História de uma boa feminista: trajetória intelectual de Leonor Castellano em Curitiba, 1924-1967
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2011A trajetória intelectual da funcionária pública e escritora Leonor Castellano (1899-1969) é o fio condutor deste trabalho, que procura investigar os espaços de atuação das intelectuais do sexo feminino em Curitiba (Paraná) entre as décadas de 20 e 60 do século XX. Os debates sobre os temas das identidades "brasileira" e "paranaense" são fios condutores deste trabalho e aparecem fortemente na atuação de Castellano como intelectual entre 1924 (ano em que publica seu primeiro artigo conhecido) e 1969 (ano em que encerra sua atuação). A atuação de Castellano nos círculos intelectuais curitibanos (como o Centro de Letras do Paraná e o Centro Paranaense Feminino de Cultura) é estudada de perto, bem como sua colaboração com publicações. Temas como o "feminismo", a puericultura, a ideia de identidade (nacional e estadual) e os papéis designados às mulheres são discutidos através dos textos de Castellano, sobretudo as homenagens publicadas por ela. Outras fontes utilizadas na dissertação são os relatórios e revistas publicadas pelos centros literários, além de livros de atas, de contabilidade e outros, os quais nos permitem compreender as diversas áreas de atuação de Castellano. Através da trajetória desta intelectual e de seu papel de liderança nos Centros literários de Curitiba, este trabalho procurou explorar também os espaços de atuação pública das mulheres letradas e de elite no Paraná no período estudado.The intellectual trajectory of public employee and writer Leonor Castellano (1899-1969) is the thread of this work, which aims to investigate the spaces of actuation of female intellectuals in Curitiba (Paraná) between the decades of 20 and 60 of the 20th Century. The discussions about the topics of "brazilian" and "paranaense" identities are threads of this work and appear strongly by the actions of Castellano as intellectual between 1924 (the year in which she published her first known article) and 1969 (the year she finishes her activities). The Castellano#s performance in intellectual curitibanos circles (such as the Center of Letters of Paraná and the Paranaense Female Culture Center) is studied closely, as well as its collaboration with publications. Themes such as "feminism", the child care, the idea of identity (national and state) and the roles assigned to women are discussed through the texts of Castellano, especially the tributes published by her. Other sources used in dissertation are the reports and journals published by literary centers, in addition to books of minutes, accounting and others, which allow us to understand the different areas of expertise in Castellano. Through the trajectory of this intellectual and of her leadership role in literary Centers of Curitiba, this study sought to explore also the spaces of public activity of literate and elite women in Paraná during the studied period

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
