♀️ Feminist Friday ♀️ Mabel Ping-Hua Lee In a 1912 New Yor..
♀️ Feminist Friday ♀️ Mabel Ping-Hua Lee In a 1912 New York Times article, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee was regarded as “the symbol of the new era, when all women will be free and unhampered.”[1] At the time, sixtee n year old Lee was already a recognized suffragist and activist that would help to lead almost 10,000 people in the New York suffrage parade. Lee went on to become the first Chinese woman to get a PhD in economics. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee was born on October 7, 1897 in Guangzhou (Canton City), China. Her father, Dr. Lee Towe, was a missionary pastor and he moved to the United States when she was four years old. Lee stayed in China with her mother and grandmother, and she studied Chinese from private tutors. When Lee was nine years old, she won an academic scholarship called the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship that allowed her to relocate to the United States to attend school. The Lee family moved in 1905 to Chinatown in New York City, and Mabel Lee attended Erasmus Hall Academy in Brooklyn, New York. Lee became involved in activism and women’s rights very early on. By the time she was sixte en years old, Lee helped to lead a suffrage parade on horseback in New York City. Held on May 4, 1912, the parade started in New York’s historic Greenwich Village and was attended by almost ten thousand people. Prior to the parade, the New York Tribune and New York Times wrote articles featuring Lee’s teenage activism and her involvement in the movement. Ironically, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act prevented Chinese immigrants from attaining citizenship and voting. Even when the 19th amendment was passed, Chinese women and many other women of color still did not have the ability to vote. However, Lee still strongly advocated for suffrage for women. In addition to her activism for women’s rights, Lee was also a brilliant student. While in school, she excelled in English, Latin, and mathematics. At sixte en years old she was admitted to Barnard College, the women’s college connected to the all-male Columbia University. Lee majored in history and philosophy and joined the Chinese Students’ Association. She continued her activism by writing feminist essays for The Chinese Students’ Monthly. She wrote an essay in 1914 entitled “The Meaning of Woman Suffrage,” that emphasized the importance of extending voting rights and equal opportunities to women. Two years later, Lee gave a speech at the Women’s Political Union’s Suffrage Shop entitled “The Submerged Half.” In this speech, Lee encouraged the education and civic participation of Chinese women of all ages. By 1917, women in the state of New York were granted the right to vote. Three years later, the 19th Amendment was passed that gave women the right to vote across the country. However, Lee and many other women of color still could not vote. It would take another almost twenty-five years for Lee to be granted the right to vote with the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943. However, she continued to advocate for women’s suffrage and equal rights. Lee graduated from Barnard College and went on to receive her master’s degree in educational administration from Columbia Teacher’s College. She decided to continue her studies and attended Columbia University to pursue a PhD in economics. While in graduate school, Lee studied under well-known economic professors including; Edwin R. A. Seligman, Henry R. Seager, Henry L. Moore, Vladimir G. Simkhovitch, Wesley C. Mitchell, and Robert E. Chaddock. She graduated in 1921 and became the first Chinese woman to graduate with a PhD in economics. That year, Lee published her PhD research as a book entitled The Economic History of China. Unfortunately, Lee’s father passed away in 1924, a few years after her graduation. After her father’s death, Lee took over his role as director of the First Chinese Baptist Church of New York City. She also opened a community center called the Chinese Christian Center. This center was designed to empower the Chinese community by offering a health clinic, a kindergarten, vocational training, and English classes. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee died in 1966 at the age of 70. It is unknown if Lee ever attained United States citizenship and exercised her right to vote, but her activism ensured many other women had the ability to do so.

"Anally trained & humiliated on Mistress' Break" PT 2 OF 2 ..
"Anally trained & humiliated on Mistress' Break" PT 2 OF 2 It's time for Mistress to have a break from overseeing her collared slaves chores, but to ensure the time isn't squandered, Mistress Serena chains her slave up inside a cage hooked up to a fucking machine whilst she rests so that the slave's boy pussy can continue its training. With the remote control to the machine in hand, Mistress relaxes with a cup of tea and her tablet so she can do some reading and put her feet up. Remembering she has people to catch up with, Mistress makes two familial video calls and one to her best friend to humiliate the slave over his half an hour shared break. His reward is a nice freshly prepared bowl of water nectar.

♀️ Feminist Friday ♀️ Florence Lawrence As one of the first motion picture stars, Florence Lawrence was known as “The Biograph Girl.” Throughout her career she appeared in almost 300 films and became one of the first women to lead a US film studio. She was also an inventor and was credited as the inventor of the turn signal and the brake signal for automobiles. Florence Lawrence was born as Florence Annie Bridgwood on January 2, 1886. The youngest of three children, she was born in Hamilton, a port city of Ontario, Canada. Her mother, Charlotte Bridgwood, was a theater actress that went by the stage name Lotta Lawrence. She was also the manager and main actress of the Lawrence Dramatic Company. As a result of her mother’s career, Florence Lawrence grew up frequently touring with the theater company. When Lawrence was twenty-one years old, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and began her career as an actress. Her first role was in a short film called Daniel Boone/Pioneer Days in America produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company. Both Lawrence and her mother were featured in this film. They both went on to star in another film produced by The Vitagraph Company of America called The Shaughraun, an Irish Romance. After this film, her mother went back to performing in live productions, while Lawrence continued to act in films. She worked on films with The Vitagraph Company of America’s cofounder J. Stuart Blackton and director Charles Kent. In 1908, Lawrence began acting in films directed by D.W. Griffith at the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. She appeared in almost all of the sixty films directed by Griffith that year. As she became more popular, Lawrence was able to ask for weekly wages and better benefits as an actress. She also was able to demand twice the normal salary and her own makeup table. However, because actors were typically required to remain anonymous, Lawrence became famous as “the Biograph girl.” During this time, Lawrence met fellow actor Harry Solter, and worked with him on a film called The Girl and the Outlaw. Lawrence and Solter got married later that year. Unfortunately, they were both fired from the Biograph Company in 1910. Soon after, they were hired by producer Carl Laemmle to work for his new studio called the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP). While working for this company, Lawrence participated in a publicity stunt where her “death” in a car accident was announced by IMP. Lawrence reemerged on March 25, 1910 in St. Louis, Missouri for a publicity tour. She made about fifty films with IMP during that year. The following year, Lawrence joined the Philadelphia Lubin Company, and took her husband with her. However, the couple did not stay with the company long. In 1912, they started their own film studio called the Victor Company in Fort Lee, New Jersey. With Lawrence as one of the owners, the Victor Company was one of the first US film companies to be led by a woman. After signing a deal with Laemmle’s Universal Film Manufacturing Company to distribute their films, the Victor Company began to produce more movies. That same year, Lawrence and Solter separated and Solter moved to Europe. After writing her many letters, Lawrence reunited with Solter by the end of 1912. Unfortunately, their company was still having trouble with distribution and they had not made any profits. After a short break from their company, Lawrence returned to producing films with not much success. The company was later absorbed by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company. In 1916, Lawrence and Solter filed for divorce. After trying to start a film company of her own, Lawrence returned to acting roles. Unfortunately, it was harder for her to get hired as an actress. During this time she married her second husband, automobile salesman Charles B. Woodring. Lawrence was a skilled businesswoman and used her talents to open a cosmetic store called Hollywood Cosmetics that featured her own line of makeup. She also became the president of her mother’s company, Bridgwood Manufacturing. Both mother and daughter were also brilliant inventors. Her mother invented a patent for a type of windshield wiper in 1917, while Lawrence invented the first car turn signal, or “auto-signaling arm,” and the brake signal for automobiles. However, Lawrence did not patent her inventions and did not receive any profits from her work. In 1931, Lawrence and Woodring filed for divorce, and Lawrence married Henry Bolton the next year. Their marriage only lasted five months because Bolton frequently abused Lawrence. On December 27, 1938, Florence Lawrence was found dead in her apartment. She committed suic ide by eating ant poison. Her funeral was held on December 30, 1938 and was paid for by the Motion Picture & Television Fund. She is buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

♀️ Feminist Friday ♀️ Winona DeLuke Winona LaDuke, a Nativ..
♀️ Feminist Friday ♀️ Winona DeLuke Winona LaDuke, a Native American activist, economist, and author, has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She combines economic and environmental approaches in her efforts to create a thriving and sustainable community for her own White Earth reservation and Indigenous populations across the country. Winona LaDuke was born in Los Angeles, California on August 18, 1959 to parents Vincent and Betty (Bernstein) LaDuke. Her father, also known as Sun Bear, was Anishinaabe (or Ojibwe) from the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. He was an actor, writer, and activist. Her mother was an artist and activist. LaDuke is an Anishinaabekwe (Ojibwe) enrolled member of the Mississippi Band Anishinaabeg. Her father brought her to powwows and other tribal functions, events that made a deep impression on the youn g LaDuke. LaDuke’s parents divorced when she was five and she moved with her mother, who was of Russian Jewish descent, to Ashland, Oregon. LaDuke visited White Earth frequently and, at her mother’s encouragement, spent summers living in Native communities in order to strengthen her connection with her heritage. LaDuke attended Harvard University and graduated in 1982 with a degree in rural economic development. While at Harvard, LaDuke’s interest in Native issues grew. She spent a summer working on a campaign to stop uranium mining on Navajo land in Nevada, and testified before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland about the exploitation of Indian lands. After Harvard, LaDuke took a position as principal of the reservation high school at the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in Minnesota. She soon became involved in a lawsuit filed by the Anishinaabeg people to recover lands promised to them by an 1867 federal treaty. At the time of the treaty, the White Earth Reservation included 837,000 acres, but government policies allowed lumber companies and other non-Native groups to take over more than 90 percent of the land by 1934. After four years of litigation, however, the lawsuit was dismissed. The lawsuit’s failure motivated LaDuke’s ensuing efforts to protect Native lands. In 1985, she helped establish and co-chaired the Indigenous Women’s Network (IWN), a coalition of 400 Native women activists and groups dedicated to bolstering the visibility of Native women and empowering them to take active roles in tribal politics and culture. The coalition strives both to preserve Indigenous religious and cultural practices and to recover Indigenous lands and conserve their natural resources. In 1989, LaDuke completed a master’s degree in community economic development at Antioch University. That same year, she founded the White Earth Land Recovery Project (WELRP), using funds the Reebok Foundation awarded her for her human rights work. WELRP is an organization that seeks to buy back reservation land previously purchased by non-Native people to foster sustainable development and provide economic opportunity for the Native population. It is now one of the largest reservation-based nonprofits in the country. WELRP’s sustainable development initiatives include renewable energy efforts, indigenous farming and local food systems, and improved sanitation measures. They use the land they buy to generate wind energy; they have helped protect the local wild rice crop from patenting and genetic engineering; they encourage the consumption of traditional foods to combat rising rates of Type 2 diabetes in the community; and they run a dia per service that saves money and alleviates waste from disposable dia pers. The organization raises money through the sale of traditional crafts, jewelry, and food to fund these programs. Though busy with the WELRP, LaDuke continued her advocacy work with the Indigenous Women’s Network. In the early 1990s, LaDuke arranged a national concert series with the musical group Indigo Girls to raise awareness among you ng people about Native issues. In 1993, LaDuke and the Indigo Girls co-founded Honor the Earth, an advocacy and fundraising group that works on behalf of Native environmental organizations. Honor the Earth has granted over two million dollars to more than 200 Native American communities since its founding. In 1996 and 2000, LaDuke served as Ralph Nader’s running mate on the Green Party presidential ticket. The Green Party describes itself as an independent party that emphasizes grassroots democracy and the ecological health of the planet. LaDuke’s ticket won 0.7 percent of the vote in 1996 and 2.7 percent in 2000. LaDuke returned to electoral politics in 2016 when she ran for chair of the White Earth tribal council, though her bid was unsuccessful. LaDuke has received many honors for advocacy work. In 1994, Time magazine named her one of the Fifty Leaders for the Future. In 1998, Ms. Magazine named her one of their Women of the Year. In 2015, she received an honorary doctorate from Minnesota’s Augsburg College and in 2017, LaDuke won the University of California’s Alice and Clifford Spendlove Prize in Social Justice, Diplomacy and Tolerance. LaDuke has authored and co-authored numerous books concerning issues facing the Native American community. Her work Native Struggles for Land and Life (1999, reprinted 2016), for instance, tells of Native resistance to cultural and environmental threats. LaDuke stepped down as the executive director of the White Earth Land Recovery Project in 2014, but continues to fight for Native Americans’ environmental interests. She was a leader at the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests that sought to protect water access and sacred Indigenous lands in North Dakota. Today, the mother of six grown children (three biological and three adopted) devotes much of her time to farming. Located on the White Earth reservation, her farm grows heritage vegetables and hemp. LaDuke tries to publicize hemp’s environmental advantages: it requires less water to grow than cotton; can replace petroleum-based synthetics in clothing and other products; and absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, rather than releasing it. Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm is her latest endeavor; a farm and nonprofit agency, its mission is to create an Indigenous women-led economy based on local food, energy, and fiber, that is kind to the Earth
