Henrietta Rodman (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Henrietta Rodman was a feminist and teacher in New York City, vice president of the League for the Civic Service of Women, who protested the ban on married women teachers by marrying a friend in 1914, SOLELY to challenge the law (her husband's girlfriend was cool with this plan). Friend Floyd Dell noted wryly, “she couldn’t even do so conventional a thing as get married, without creating a terrific sensation.” She was suspended for more than a year. The clothing above was typical of her dress-reform style -- heavy sack-like tunics and boots (linen sacks and sandals in the summertime). Sources on Henrietta Rodman include: Julie C. Laible, “Henrietta Rodman and Other Modern Feminists: Redefining the New Professional Teacher,” Journal of the Midwest History of Education Society 22(1995): 229-239; June Sochen, “Henrietta Rodman and the Feminist Alliance, 1914-1917,” Journal of Popular Culture 4(1)(Summer 1970): 57-65.

• Barbara (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks, pennylrichardsca, for the information and sources. 1914 seems to have been a big year for challenging the status quo in the New York City school system, given the information you and swanq also supplied about Mrs. Lora Wagner ( flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6358159445 ).

  Indeed! I ran into Henrietta Rodman in an earlier project on the married-women-teachers ban, so I was excited to see her come up, and it was easy to find my old sources on her to share here. She's quite a character, plenty of news stories about her doings. And she knew a lot of the 1910s bohemian set in Greenwich Village, so she turns up on the margins of a lot of biographies and memoirs covering that era. If I get a chance, I'll gin up a wikipedia entry for her soon.
