Symposium: The 19th Amendment at 100: From the Vote to Gender Equality: Woman Suffrage: The Afterstory

The history of the US woman suffrage movement did not end with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. While numbers slowly grew of eligible women voting, veterans of the suffrage movement organized to win elective office and use the power of women\u27s votes to gain important legislative gains. This article follows both voting rates and women winning public office up to the revival of feminism in the 1960s

Distinctive serum globulin responses to parenteral treatment with 17-Β-estradiol in female NZB/NZW mice

After 6 weeks of treatment with 17-Β-estradiol, two distinct groups of female NZB/NZW mice were identified. Group I females developed significant increases in serum Α 2 , Β- and Γ-globulins and had few serologic abnormalities. Serum globulins did not increase in Group II females. This blunted response correlated with a pretreatment increase in the frequency of positive tests for ANA, LE phenomena and cryoproteins in 4-week-old Group II mice.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/37721/1/1780150107_ftp.pd

The Role of Important Non-Parental Adults (VIPs) in the Lives of Older Adolescents: A Comparison of Three Ethnic Groups

Previous research has consistently documented the importance of VIPs (mentors or important non-parental adults) in the lives of adolescents. Little is known, however, about whether VIPs play the same important roles across ethnic groups and whether VIPs remain influential when adolescents are older and involved in romantic relationships. The present study compared VIPs of 355 Hispanic, Asian, and European American older adolescents (age range = 17–19 years; M = 18.7 years; 62% female). Results indicated that, despite ethnic differences in their social capital, VIPs’ psychological characteristics (e.g., warmth and acceptance, depressive symptoms, and problem behavior) were similar. VIPs were perceived to have more positive psychological profiles than parents and peers, and in some cases, romantic partners. Moreover, with a few exceptions, the associations between VIP characteristics and adolescent adjustment (e.g., self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and problem behavior) were largely similar across ethnic groups. Finally, VIPs made unique contributions to adolescents’ self-esteem and problem behaviors even after the effects of romantic partners were considered. Implications of the findings are discussed
