, but you also have probably the, I don't know if I'm would say the height, but the beginning of the strength of the suffrage press. Lori: And as there were mainstream and regional, national newspapers all across country, suffrage leaders started publishing their own works. And there were many. I think in the 1890s, there were something like 30 different suffrage publications. And these acted... Of course, they were political, but they were also quite social. And they serve the purpose of creating community amongst women who are geographically separated, and also maybe not have the same political mindset. Lori: A lot of women probably had not heard about the details of a lot of political organizing that was going on. Or perhaps it had always been treated as this anomaly, this strange thing on the side that was going on. But the way we do social media today, it's very difficult to think about, that someone would take the time to write a letter to the editor, then wait for a month, and get the response. But it was really the way that women communicated. Lori: They would write in a question to the editor and then people would respond with helpful tips in. It was really sort of an exchange of ideas. And you had things that within the suffrage press that certainly were talking about the issue of suffrage, and other social reform issues, but bicycling, or cycling in the 1890s became one of the major topics of conversation. Lori: That's what women wanted to know about. They wanted to know things like how do you ride a bike? How do I get a bike? How much do they cost? What do you do when people harass you, and jeer at you and throw things at you and call you names? Which were all things that happen with great frequency. And the suffrage press played this incredible role in bringing women together in a political way, in a community way. Lori: And also the specific thing, which was the bicycle. Jolie: 2020 marks, the hundredth anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. What are some of the things we might take for granted now that back then really posed major obstacles to the women fighting for suffrage? Lori: If we look at... The marker for the women's suffrage movement is 1848, the Seneca Falls convention, out of which Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, and a hundred other people created something called the Declaration of Sentiments. The purpose of that conference, or convention, initially was not for women to gain the right to vote, or even to advocate for the right to vote. It ended up, they discussed that. But it was really the whole women's rights in general. Things we take for granted. Lori: Women during that time period could not serve on a jury. They had no legal rights. They could not own property. They did not have the right to their own children. They did not have the right to divorce. And all of that is based on the United States, adopting a legal system which was based on the English common law system, which is called coverture. And basically what that says is when a man and a woman marry, they become one person and that one person is the male. Lori: The woman's identity was figuratively, but legally and economically merged into with the male. She really was the property if she was single, of her father, if she was married, her husband. And it was really that, that the women's rights movement began to address. And out of that, then the very soon realization was if you don't have the right to vote and you don't have any means to influence lawmakers. You don't have access. Without access you have nothing. Lori: And I think today we are still fighting for so many rights to access, but we don't realize that the most fundamental rights were not ours, except for the people who are part of the suffrage movement for 72 years. And of course today, again, it's people all over the world and people who identify all different ways, who are still fighting for access. Access to self-governance to a voice in governance, to the financial systems, economic systems. So there are a lot of parallels to today. It just seems very diffused today. You know, it's much more diffused and, but yeah, we owe them a lot. Jolie: Many of us have learned some of those major figures from the suffrage movement, but there are many more that are less well known. Do you have any particular figures or key moments in history that you'd like to draw our attention to that maybe don't get covered in the one chapter or that one paragraph in a given textbook? Lori: Right. There is a lot of work going on today to look at individual stories that have not been told about the suffrage movement, and to look at particular demographics within the suffrage movement that before this have not been discussed. Of course, African American women, Native American women, and women of color in general, Asian Americans, immigrants, people who were not fully Americans were part of the movement from its very inception. Lori: We know some of those famous names. We know Harriet Tubman. In fact, there was a movie that was just out about Harriet Tubman. A lot of the black women who were involved in the movement in the early years, came out of the abolitionist movement, as did almost all of the early white women came out out of the abolitionist movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott who's my ancestor, by the way, Susan B, Anthony. Lori: Those are the names that we know. They all started as abolitionists. They were anti-slavery reformers. Sojourner Truth, who gave the famous speech, "ain't I a woman," in Akron, Ohio. And she was really talking about rights in general. And I don't want to pare down what she said too much, but I encourage anyone to watch some of the reenactments that have been done. I think Alfre Woodard does one. There are quite a few famous black female actors who have reenacted, not necessarily in dress, but the voice, the speech of Sojourner Truth, it is powerful. Lori: You also have so many women who are involved that are much lesser-known, but not during the time period. Ida B Wells, she was a famous person, anti-lynching activist, and journalist. Mary Church Terrell who I believe got her degree at Oberlin College, and was an educator and very well known in the movement. Lori: And then there are all the women that you would see them as the set actors in a movie, in a documentary where you don't know their names, you don't know who they are. But the movement took just thousands and thousands and thousands of people. I mean the movement was 72 years long. It was multigenerational. The two of us, we would have been in the middle of those generations. We would have had mothers and grandmothers, and daughters, and nieces. It was multigenerational. The earliest women in the movement never lived to see the 19th amendment. That always makes me very sad. Lori: But Lucretia Mott died, I think, in 1893, I think that's the date. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, I want to say about 1904, something. Susan B. Anthony, a couple of years after that. Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, all these people, they didn't actually... And this was their life work. This was their job. Lori: And so I think that we... I teach a narrative structure in scriptwriting for television and film. One of the principles that I always try to explain to my students is we never want to look at a movie and say, "Well, it's not as good as the book." The movie is a snapshot, and those snapshots are typically, they become engaging when we have what we call a representative character. And so what's happened is the most well known white women of the suffrage movement have become our representative characters that have taken us through the movement. And now in the last 20 years, it's been about expanding that snapshot. Let's go down all these different avenues. And I think when you study visual culture, you study material culture, you look at visual communication. You start to see that the snapshot is a very, very, very... It can be a very full portrait of all of the people who were involved, including men. of course. Jolie: We're going to take a quick break. Thanks for listening to the big ideas podcast. Announcer : If you are passionate about big ideas, consider sponsoring this program. To have your name or organization mentioned here, please contact ICS at ics@bgsu.edu. Jolie: Hello and welcome back to the Big Ideas podcast today. I'm talking to Dr. Lori Ligate about the Centenary of women's suffrage. Lori, we've been talking a lot about the past and about rediscovering this history. What relevance do you think this story has for our own times? Are there particular points of struggle that today really signify the challenges to women's participation in US politics and governance? Lori: Well, I want to answer that probably two ways. And I'll start with something that is on everyone's mind today, which is that the women's suffrage movement at its endpoint in 1918 was the great flu influenza pandemic. I'm not an expert in that by any means, but of course I've been reading about it recently with regards to the women's suffrage movement. It was sort of a light bulb one day when I realized, I'm doing all this work and I've got all this timeline in my head. And someone mentioned the 1918 influenza pandemic, which I knew that was the year, I was aware of that. I'd never put the two together and thought, "Wow, what did this do to the suffrage movement?" I mean, we have to remember that was a catastrophic global event. In United States, alone, 675000 people died, worldwide 50 million. Lori: And so I look to see what other scholars and journalists have written about this, and actually, Google it, there's some really interesting information to be learned about the women's suffrage movement, and the 1918 flu pandemic. It almost derailed the movement. I don't think it's too far fetched to say that we here in 2020, a hundred years ago, we are very lucky that somehow these women and men were so organized, and had such a machine in place that somehow they were able to overcome this catastrophic world event. And just two years later, less than two years later, 18 months, really the 36th state, Tennessee ratified the 19th amendment. But it almost derailed it. Lori: I read something recently. What it said is that one of the things that happened, we know that during World War I, just like World War II, many women moved into the workforce because the men were away. What I didn't realize was that because the flu pandemic, that also contributed women going into the workforce. Now that need seems antithetical to what we think. But so many men were away during World War II, and then you've got this pandemic. Lori: Women were working as nurses, even if they weren't nurses, they were doing nursing type work, moving into the workforce in a way that had never happened before. Soldiers were coming back from the battlefield and bringing the influenza with them. The death amongst American soldiers was higher than any other population. And so there's all this interconnection between this political movement that had been going on for 70 years and this global pandemic. I think about today when everything has stopped, it seems like. In reality it hasn't. There is still activism that's happening. Right now we're talking probably more than decades about the Equal Rights Amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment grew directly out of the women's suffrage movement. Lori: The sad thing about that now is that we have now surpassed the number of years that it took for women to gain the right to vote. We have not yet attained the Equal Rights Amendment. I think that's sort of a great parallel for today is that, we have so many more mechanisms in place. I mean, what we're doing today, looking at each other awkwardly, in real-time and using several devices to hopefully record this. Now we have devices, technology, means to communicate, and to have a voice that the women and the men back then did not. And the activism that's happening in terms of equal pay, equal access, and I guess just generally equal rights is continuing must continue. And however long this pandemic takes, we can't be derailed by it. Jolie: Talking about the current pandemic. You were on fellowship with ICS this semester, so you were already released from teaching and service, but how has your life changed? Granted, what was already supposed to be a restful, and research focused semester? What has happened to you? Lori: Anticipating that you might ask that question, I've run through many scenarios of how I would answer it in my head. Because the first thing I want to say from a very sincere and genuine place is how much I have appreciated being given this opportunity to do this fellowship. I started really last summer. I forget when it was announced that I got it. I think it was a semester before that. But really last summer I started putting the wheels in motion. I taught a class last semester on the women's suffrage movement. And I went at this full steam. Lori: This semester with not having to teach, and not doing service, the goal was to get out into some archives. I love doing archival research. I wanted to see the bicycle museum, which is located in New Bremen, Ohio. There are quite a few archives that are within driving distance. And so I think that was the first thing was the realization, and I'll be honest, it took me probably like a lot of this, quite a few weeks to realize that probably wasn't going to happen this semester. A lot of archival materials today, thank goodness, are digitized. When you really start looking at things specifically, you realize that a lot of things still are not digitized. So that's been difficult. Lori: As you know, the two primary requirements of the fellowship are the public community presentation, which for me was a scheduled for March 28th. And I would have been doing a very visual, public-friendly, community-friendly talk on the suffrage movement and the impact of the bicycle, and vice versa. Of course, that was canceled. Lori: And then the other thing that just breaks my heart is the Ohio Humanities for the last, I don't know how many years have sponsored a series of Chautauqua programs in Ohio. This was meant to be the last year of Ohio Chautauqua. And this year there were two planned, and one of them was in Rossford, Ohio, which of course is very close to us. And pure coincidence, the theme was Voting in America. I found out about this, I thought I was dreaming, I contacted them and basically forced myself upon them, and met with various people. So we started meeting, I was on the Chautauqua planning committee. I forget how many meetings we had. I think I had a preliminary meeting to meet the director. And then the committee met at least two times. Lori: And it was this great group of people. There were two of us educational types, or educator types on it. But we had the parks and rec guy, and we had the woman who is the local historian, and we had librarians, librarians are good for everything, librarians. Lori: And so this committee of about 10 people, and the Chautauqua was planned for, I think it was the second week, was a five-day event planned for the second week in June. We had five, I study documentaries, so we call them social actors. But I guess in the Chautauqua world, they are a re-enactors. They are the actors that play certain characters from history, coming from different parts of the country. I was working with the League of Women voters and they were going to... And I think I was going to do it too, I was sort of getting my nerve up to dress as suffragists, and to have a parade. And we were going to have voter education materials, and end of the story, it was canceled. Lori: So there is some hope that it could happen in the fall, but I don't know how much that's hope and how much that's reality. That's the way it is. And so I've had to pivot in the work that I'm doing, and go back to doing more secondary source staff, sort of get my wind back a little bit. And I'm going back and looking at some of the 1890s poster art that I love. I'm looking at that from perhaps a 19th-century taxonomy of women. There's still so much interesting work to be done, but it's been disappointing. But I've got a good compared to a lot of people. So I can't be overly disappointed. Jolie: We've talked about this a bit, but about how this movement overlapped with a world war, a different pandemic. As last thoughts for our conversation, is there any kind of lessons we can take, that you would want us to take away from the suffrage movement, managing to persevere in the face of long odds, and many internal and external challenges? Lori: I guess what I would say is that what history teaches us is that the reform movements, social and political, economic, whatever I'm using reform sort of broadly, they succeed if people don't give up. And we have to remember that there are always going to be ebbs and flows to everything. I try to tell myself this personally. There are ebbs and flows to everything, but if you keep going and your commitment is there, the success will eventually come. Lori: Now, whether or not the people who begin the movement live to see it, that's another thing that seems very sad. But what becomes most important is the work itself. And I have experience in labor organizing and that sort of thing, and what I will say is, and this is contrary to what we're taught from a self improvement, that every individual makes a difference. Lori: I think when we look at history, it is always the collective. It is always the collective. We see individuals who stand up, and they become our representative figures in that part of the history. But if you explore further, it's usually a collective that may come after that individual, who takes up the cause and keeps it going. And so power in numbers, I guess, is what I would say. And we will get through this pandemic. When you look at the numbers from 1918, you look at things going back to the black plague, bubonic plague, all those, they wiped out huge numbers in the population, and you wonder how the human race survived. We will get through this, hopefully with not the catastrophic events or the effects of 1918. And so the work has to continue. The activism has to continue, and we've got the tools and mechanisms to make that happen. Jolie: Thank you so much, Lori. It was really great to talk to you. Lori: It was nice to talk to too. Thanks. It was good to see you, too. Jolie: I know, lovely to see you. Yes, we can't be there in person, but this is as close as we can get. Lori: Yes, absolutely.

Dr. James Van Keuren WWII POW Camps in Ohio ABOUT THIS EPISODE On episode 43 of Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast, we talk with James Van Keuren about his book, World War II POW Camps in Ohio. Drawing on first-person accounts from soldiers, former POWs and residents, as well as archival research, Dr. Van Keuren delves into the neglected history of Ohio's POW camps. During the 1940s, more than six thousand prisoners of war resided at nine camps in Ohio. The Italian POWs arrived first, charming "the locals with their affable, easygoing natures, while their German successors often put on a serious, intractable front." Some local residents fondly recall working alongside the prisoners and reuniting with them later in life. Others held the prisoners in disdain, feeling that they were coddled while natives struggled with day-to-day needs. This podcast episode was recorded March 24, 2020 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
