Three interrelated themes dominate Muriel Wright’s correspondence in her papers at the Oklahoma Historical Society: her family ties, especially her father’s Choctaw lineage; her work in and promotion of Indian history, especially the Five Civilized Tribes; and her participation in Indian affairs, especially those of the Choctaw Nation. The long-term interaction among those themes was mutually reinforcing. Her commitment to the Wright family’s Choctaw lineage sustained her commitment to the history of Indian people and to Indian affairs in Oklahoma, while her work as a historian and her involvement in Indian affairs invigorated her family ties. To facilitate research in her papers, we have divided them into twelve categories, identified by the following keywords: biography; family; biography and Indian history; Indian history; biography and Indian affairs; Indian affairs and Indian history; Indian affairs; and the following keywords related to her publications: Chronicles of Oklahoma; Spring Place; Guide to Indian Tribes in Oklahoma; Our Oklahoma. This document is identified by the keywords: Indian History.

In this 8-page essay, Frances Hawks Cameron Burnett detailed the historical, aesthetic, and symbolic meanings of Japanese poetry. “Thoroughfare of Clouds”, or Kumo no kayoiji, which she used as the title of her book published in 1928, was a road that metaphysically connected the past and the present by means of poetry. Japanese poetry passing through the road was in particular an expression of empathetic love of nature and loyalty for the Imperial Court. She walked along the road as a sojourner with respect and passion for the poetry.

Report presented by Senora Agnes Chagas, Observer from the Pan American Health Organization: Opportunity of Collaboration of the Latin American woman in health programs
This report is part of a series of documents from the thirteenth assembly of the Inter-American Commission of Women (Comisión Interamericana de Mujeres (CIM)). The topic of the thirteenth conference was women’s civil and political rights in the Americas. All the documents from this conference focus on various aspects of this topic from women’s suffrage to women’s education.
This report by Agnes Chagas of the Pan American Health Organization stressed the need for Latin American women to participate in health programs such as prenatal care and periodic exams. Chagas argued that although women had always been involved in promoting the social welfare of countries, they now needed to take on more permanent roles in their countries as nurses. The nursing profession, according to Chagas, should be recognized as an important and necessary profession for women.

Description: Manuscripts of invitations for a big public meeting organized in Bucharest, on March 6, 1938 by the Romanian women’s organizations under Alexandrina Cantacuzino’s leadership or influence to celebrate the achievement of full political suffrage for certain categories of women. In 1938 when, a political regime of royal dictatorship, the new Constitution issued by the king Carol II included a restrictive version of women’s suffrage - women over 30 had the right to vote for the Deputies Chamber, and women over 40 could vote and be elected in the Senate Chamber. This is the occasion on which these invitations were issued for a public meeting in which the achievement of partial political rights for women had to be celebrated. Keywords: Alexandrina Cantacuzino, political rights, suffrage
