Warren G. Harding letter to Mary E. Lee, January 20, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 20, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Mary E. Lee of Westerville, Ohio, in response to her letter of January 12. Harding thanks Lee, a friend and former colleague in the newspaper business, for her support of his presidential campaign, but tells her she need not make a financial contribution. On the topic of Harding supporters disapproving of his campaign manager Harry M. Daugherty, Harding stands by his partnership with Daugherty and hopes that his friends will not let this dampen their support.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
Warren G. Harding letter to Mary E. Lee, April 11, 1920
No full textDated April 11, 1920, this is a letter from Senator Warren G. Harding to Mary E. Lee of Westerville, Ohio, in response to her letter of April 6. Harding writes that he is not concerned about the Anti-Saloon League leading any activities that might harm his presidential campaign. The Anti-Saloon League was a national leader in the Prohibition movement, and its headquarters were in Westerville, Ohio. The American Issue Publishing Company, the publishing arm of the Anti-Saloon League, was also located in Westerville. Although Harding believed alcohol should be consumed responsibly, he opposed the passage of a Prohibition amendment, which resulted in the League strongly opposing his candidacy.

Mary E. Lee letter to Warren G. Harding, April 6, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated April 6, 1920, Mary E. Lee from the Glen-Lee Place florist in Westerville, Ohio, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding regarding anti-Harding sentiment in Ohio among the Anti-Saloon League and other prohibition supporters. Lee reports that Ernest Cherring of the League plans to issue a statement against Harding in response to a speech he gave in the Senate against enacting prohibition into constitutional law. Despite Lee's best efforts to dissuade him, Cherring plans to distribute his statement to newspapers across the country, even though Harding was not a "wet" supporter. Lee mentions local political leaders Mr. Stoughton and Hanby Jones, and references Harding's upcoming visit, which she believes will be beneficial for securing votes in the area.

Supporting Legal Capacity in Socio-Legal Context (Ed. Mary Donnelly, Rosie Harding and Ezgi Tascioglu)
No full textThis collection brings together leading international socio-legal and medico-legal scholars to explore the dilemma of how to support legal capacity in theory and practice. Traditionally, decisions for persons found to lack capacity are made by others, generally without reference to the person, and this applies especially to those with cognitive and psycho-social disabilities. This book examines the difficulties in establishing effective and deliverable supported decision-making, concluding that approaches to capacity need to be informed by a grounded understanding of how it operates in 'real life' contexts

Women's life writing 1760-1830 : spiritual selves, sexual characters, and revolutionary subjects
No full textPhDThis thesis uses print and manuscript sources to analyse and interpret women's life
writing at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. I
explore printed works by Catharine Phillips, Mary Dudley, Priscilla Hannah Gurney,
Ann Freeman, Elizabeth Steele, Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Grace Dalrymple Elliott, and Charlotte West and discuss the
manuscripts of Mary Fletcher, Mary Tooth, Sarah Ryan, and Elizabeth Fox. Of these
sources, five have never been analysed in the critical literature and six have received
little attention. Considered as a group, this large corpus of texts offers new insights
into the personal and political implications of different models of female selfhood and
social being.
In chapter one, I compare the religious identities presented in the spiritual
autobiographies of Quakers and Methodists. For these women, religious identification
provides a powerful sense of social belonging and enables public participation.
However, it may also lead to a loss of self in the demand for religious conformity and
self-abnegation. In chapter two, I consider the life writing of late eighteenth-century
courtesans. These women adapt available models of femininity and female authorship
in order to establish themselves as socially connected subjects. However, their
narratives also reveal that dependence on the sexual and literary marketplace puts
female selfhood under pressure. In chapter three, I explore the eyewitness accounts of
British women in the French Revolution. I argue that, for these writers, connecting
personal identity to political history is an enabling source of self-definition but it also
exposes them to the risks of self-fragmentation.
In my focus on the social function of women's life writing, I present an alternative to
the traditional alignment of the eighteenth-century autobiographical subject with the
autonomous self of individualism. These narratives allow us to reconsider the
productive and problematic dialectic between personal expression and representative
selfhood, self-authorship and collective narratives, and individualism and social
being. They suggest that women's life writing has the potential to be both the self-expression
of a unique heroine and the self-inscription of a politicised subject
