Dr. Helen Tierney’s Women’s Studies Encyclopedia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since 2015 marks the 95th<\/sup> anniversary of the ratification of the 19th<\/sup> Amendment to the Constitution, I have been examining the topic of extending the right to vote to women.\u00a0 While investigating the regional perspective, I recalled the work of Helen Tierney, professor emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin (UW).\u00a0 A women\u2019s studies scholar, she helped establish the program at UW-Platteville as the discipline grew out of the resurgence of the women\u2019s movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s.<\/p>\n

Scholarship was scarce \u201cin the brand-new world of women\u2019s studies\u201d and what was available on \u201cthe other half of humanity\u201d was scattered in various academic fields, Dr. Tierney observed.\u00a0 Thus she decided to publish the Women\u2019s Studies Encyclopedia to meet the needs for an authoritative reference.\u00a0 When the title appeared in 1989, the Library Journal called the first edition a \u201cbest reference book,\u201d adding that it \u201cwas a landmark achievement providing concise definitions and historical context for students and scholars alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon retiring from academia in the mid-1990s as the dean of the history department, Dr.\u00a0Tierney returned home to the Newark area.\u00a0 After a period, she started volunteering at the Historical Society of Cecil County about the time we reactivated the Society\u2019s newsletter to provide members with a value added product.\u00a0 Dr. Tierney took on the task of managing our serial publication since we didn\u2019t have an assigned editor and for a number of years she carefully produced a quarterly, bringing high quality, original articles to readers.<\/p>\n

During her retirement she also decided to update and expand the Encyclopedia since research on women had proceeded rapidly, feminist thought had grown and branched out, and conditions for women had \u201cchanged markedly in some area of life, for good and for ill, and little in others.\u201d\u00a0 While editing submissions, the professor added new entries to the expanding body of knowledge, and she was interested in how the women\u2019s suffrage movement had evolved in Maryland and Delaware.<\/p>\n

I recall Helen studying those old Delmarva newspapers to see what elusive leads could be uncovered.\u00a0 It can be challenging to find evidence of emerging social movements and civil disobedience that are centered outside the regional norms in local weeklies.\u00a0 Of course, the highly respected academic with a doctoral degree in ancient Greek history from the University of Chicago was fully aware of the limitations of her sources.\u00a0 But, research requires a careful study to validate or rule out the availability of traces to the past, and I remember those long ago conversations as she unearthed elusive pieces of surviving evidence.<\/p>\n

Helen died October 31, 1997, just days after she penned the introduction to the new volume, but her colleagues, family and publisher arranged for the second edition, a three volume work, to be brought to term<\/a>.\u00a0 The family donated Dr. Tierney\u2019s papers to the Historical Society of Cecil County, so as my research interest turned to this civil disobedience movement, I recently examined her field notes to follow her line of investigation on the regional perspective. The data is scarce as anyone working with social movements in rural areas will recognize, but the surviving materials from Dr. Tierney\u2019s labors nearly twenty years ago gave me the perspective of the nationally recognized scholar on this untapped regional subject.\u00a0 She would be pleased to see that her scholarship is tapped for regional studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
