✓ Please check with a WikiFacilitator before starting new pages

Themes and Events

edit
No page exists only Reynolds v. United States or Polygamy, neither mention the drive for a constitutional amendment. The drive mostly came during Utah’s bid for statehood. There was also a push at the time for the federal government to regulate marriage and divorce (because of the fear of polygamy from Utah).
Thelma Bowe, et al, vs. Colgate Palmolive Company Hiring rules involving weight-lifting ability, when solely applied to female applicants, are unconstitutional.

Women and Wars; Women in the Military

edit
 
 

There is no article for Women in the Civil War. There is a category for it but no collective article. There is also no mention about women or nurses on the main page

 

There are no articles about either subject or mention on the main page. There is an article about the Spanish–American War Nurses Memorial and Anita Newcomb McGee In the memorial article there is a section about nurses in the War; that can be made into its own page

Juliette Gordon Low was a nurse during the war but her page does not say that - HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton /Girl Scouts 85th Anniversary 5/21/97]

Women in Government and Politics

Judith Anne Bensiger - her husband is Peter B. Bensinger so once we have a page for her we need to add to his page as well

Women in STEM
