The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace offers a variety of possibilities to an intern in women’s studies to bring together diverse fields and influences.
Possible directions of work include:
- Research on the Anthony sisters- Susan was not alone in her work. What political involvement did her sisters’ take and how did their family lives feature in Susan’s vision & work?
- Suffrage and anti-suffrage in MA- how did these organizations relate to the national campaigns on woman suffrage? What can be discerned regarding the social faction behind each party?
- Beyond the Quakers, what religious movements influenced Miss Anthony’s work, and what effect did these groups have?
- What role does Miss Anthony’s work have in the modern women’s rights movement, and how do women today integrate or move beyond that work and message?
- What sources can be found that contradict or expand upon suffrage opposition to abortion?
- The split between the National Woman Suffrage Association & the American Woman Suffrage Association is the most prominent break in the women’s rights movement- what can be learned from this split? Create an article or otherwise bring this to the public
These lists are a sampling of possible projects; it is our hope to make these internships an active partnership, integrating these plans with the particular skills and interests of our applicants. Interdisciplinary ideas and new avenues of exploration are welcome for consideration.
