Description
An account of the resource
Albany NY is very cold in winter. So when women came from all over the state in February 1854 for the second NY Women’s Rights Convention, it was freezing. @<a href="https://twitter.com/albanymuskrat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AlbanyMuskrat</a> evokes the scene: <br /><br />“We can imagine scores of women trudging up the hill to the old Capitol building in pouring rain and icy mud, some in heavy crinolines, shawls and bonnets, others in the new 'Reform' dress or 'Turkish Costume,' loose trousers under a skirt... Newspapers described convention attendees as 'grannies, old maids and young Bloomers.'" <br /><br />Hang on - let’s pause on Albany history and talk about the clothes. It’s hard today to imagine how suffocating the clothing was. When “Bloomers” were publicized in the 1850’s, they weren’t about a preference for pants - they were about being able to breathe. <br /><br />Here’s how a woman got dressed in the 19th century: <br />1. First she put on stockings, gartered tight above the knee. <br />2. Then she buttoned up her high-heeled shoes, because once she put on her corset and skirts she couldn’t bend over. <br />3. Then she put on drawers: cotton pants to the knee or below that buttoned at the waist, and a light cotton slip called a chemise. <br />4. The corset went over that. Made of whale bones, and tied tight in the back. The tighter they were tied, the less you could breathe. Wearing one every day smushed your organs. Wearing one while pregnant meant you couldn’t breathe from the inside or the outside. <br />5. Then she put on a cage crinoline - a frame that really looked like a cage - or a bustle, a contraption made of coils that was tied around the waist and hung in back to give skirts their shape. Then a petticoat on top. <br />The cage was reportedly an improvement! It saved layers of petticoats, though it was prone to flipping up in the wind like an umbrella. <br /><br />6. Last, the dress, which cd have its own layer of bone in the bodice & a heavy skirt. The skirt attached to the bustle with string or elastic. <br /><br />The whole thing weighed about 15 lbs on average - the fancier, the heavier. All of that weight hung from your torso. Despite the yards of fabric, you were cold: the underwear was too light, and your legs were bare. The long skirts dragged on the ground, sweeping up dirt & shit. <br /><br />Between the weight, the lung compression, and the awkward balance of the whole get-up, it was hard to do anything at all. Walking up or down stairs was difficult, running impossible. Imagine projecting your voice to a packed hall when you can’t take a deep breath. <br /><br />Thanks to Marlise Schoeny at <a href="https://costume.osu.edu/">costume.osu.edu </a>for the most detailed explanation I’ve found of what it felt like to wear these clothes.

19th century slut-shaming
Description
An account of the resource
Bloomers weren't invented by Amelia Bloomer - she heard about them from a woman who saw them in Europe. They were huge! Parachute pants under a knee-length skirt. But the floor-length, corseted dress "respectable" women otherwise wore made it hard to breathe and hard to move. 1/2
Mid-19th century slut-shaming: the radical women of Western NY briefly embraced dress reform as a cause & bloomers were the rage. But the gawking from men was so intense that suffragists concluded the costume distracted from their message, and most dropped it. #PlusCaChange 2/2

Description
An account of the resource
PART II. In 1865 Pres. Andrew Johnson awarded Dr. Mary Walker the Medal of Honor. Dr. Walker wore the medal pinned to her suit coat every day for the rest of her life. In 1917, her medal was rescinded along w/those of 911 men, for want of direct combat. <br /><br />She wrote a letter of protest, and simply continued to wear the medal until her death in 1919. Pres. Jimmy Carter reinstated the honor in 1977, thanks to feminist protest. <br /><br />Dr. Walker is still the only woman ever to receive it. <br /><br />Dr. Walker lived a long life, in Washington, Oswego & Albany. <br /><br />She continued to practice medicine and activism. She campaigned for pensions for Civil War nurses and other women who had served, and never stopped urging women to give up corsets & petticoats. <br /><br />She was close to Belva Lockwood, landmark lawyer and presidential candidate; they worked for suffrage thru the 1870s. Walker’s contributions to the movement were all but erased from the record by Stanton & Anthony, who were threatened by her & uncomfortable w/her gender-bending. <br /><br />Was Dr. Walker trans? Genderqueer? A butch? Or just a sensible woman trying to do her job in appropriate clothing? There needn't be only one answer. Gender expression isn't static across one's life. I’ve used the pronoun “she” in these posts b/c Walker did - but with discomfort. <br /><br />In early years she doesn’t try to pass, doesn’t call herself M. Edwards Walker or M.E. In lectures and in writing she regularly describes herself as a woman - a woman willing to challenge convention, and frustrated at how lonely that was. <br /><br />She was arrested repeatedly for her clothing, in New York City & Baltimore. <br /><br />Charged w/disorderly conduct & disturbing the peace, in 1866 she points out to the court that she’s been received by President Lincoln & Justice Salmon P. Chase wearing these clothes. <br /><br />But that’s in 1866, when she was still wearing long hair and women’s collars. <br /><br />Look at what Dr. Walker is wearing <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/omeka-net/53651/archive/files/eecb0518a277a1631beb2ed0c41fcd64.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI3ATG3OSQLO5HGKA&Expires=1596067200&Signature=h4WBF5Lj3wog1SLoOlbIecPladE%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. THIS is the kind of outfit that led to arrests. This is how little women could reject gender norms. <br /><br />By the 1870s, Walker cut her hair short and wore unambiguously male clothing for the rest of her life. She sat for photos and had portraits painted in those years - in top hat & dinner jacket, Dr. Walker wanted to be seen clearly for who she was. <br /><br />For queer people, Walker’s portraits offer a jolt of recognition. While she had flirty correspondences with men and women, her biographer says there’s no evidence of any relationship after her brief marriage. But she made an indp & defiantly gender-bending life in the 19th cent. <br /><br />Walker proudly wore pants, ties, and short hair - and wasn’t afraid to say you should too. She wasn’t trying to blend in or disappear - though she could have; plenty of transmen did, and I admire that too. Instead, she stood out and spoke out. <br /><br />That’s what makes her so admirable and so unique to me. She modeled professional excellence in everything she did, and demanded that other women interrogate the prison of convention they lived in. <br /><br />There are at least two children’s books about Dr. Walker: Mary Walker Wears the Pants and Mary Wears What She Wants. <br /><br />But the most fitting tribute hides in plain sight: @<a href="https://twitter.com/whitmanwalker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WhitmanWalker</a>, which has been serving the health and well-being of LGBTQ Washington for 42 years. <br /><br />I’m grateful to @<a href="https://twitter.com/UConn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">uconn</a> prof Sharon Harris’ terrific biography, Dr. Mary Walker: An American Radical, 1832-1919, which is available digitally; to Charlotte @<a href="https://twitter.com/cmclymer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cmclymer</a> for getting the word out; to @<a href="https://twitter.com/albanymuskrat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AlbanyMuskrat</a> & to @<a href="https://twitter.com/VesuviaAdelia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VesuviaAdelia</a> for the perfect ending. #Suffrage100
