Researching today- from the 1870 census in Ellsworth, KS. The occupants of this “house of ill fame” owned by George Palmer have some colorful occupations. Libby “diddles”, Harriet “does horizontal work”, Ettie “squirms in the dark”, and Lizzie “ogles fools”. 😂 it appears that census enumerator had a sense of humor. Ettie (Nettie) Baldwin came to Hays the next year, and is one of the subjects I‘m researching on early Hays prostitution. #historian

ValerieAndBooks Wonder if the census worker was also a customer 😂 5y

Hollie @ValerieAndBooks 🤔 maybe they were! 😂 5y

Soiled Doves: Prostitution in the Early West | Anne Seagraves

Diving in to some fun research! I spent the afternoon sifting though primary documents at the historical society and I‘m looking forward to these this evening. #research #professorsoflitsy #historian

Erinsuereads Soiled doves is one of my favorites! (edited) 6y

tpixie Fun research! Good luck! It‘s great when you can combine work with reading 📖 📚 👩‍🏫 (edited) 6y

Hollie @tpixie going back for more books today and more research looking into the brothels at Old Fort Hays! 6y

tpixie @Hollie awesome! I find it interesting that that‘s about the only job women could have back then - to be independent 6y

Fascism: A Warning | Madeleine Albright

These are your so called “snowflakes” ladies and gentlemen. These are the people who saved democracy so that you can pull this BS today, and these are the people who will save you from your BS now.

Fascism: A Warning | Madeleine Albright

“The Germans were immensely powerful, but as the Chancellor was beginning to discover, so is the will to resist.”

Lcsmcat I‘m glad you‘re posting these quotes. I‘m at about the same point in the book, but listoto it means I don‘t post the quotes that jump out at me for fear of mid-quoting. It‘s an astounding look at the 20th century, isn‘t it? 6y

GingerAntics @Lcsmcat it really is. Yeah, if I quote from audiobooks I end up going back over the quote 3 or 4 times to make sure I‘ve gotten it right. You can‘t do that while driving. lol 6y

GingerAntics @Texreader I feel like someone could write a book about life right now and quote this and it wouldn‘t be out of place. 6y

Night | Elie Wiesel

From the Introduction of This Edition
I read a different translation in high school, so I‘m excited to dive into this one. This book is also one of the experiences that made me want to be a historian - a gate keeper (distributor? Mountain top shouter?) of the things that should never be erased from human history. #eliewiesel #night #history #historian #femalehistorians #bannedbook #bannedbooksweek #bannedbooksweek2018 #intellectualfreedom
