Barbara Corrado Pope,professor emerita,(born 1941) [1] is a novelist,historian,a former director of Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon,and the founding director of Women's and Gender Studies at Oregon. [2]
A native of Cleveland,Ohio,Pope earned a Ph.D. in the Social and Intellectual History of Europe at Columbia University. She has taught history and women's studies in Hungary,Italy,France,the University of New Mexico,and Harvard Divinity School. [3] [4] At the University of Oregon,she was the founding director of women's studies,which was approved first as a certificate program in 1973,approved as an academic major in 1997,and became a department of the University in 2009. [2] [4] She has also been the director of Robert D. Clark Honors College at Oregon.
Pope's 1981 Ph.D. dissertation at Columbia University was entitled,Mothers and daughters in early nineteenth-century Paris. [1] As a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard Divinity School in 1981–1982,Pope researched "the meaning and public role of female symbols and saints in religious conflict and the socio-political context of 19th and 20th century France,with particular concern for their implications for models of womanhood". [5]
Pope has written a number of pioneering articles on women's and religious history,including "Angels in the Devil's Workshop:Leisured and Charitable Women in Nineteenth-Century France and England", [6] and "Immaculate and Powerful:The Marian Revival in the Nineteenth Century". [7] She was also a consultant and co-scriptwriter on a documentary film about a Sicilian Easter Procession,Processione (1989). [8]
Pope's teaching career at the University of Oregon brought recognition and awards:In 1988 she received the University's Burlington Northern Foundation award for excellence in teaching. The Center for the Study of Women in Society described her contributions to the undergraduate curriculum:
Pope was the driving force behind the 1987 UO curriculum shift that required students to take a course focused on race and gender. Because of her determined efforts to win innovative curriculum reform,she was the first woman to win the Charles E. Johnson Memorial Award for "exceptional service to the university and the community" in 1991. Pope also received a Ford Foundation grant that helped her and colleagues develop a two-year seminar that contributed to women of color and multicultural curriculum throughout the country. [4]
The annual Barbara Corrado Pope Award was established at the Clark Honors College for an honors thesis "in the area of diversity,including gender and ethnic studies". [9]
Since retiring in 2008,Pope has written a trilogy of murder mysteries set in France during the period between the Franco-Prussian War and World War I. [2] She has published Cézanne's Quarry (New York:Pegasus Books,2008); The Blood of Lorraine (New York:Pegasus Books,2010);and The Missing Italian Girl (New York:Pegasus Books,2013). [10] She is working on a fourth novel,set in Cleveland,Ohio,and is writing short plays. [11]
Pope's fiction has been well received. Charles Sowerwine noted,"She is producing historical crime novels set in late 19th-century France,the culture to which she has devoted her life. She has added to our store of enjoyable works that teach about life in that culture." [10] He concluded,"Perhaps it is not fair to judge these novels as mysteries. While the plots of the three books certainly involve classic mystery devices—obvious suspects,red herrings,false clues,and unexpected perpetrators—Pope clearly wants more than to be the Third Republic's Fred Vargas;she wants to present a broad view of French society through a fictional setting."
Hallie Ephron wrote that Pope's "wonderful mysteries are steeped in history and twisted by her own uniquely subversive viewpoint",and observed,"Pope starts each book with an historical moment which offers a context for exploring issues of class,gender and social justice",noting finally that Pope writes "... as if there's a cheeky (not preachy) broad at the keyboard,not afraid to call it the way she sees it". [11]
Reviewer Julie Hammons,one of Pope's former students at the University of New Mexico,said there she had "learned to read fiction through the lens of women's experiences and began listening to the voices of women in contemporary politics and culture". Further,Hammons sees the influence of Pope's work as a feminist scholar in her fiction efforts. [9]
Oprah.com featured The Missing Italian Girl as a Summer Reading recommendation in 2013,as "one of 7 Compulsively Readable Mysteries (for the Crazy-Smart Reader)!" [11] [12]
The Immaculate Conception is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church that states that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception.
Madeleine Pelletier (1874–1939) was a French psychiatrist,first-wave feminist,and political activist. Born in Paris,Pelletier frequented socialist and anarchist groups in her adolescence. She became a doctor in her twenties,overcoming a large educational gap,and was France's first woman to receive a doctorate in psychiatry. Pelletier joined freemasonry,the French Section of the Workers' International,and came to lead a feminist association. She set out to join the October Revolution but returned disillusioned. In France,she continued to advocate for feminist and communist causes,and wrote numerous articles,essays,and literary works,even following a stroke in 1937 which made her hemiplegic. Pelletier was charged with having performed an abortion in 1939 despite her condition precluding her ability to perform this act. She was placed in a mental asylum where her health deteriorated and she died of a second stroke later that year.

Catholic Marian movements and societies have developed from the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary by members of the Catholic Church. These societies form part of the fabric of Mariology in the Catholic Church. Popular membership in Marian organizations grew significantly in the 20th century,as apparitions such as Our Lady of Fátima gave rise to societies with millions of members,and today many Marian societies exist around the world. This article reviews the major Marian movements and organizations.
Social feminism is a feminist movement that advocates for social rights and special accommodations for women. It was first used to describe members of the women's suffrage movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who were concerned with social problems that affected women and children. They saw obtaining the vote mainly as a means to achieve their reform goals rather than a primary goal in itself. After women gained the right to vote,social feminism continued in the form of labor feminists who advocated for protectionist legislation and special benefits for women. The term is widely used,although some historians have questioned its validity.
