Women of Bethlehem Steel - Iva Ferris
No full textIva Ferris discusses her career as a laborer at Bethlehem Steel, where she was one of the first women to work in the Sinter Dumps and the Lehigh Valley Electrical Repair Shop. After graduating college with a degree in English in the early 1970s, Ferris struggled to find work. Both her mother and father were employed at Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, PA, and soon she applied and began to work there as well. Ferris was attracted to the job because it offered better wages and benefits than other opportunities available to women and because she had always enjoyed manual and mechanical work. As one of few women laborers at Bethlehem Steel at that time, Ferris describes her experience of harassment from male co-workers. While an apprentice in the Lehigh Valley Electrical Repair Shop, Ferris and other women were laid off despite the normal order of layoffs, which should have delayed the layoff of crafts workers and apprentices. This experience prompted Ferris and others to pursue a lawsuit against Bethlehem Steel that was eventually filed in 1978. Ferris relates that her family and friends held mixed opinions about her decision to work at Bethlehem Steel and her struggle to secure better working conditions for women. Ferris reflects upon her time at Bethlehem Steel in the context of the emerging Women’s Liberation Movement. She expresses disappointment that the fight for gender equality continues today. At the same time, she believes it is the right time to share her story with her community in Bethlehem, PA and beyond. This interview is part of a series of interviews conducted by Lehigh University and the Steelworkers’ Archives and supported by the Lehigh University Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative and the South Side Initiative. An oral history interview is an act of memory and hence both highly selective and highly subjective. While it accurately reflects what a narrator remembers (or chooses to tell) of his or her experience and viewpoints, it may not accurately represent what actually transpired or what another person may have experienced. As such users should subject interviews to the same degree of critical scrutiny they would any other historical source

Eupithecia nonanticaria Ferris, New Species
No full textEupithecia nonanticaria Ferris, New Species (Figs. 25–43) Diagnosis. This species is nearly identical in habitus to E. anticaria but is grayer with more subdued coloration and muted maculation; positive separation requires the examination of the genitalia. This species apparently replaces anticaria in the mountains of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Description. MALE (Figs. 25–26): Forewing length (base to apex): 9.5 –11.0 mm. Head and Body: Palpi length ca. 1.5 times eye width, laterally broad, dully checkered brown and whitish scales long and loosely compacted. Frons, head, thoracic collar, thorax, and tegulae with mixture of pale and darker brownish-gray scales. Antennae finely and evenly ciliate, light brown with dorsal darker patch on each segment, pedicel and scape concolorous with head. Abdominal segment I whitish basally with narrow black band along posterior margin (as in anticaria); remaining segments are medium-to-dark brown, slightly paler ventrally. Legs pale brownish-gray, not noticeably ringed, paler scales at distal ends of segments; hind-tibial spurs small and poorly developed. Wings: Ground color pale grayish-white but overlying darker scales generate an overall medium gray habitus. DFW: double areole in venation (as in anticaria); prominent oblong dark brown discal spot; narrow dark basal line; lower portion of dark-edged broad median band with ruddy suffusion; narrow pale band beyond median extending from costa to mid-wing; outer wing area dusky with patchy shading; pale crenulate subterminal line; broad segmented brown adterminal line; fringes grayish-brown with pale tips. DHW basal and median areas pale, darker toward margin; prominent dark discal spot; weak postmedian line; prominent adterminal line; fringes as in DFW. Wings paler ventrally with dorsal maculation repeated, lighter on VFW, darker on VHW. Dorsal terminal lines and fringes repeated ventrally. Genitalia (Figs. 31–36) [4 dissections]: Hair pencils well developed Fig. 32). Valve (Fig. 31) trigonate tapering to narrow rounded apex, blunt triangular projection from mid-ventral margin. Uncus short, dorsoventrally bifid with well-defined widely separated cusps; socii well-developed and typical. Aedoeagus (Fig. 33) length-to-width ratio ca. 3.5. Everted vesica hatchet shaped in lateral profile, cornuti two large mutually perpendicular spikes with “mushroom” or “umbrella” heads, and large convoluted folded-over piece. Genital plate (Fig. 36, 8 th sternite at top) similar to anticaria but more elongate. FEMALE (Figs. 27–28): Forewing length (base to apex): 9.0–11.0 mm. Color and maculation similar to male. Legs are paler than male with banding more diffuse. Antennae weakly setose, colored as in male. Genitalia (Figs. 11–13) [8 dissections]: Papillae anales moderately long, oval, diffuse long setae; apophyses slen- der, anterior-to-posterior ratio ca. 0.5; caudal spurs weak and embedded in genital plate. Ostium bursae weakly sclerotized, cup-like, very short membranous ductus bursae above open moderately broad colliculum. Corpus bursae globular (Figs. 37–40) with two lightly chitinized flange-like projections (Figs. 42–43) just below and on either side of colliculum base (when compressed, as on a slide, they generate a shoulder-like hump on the side opposite to the ductus seminalis); upper portion lightly chitinized without spines; the relatively narrow tubular ductus seminalis projects outward from the right ventral side of the corpus bursae, then curves downward crossing ventrad as it tapers sharply; remainder of corpus bursae densely spined, patch of long robust spines originating at ventral middle of upper border curving to the left and dorsad (Figs. 42–43). Based on the material examined, other than wing length, there appears to be little variation in this species.

The adjectival prefix “ non “ is added to the name anticaria to denote similarity of the two species. Biology. Unknown; found in mixed coniferous–deciduous forest above 1760 m (Figs. 59–61). Flight period. Late July to mid-August. Distribution. Grant County, New Mexico (Pinos Altos Mts.; Black Range) and Cochise County, Arizona (Chiricahua Mts.); Chihuahua, Mexico. Discussion. Based on habitus, presence of the double areole in the DFW venation, and male genitalic characters, E. nonanticaria is affiliated with the mutata group (sensu Bolte, 1990).Published as part of Ferris, Clifford D., 2007, Three new species of Eupithecia Curtis from Arizona and New Mexico with discussion of associated species (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Eupitheciini), pp. 49-60 in Zootaxa 1516 on pages 54-57, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27382
