She was then accepted to the University of Chicago in 1929 as an anthropology major in which she focused on dance. Dunham started her professional career when she formed a dance company named ‘Ballet Negre’. They had a debut performance at the annual Beaux Arts Ball in Chicago. In 1933 Dunham opened her first dance school in Chicago called The Negro Dance group. The dance school had great success which led her on to many successful years of dancing and choreographing.
Of the $500 she made a year, she put $200 away to attend graduate school (Pioneer 807). In June of 1918 Lancefield became a technical for a Streptococcus study at the Rockefeller Hospital (Pioneer 805). At this time, classifying streptococcal bacteria had a very difficult method and was in a very messy state. After moving back to Oregon with her husband for a year, they returned to New York and Lancefield continued with her work with Zinsser, whom typically didn’t like women in his laboratory but made an exception for Lancefield due to her history in biology/bacteriology. It was here that Lancefield began her work with Streptococcus viridians, which was suspected by the medical community to cause rheumatic fever.

Dorothy Dandrige By: Erykah Hunter Early life Dorothy Dandrige was born on November 9, 1922 in Cleveland Ohio to aspiring entertainer Ruby Dandrige and Cyril Dandrige a cabinet maker and minister, who seperated just before her birth. Ruby created a song and a dance for her two daughters, Vivian and Dorothy, under the name of The Wonder Children, that was managed by Geneva Williams. Dorothy and her sister toured the Southern United States almost nonstop for five years (rarely attending school) while Ruby worked and performed in Cleveland. During the Great Depression, work virtually dried up for the Dandriges, as it did for many Chitlin circuit preformers. The Wonder Children were renamed The Dandrige Sisters
Wilma Glodean Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 pounds (2.0 kg), the 20th of 22 siblings from two marriages;[4][3] her father Ed was a railway porter and her mother Blanche a maid. [9] Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age four. She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was nine.

There were only women there and they were all ages. I still felt uncomfortable because I was a recovery drug addict and not a family or friend of a person dealing with alcololics or drug addicts. Then I met this one lady and she introduced herself and told me she was there because her husband was an alcoholic. She was a very nice and she made me feel more relaxed. So I was ready to listen when the meeting started.
Amy Beach Amy Beach was born on September 5, 1867 in Henniker, New Hampshire. She was a child prodigy, and was able to sing forty tunes accurately by age one. She had also taught herself to read when she was four. By the time she was five she was composing simple waltzes. A year after her mother started giving her formal piano lessons.
She not only had to be wary of subjects and advisors but family as well, which she learned from the stories of family members that were killed by relatives so they could seize the throne (Schiff 1). This information would come in handy and even lifesaving. She was also extremely well-educated, unlike many other women of her time. Cleopatra studied political and military events of the past, and memorized speeches to learn how to make convincing debates (Blackaby 8). The Cleopatra modern media presents, such as Elizabeth Taylor’s portrayal, this information is never implied or revealed about Cleopatra, she simply would not be seen doing such a thing.
This is quite degrading to women. A woman can maintain a job, raise and provide for a child, all without a man’s help. The fact that a woman like Scarlett, with all her physical and mental capabilities, needs to be protected by a man for a very minor incident compared to other situations she has been in, is very degrading to women. The women in CSI: Las Vegas are very well educated and smart, similar to Scarlett in GI Joe. However, the women’s education and knowledge in CSI is not valued, instead their appearance is foregrounded and highly focused on.
