Get PDFThis is a study on American fiction and mental health. The project discusses the short stories The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, Careful, and Where I\u27m Calling From by Raymond Carver, and the novels One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u27s Nest by Ken Kesey, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut.

The Women’s Committee of the Council of National Defense in Maryland, 1917-1918
Get PDFDuring World War I, the United States created the Women’s Committee of the Council of National Defense to organize and coordinate women’s war work. The Women’s Committee had a federalist structure of national, state, and local committees to organize the different levels of women’s societies in the country. This paper uses the Maryland Section of the Women’s Committee as a case study to argue how how the centralized organization of the Women’s Committee and its flexibility with the local committees led to more productive efforts at mobilizing women. It will expand on the formation and organization of the Maryland Women’s Section, its statewide and county war work, and how the Maryland Women’s Section compares to nationwide trends of women’s war work. The women of the Maryland Division, as well as the Women\u27s Committee, operated within the confines of the traditional gendered framework, using the familiar structure of clubs and the focus on “women’s” work to organize their communities. The Women\u27s Committee allowed American women to enter the political arena while they continued to be denied suffrage and formal governmental influence
