This is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://journals.cambridge.org/AMSThis article charts conceptual developments in the field of history of women in the Americas over the past forty years since the author began her career. It compares women’s and gender history and the contributions of key figures such as Joan Scott, Alice Kessler-Harris, and Barbara Welter along with recent developments in the field such as the history of women in the Atlantic world. The article also proposes reasons for the separation of American women’s history into North American, Latin American, and Caribbean fields
Utilizing Online Learning of Acceptance and Commitment Training and Evaluating Corresponding Changes in Parent Stress
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an epidemic that continues to increase in prevalence. It not only effects the individuals with the diagnosis but also the family. Parental stress is higher in parents of children with disabilities, including those with ASD. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of providing a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training to parents of children diagnosed with ASD via an online platform and evaluating subsequent changes in physiological and self-report stress measures. A non-concurrent multiple baseline was used across three experimental participants and two control participants. All three experimental participants experienced a decrease in heart rate between baseline and intervention phases. At the follow-up probe, two of the three experimental participants had a heart rate lower than their original resting heart rate. Control participants, who did not receive the ACT intervention, experienced either an increase in heart rate or no change during the baseline phase when compared to their original resting heart rate. This provided evidence for the efficacy of a brief online ACT training in lowering parental stress levels
Torts
In considering a summary of the tort cases during the year, it is found among the numerous decisions, many merely restate principles which are well established and contain nothing that is novel. Other cases, however, deserve special consideration because they contain graphic statements of old doctrines; apply such doctrines to new factual situations; or announce new legal principles. These decisions only will be included in the following discussion
Helen Lansdowne Resor
Helen Landsdowne Resor is known as being the first female copywriter. She contributed to the advertising world in a way that women simply didn’t at that time. She was the first woman to successfully plan and write national advertising, rather than just retail ads. In particular, she is credited with creating a new style of feature story advertising that used illustrations and text that appealed to readers\u27 emotions. Perhaps her greatest contribution to copywriting, however, was her idea that copy must be believable.” She was also able to tie in her feminism beliefs into her creative work. She took an ad for facial soap and sexualized the copy with the phrase, “A skin you love to touch.” In addition to her creative work, Resor mentored young women wanting to advance in advertising and set up a woman editorial department in the ad agency where she worked
Equity
Although the cases decided in Equity during the survey period suggest little that is new, yet some of them contain excellent restatements of the principles and doctrines of chancery and in some instances their application to new and interesting factual situations. In a few cases new rules were formulated. Some attempt will be made to connect the conclusions reached in these cases with those found in older cases in Georgia and, in certain instances, with those reached in other jurisdictions
