The Queen of American Agriculture: A Biography of Virginia Claypool Meredith

Virginia Claypool Meredith\u27s role in directly managing the affairs of a large and prosperous farm in east-central Indiana opened doors that were often closed to women in late nineteenth century America. Her status allowed her to campaign for the education of women, in general, and rural women, in particular. While striving to change society\u27s expectations for women, she also gave voice to the important role of women in the home. A lifetime of dedication made Virginia Meredith the most remarkable woman in Indiana and the Queen of American Agriculture. Meredith was also an integral part of the history of Purdue University. She was the first woman appointed to serve on the university\u27s board of trustees, had a residence hall named in her honor, and worked with her adopted daughter, Mary L. Matthews, in creating the School of Home Economics, the predecessor of today\u27s College of Consumer and Family Sciences.https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/founders/1000/thumbnail.jp

UNM\u27s First Dean of Women: Lena C. Clauve

This biography of Lena C. Clauve (pronounced clove as in the spice) was initiated as a segment of a project suggested by Betty Kelley, a close personal friend and colleague at APS, who is interested in history and research of all types. The initial idea was to interview retired women who had been in the work world during a time when most women stayed in the home, raising children. The project was designed to research the reasons for their working outside the home, and the influences in their lives that brought it about.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/archives_documents/1003/thumbnail.jp
