Title A name given to the resource Helen Louise Burr '03 Description An account of the resource Helen Louise Burr was born in Dedham, Massachusetts in 1870, and attended Melrose Public Schools. She earned a BA from Wellesley College in 1893, and then a graduate degree in Domestic Science from Simmons in 1903.

In 1906, Burr became Dean of Women at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, where she also worked in the registrar’s office and eventually became a professor of Household Economics. She spent the summer of 1907 taking a postgraduate course in domestic science in Chicago, in preparation for teaching her own courses on cooking, sewing, housekeeping, sanitation, and childcare.

Title A name given to the resource Hettie Gray Baker Description An account of the resource Hettie Gray Baker was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1881 and completed a “special course” in Library Science at Simmons sometime before 1907. She worked at the Hartford Public Library and then as a legal librarian at the Hartford Bar Library before abandoning librarianship for the film industry, where she worked as a photoplay writer and then as a film editor for Fox Film. Baker believed that her work on Daughter of the Gods (1916) made her the first woman to be named as an editor in a film’s credits. In the 1930s, Baker worked for Twentieth Century-Fox as a censor representative, overseeing the company’s relations with state censorship boards. A suffragist and Unitarian, Baker was engaged in activism for much of her life. In 1914, she helped found the Photoplay Authors’ League (the forerunner of today’s Screenwriters Guild of America), and was elected vice president of the organization in its first year. She was also a member of the Municipal Art Society of Hartford and the Drama League of Hartford, as well as a frequent contributor to various film and theatre magazines. She remained connected to Simmons, serving as vice president of the New York Simmons Club in 1922. Baker died in 1957. The extent of her work as an uncredited film editor and scriptwriter remains unknown. https://beatleyweb.simmons.edu/suffrage/files/original/3a7417ef280f8d647f33554e0c941ada.jpg 605198482aef0293637f15f4c87408a2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ruth Belcher Dyk Description An account of the resource Ruth Belcher, pictured here in the 1923 edition of the Wellesley College Legenda, was born in 1901 in Portland, Maine to Arthur Belcher and Annie Manson Belcher, a fellow suffragist. Ruth and her mother marched together in the Boston suffrage parade of 1915, carrying a “Votes for Women” banner. In November of 1920, after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, the two women went to the polls together to vote in their first election. Ruth Belcher grew up in Newton, Massachusetts and attended Wellesley College, graduating in 1923. She later earned a master’s degree in Economics from Simmons, and pursued further graduate work at the University of Wisconsin and the University of California at Berkeley. As a psychiatric social worker, Belcher worked with delinquent girls in upstate New York and later as a researcher at the Downstate Medical Center of the State University of New York in Brooklyn. She wrote two books, Anxiety in Pregnancy and Childbirth (1950) and Psychological Differentiation (1962), and co-authored a third, Left Handed (1980), with her husband, anthropologist Walter Dyk, publishing it after his death. Belcher and her husband had two children, Timothy Dyk and Penelope Carter. Carter admired her mother’s activist spirit, recalling that Belcher always told her that education and independence were more important than marriage. Ruth Belcher Dyk remained involved in politics throughout her life, voting in every election and spending her final year campaigning for Hillary Clinton’s senatorial bid. Dyk died in November of 2000 at her home in Rochester, New York.

Title A name given to the resource Helen Davenport (Brown) Gibbons Description An account of the resource Helen Davenport Brown was born in Philadelphia in 1882 to Clement M. and Emily Eckert (Myers) Brown. She studied German and French at Bryn Mawr, graduating around 1905, and then pursued graduate work at Simmons from 1906 to 1907, possibly studying Household Economics. She married Herbert Adams Gibbons, a reverend and a doctoral student, in 1908 and accompanied him to Turkey, where she taught at a missionary college while her husband finished his doctoral thesis. While living in Turkey, the couple witnessed the Adana Massacre of 1909, and Helen gave birth to the first of her four children while trying to help Armenian refugees. She later wrote about her experiences in Turkey in her first book, The Red Rugs of Tarsus, published in 1917. Though Gibbons supported women’s suffrage in the United States, most of her activist work took place abroad. By the time war broke out in 1914, she and her family were living near Paris, and Gibbons dedicated herself to providing food and lodging for American soldiers traveling to the front. At various times, she was a member of the Board of Managers of the Student Hostel in Paris, the Humane Education Society of Turkey, and the Woman’s Club of Constantinople. Gibbons also worked with the Red Cross and the YMCA, organizing efforts to gather infant supplies and care for displaced children in Paris. In 1919, she published two books about her time in France, Paris Vistas and A Little Gray Home in France. After the war, Gibbons and her family returned to the United States, settling near Princeton University, where Herbert was a professor. Helen traveled the country, lecturing in English and French about her experiences living abroad. She also worked as a journalist, contributing articles to Harper’s and the Pictorial Review, and serving as a correspondent for Century Magazine at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Gibbons died in September of 1960, in Princeton, New Jersey.
