In honor of women's history month - Maude Adams (1

In honor of women's history month - Maude Adams (1872-1953) was a renowned American actress & the 1st person to play Peter Pan on the Broadway stage in 1905. She played several notable male impersonator roles in her career. Ever the innovator, she modified Peter's costume to create the "peter pan collar" which became a popular fashion trend. She also advanced lighting technology for stage & film with 4 patents where she was listed as co-inventor. Maude shared two long-term relationships with women, Lillie Florence from the early 1890’s to Florence’s death in 1901, and Louise Boynton from 1905 to Boynton’s death in 1951. When Maude died in 1953, she was buried next to Boynton where they share a headstone. Go to dragkinghistory.com to read more about this prolific woman !

Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (1832-1919) American abolitionist, feminist, suffragist, prisoner of war and surgeon. She is the only woman to ever receive the Presidential Medal of Honor which she was awarded for her service during the Civil War as the 1st female US Army surgeon. She experienced great resistance in becoming a surgeon yet finally succeeded after 8 years of requests being denied. In 1916, the Medal of Honor was taken away after the government reviewed eligibility. This did not stop her from wearing her award until her death in 1919. Thankfully President Jimmy Carter restored the Medal of Honor to Mary. She wore mens clothing most of her life as she said they are more comfortable. In 1973, the Whitman-Walker Health Clinic was opened in Wash DC, part of the Washington free clinic. It was named after poet Walt Whitman & Dr Mary Walker.

These girls are from Afghanistan. Recently, we lea

These girls are from Afghanistan. Recently, we learned about bacha posh, the practice where some families without sons pick a daughter to behave and live as a boy. The term ‘bacha posh' literally means “dressed up as a boy”. It is a century old practice that still exists today, and interesting to note that no deception is involved. Teachers and family members know that the “boy” is really a girl despite short hair, boys attire, masculine mannerisms, and boyish behavior, yet there is a quiet tolerance. Without a male in the family, the females don’t have a chaperon when the father is out working. The young girls raised as bacha posh are able to walk freely in public to act as chaperons, attend school, find work, run errands, and play sports which are all unheard of for women and girls. It is quite the irony, yet a much needed practice to sustain societal customs. Once puberty hits, the bacha posh must return to their female selves to marry, bear children, and claim their place as females within their family structure. Needless to say this causes great confusion and anxiety. Activists argue that the true problem lies not in the practice itself, but women are denied rights within society. We bring up this topic as means of education and empowerment, so we may work together to end oppressive practices that bind women and girls to PMS: Patriarchy, Misogyny, Sexism.

There is a lot of terrific research being done these days. Here are 3 books that will blow your minds 🤩
1) Byzantine Intersectionality: Sexuality, Gender, And Race in the Middle Ages, by Roland Betancourt, offers a new history of gender, sexuality, and race. While the term “intersectionality” was coined in 1989, the existence of marginalized identities extends back over millennia.
2) Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography edited by Alicia Spencer-Hall and Blake Gutt, presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography (the writing of the lives of saints).
3) The Shape of Sex: Nonbinary Gender from Genesis to the Renaissance, by Leah DeVun, is a pathbreaking history of nonbinary sex, focusing on ideas and individuals who allegedly combined or crossed sex or gender categories from 200–1400 C.E. Ranging widely across premodern European thought and culture, Leah DeVun reveals how and why efforts to define “the human” so often hinged on ideas about nonbinary sex.

Soldaderas, or Adelitas, were women who participat

Soldaderas, or Adelitas, were women who participated in the Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920. They proved that women could fight, that women could be courageous, and women could be just as successful as men. The 3 main reasons for the Revolution were: 1) end of dictatorship rule, 2) stop exploitation of workers, 3) end the disparity between rich & poor. Women worked alongside men as soldiers, spies, cooks, nurses, camp followers etc. Some women wore men’s attire for protection to fight & free themselves from oppressive circumstances. In 1915, Mexican women got the right to divorce which later expanded to include right to alimony & child custody. There’s a long way to go for women’s rights in Mexico, yet we can celebrate the great strides that were made by these brave women 🇲🇽 💪🏼
