Dubbed the "first lady of radio," Mary Margaret McBride was a welcome voice in millions of homes in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, pulling in 6 to 8 million listeners daily! Mary Margaret interviewed 30,000 guests, from Eleanor Roosevelt to the neighborhood plumber, and produced 15,000 shows –– no repeats! Oh, and she was a radio pioneer, broadcasting some of those shows from her converted Catskills barn. When I learned about Mary Margaret, I picked up a copy of Susan Ware's biography, "It's One O'Clock and Here Is Mary Margaret McBride," and reading about her life in journalism, her passion for audio storytelling, and the heartfelt connection she made with her audience, I was awestruck. Join Susan Ware and I for a fascinating conversation about this Catskills broadcast legend. --- Thanks to our sponsors: Ulster Savings Bank, Briars & Brambles Books, and the Mountain Eagle.

Power and the Woman's Vote: How Can History Help? With Susan Ware

The women's rights movement dates back to as far as 1848. It has made significant strides to ensure women are being treated fairly at home, at work, and in society as a whole. This manifests in equal pay, a union for working women, and the right to vote.   Women's suffrage became the grounds from which women could put in place the various rights and laws that cater to needs specific to their lived experience.   In this episode, we're going to be discussing women's suffrage, the women's rights movement, and the social aspects of patriarchy. Joining us today is Susan Ware, author of various books including Beyond Suffrage: Women in the New Deal, Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote, and many more.   The Basis for Women's Rights   Women's rights have always been human rights. This encompasses all women, not just a certain group or race. The basis for women's rights is to ensure that women are equal and to be given the same amount of rights and responsibilities as men.   It was discussed that one look at the structures and hierarchies that make up the society we live in today shows that there are power struggles, glass ceilings, and unequal handouts for opportunity. In most scenarios, men were found to be in these groups of privilege while women were marginalized and disenfranchised.    How, then, do we empower women so that they can operate on an equal playing field? According to Susan Ware, political power is paramount. If women never secured the right to vote nor hold office, they would have continued to go unrepresented and unheard. As a result, the win for women's suffrage helped secure a variety of other rights for women because it gave them the economic, political, social, and cultural tools they needed to succeed.   Again, women's rights are human rights. Being biologically female does not make you a lesser human being than men, and your rights shouldn't be different. The sexes' differences should only be in biological function, not in rights. Humanity, as a collective, has the responsibility of making sure that men and women are equal—regardless of race or religion.    Changing the Status Quo   The Nineteenth Amendment brought about the right of American women to vote. It drastically changed the Constitution. This drastic change was brought about by equally drastic actions; it called for the struggles and efforts of so many people, with supporters carrying out rallies and marches, before finally achieving women's suffrage.   Another law that greatly affected African Americans is The Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices against African Americans. Harassment, intimidation, and physical violence discouraged African Americans from practising their right to vote. As a result, they were unable to fully wield their political power even though they were already allowed to vote.    This also concerned African American women as they faced not only sexism but racism as well. It's an indication that the struggles of marginalized communities do intersect and are doubly felt by certain groups. The fight for women's rights isn't just limited to the right to vote, but concerns a broader movement that also shares its struggles with other social movements.    No one ever achieves total success when it comes to social movements, and the same can be said for women's rights. The struggle will always be an up and down battle of wins and losses. However, our takeaway shouldn't be to just give up, but must instead continue to fight for what's right and just. Additionally, educating and empowering the next generation ensures that the movement will live on.   It is time for us to acknowledge: there are patriarchal aspects that are ingrained into our norms and social structures. These aspects indirectly hold back women, and consequently, society in general. This also reinforces the perspective of a patriarchal view, and convinces individuals into thinking that this is normal.   Women's Solidarity and Its Relevance to Society   The notion that women have only recently been able to participate in the broader world is false. Both women and men have always built history, and will continue to build the path towards our future.    However, it is unfortunate that women have not always been given the credit they deserve. This is evident throughout our history, given the amount of notable male individuals compared to females. Because of this, it's important to educate people about the contributions that women have made throughout history.   Through the women's rights movement, a sense of solidarity and camaraderie was formed for those involved, especially women. This created a feeling of joy of being united towards a common goal. Working together and sharing their struggles has united women in realizing the rights they should have gotten from the beginning.   Empowering Women With TARTLE   With every little success, the human rights that women have been deprived of are lessening, and despite the frustrations that come with any social movement. We are now in an era that the previous generation could only dream of, and that is something to take pride in.    Within the local and even national levels, women are forming collectives and organizations that aim to tackle the problems that plague our society. These include the aforementioned women's rights, but also problems like climate change and pollution.   TARTLE's mission is to become one of the platforms and tools that women can use to champion their cause and make their voices heard.

The ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which granted women the right to vote nationwide, was the culmination of a long and oftentimes contentious campaign that had its origins in the beginnings of the nation itself. In American Women's Suffrage: Voices from the Long Struggle for the Vote, 1776-1965 (Library of America, 2020) Susan Ware provides readers with a sampling of the letters, articles, speeches, and other contemporary documents that reflect both the ideas of the movement and the arguments deployed against it. Her selections demonstrate how the battle of women's suffrage was itself a part of a broader campaign for women's rights in the early 19th century. Though it was galvanized by the activism of women from the abolitionist movement, the solidarity born of common oppression was shattered after the Civil War, when many suffragists expressed frustration with their exclusion from the voting rights being granted to Blacks. While a corps of dedicated activists continued their campaign into the 20th century, it was only in the 1910s that momentum shifted decisively in their direction. As Ware demonstrates, their success in gaining ratification in 1920 was less the conclusion of women's efforts for political quality than it was the end of one stage and the beginning of a new effort to turn the newly-won franchise into political power – an effort that continues down to the present day.

The ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which granted women the right to vote nationwide, was the culmination of a long and oftentimes contentious campaign that had its origins in the beginnings of the nation itself. In American Women's Suffrage: Voices from the Long Struggle for the Vote, 1776-1965 (Library of America, 2020) Susan Ware provides readers with a sampling of the letters, articles, speeches, and other contemporary documents that reflect both the ideas of the movement and the arguments deployed against it. Her selections demonstrate how the battle of women's suffrage was itself a part of a broader campaign for women's rights in the early 19th century. Though it was galvanized by the activism of women from the abolitionist movement, the solidarity born of common oppression was shattered after the Civil War, when many suffragists expressed frustration with their exclusion from the voting rights being granted to Blacks. While a corps of dedicated activists continued their campaign into the 20th century, it was only in the 1910s that momentum shifted decisively in their direction. As Ware demonstrates, their success in gaining ratification in 1920 was less the conclusion of women's efforts for political quality than it was the end of one stage and the beginning of a new effort to turn the newly-won franchise into political power – an effort that continues down to the present day.

Tämänkertainen jakso aloittaa uuden teemasarjan, jossa käsittelemme legendaaristen tanssijoiden elämää sekä heidän vaikutustaan tanssikulttuuriin. Teemaan liittyviä jaksoja tullaan julkaisemaan säännöllisen epäsäännöllisesti muiden jaksojen lomassa. Keskiviikon kuva-arvoituksen oikeina vastauksina ja tämän päivän jakson päähenkilöinä toimivat Martha Graham sekä Alvin Ailey. He olivat yhdysvaltalaisia tanssijoita ja koreografeja, jotka vaikuttivat omalla toiminnallaan suuresti modernin tanssin kulttuuriin ja nämä vaikutukset ovat nähtävissä vielä tänäkin päivänä. Martha Graham oli aikansa kapinallinen. Yhdysvaltojen kongressi jopa tuomitsi yhden hänen tanssiteoksistaan, mutta silti hän oli ensimmäinen Valkoisessa talossa esiintynyt tanssija. Vuonna 1936 hän kieltäytyi esiintymästä Berliinin Taidefestivaaleilla, koska se olisi tarkoittanut hänelle Adolf Hitlerin hallintojärjestelmän juhlimista. Martha Graham tanssi ja opetti yli seitsemänkymmentä vuotta. Häntä on kutsuttu ”tanssin Picassoksi”, koska hänen merkitystään ja vaikutustaan moderniin tanssiin voidaan pitää samanarvoisena kuin Pablo Picasson vaikutusta modernille kuvataiteelle. Alvin Ailey ja hänen vuosikymmeniä kestänyt uransa tanssijana ja koreografina muutti modernia tanssia ja mullisti afroamerikkalaisten tanssijoiden roolin tanssitaiteessa. Hän pyrki teoksillaan heijastamaan mustien ihmisten historiaa ja tuomaan esiin heidän tarinoitaan. Alvin Ailey jätti lähtemättömän vaikutuksen modernin tanssin kentälle. Yhdistelemällä klassista ja modernia tyyliä ja käyttämällä monipuolisia tanssijoita hän toi tanssin täysin uudelle yleisölle. Ensimmäisten esitysten jälkeen vuodesta 1958 alkaen Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre on kasvanut pienestä tanssiryhmästä isoksi monikulttuuriseksi organisaatioksi, joka tunnetaan ympäri maailman.

If you're younger than 45 or so, you probably don't remember the “Battle of the Sexes.” This tennis match, between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, is one of the iconic moments in American history of the 1970s. It represented a breakthrough moment for women in sports, a symbol of the progress women were making to finally receive something like equality of opportunity and resources in athletics. For Billie Jean King, however, the match was only a small part of a life lived in the pursuit of the opportunity for access and success for herself and for women in general. As Susan Ware outlines in her outstanding new book Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports (University of North Carolina Press, 2011), King saw herself not simply as an athlete, but as an advocate for women in athletics. Throughout her career, King lent her voice and her reputation to those pushing institutions and leaders to let women play. The result was, as Ware puts it, revolutionary. Ware's book is biography at its best. It examines King's life on its own terms. But it doesn't stop there. Instead, it uses King's life as a lens through which to view the broader social and cultural conflicts that swept through American society in the 1970s and after. Anyone reading the book will have a much greater sense of why the world we live in today is so dramatically different than the one in which our parents or grandparents grew up.

If you’re younger than 45 or so, you probably don’t remember the “Battle of the Sexes.” This tennis match, between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, is one of the iconic moments in American history of the 1970s. It represented a breakthrough moment for women in sports, a symbol of the progress women were making to finally receive something like equality of opportunity and resources in athletics. For Billie Jean King, however, the match was only a small part of a life lived in the pursuit of the opportunity for access and success for herself and for women in general. As Susan Ware outlines in her outstanding new book Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women’s Sports (University of North Carolina Press, 2011), King saw herself not simply as an athlete, but as an advocate for women in athletics. Throughout her career, King lent her voice and her reputation to those pushing institutions and leaders to let women play. The result was, as Ware puts it, revolutionary. Ware’s book is biography at its best. It examines King’s life on its own terms. But it doesn’t stop there. Instead, it uses King’s life as a lens through which to view the broader social and cultural conflicts that swept through American society in the 1970s and after. Anyone reading the book will have a much greater sense of why the world we live in today is so dramatically different than the one in which our parents or grandparents grew up.
