Exhibit shows role of female writers
By JANE NEUFELD Staff Reporter
"Bluestockings, Chatealines, and Other Working Women," an exhibit on women's careers from the Middle Ages to the present, will be on display in the Spencer Research Library through Sept. 12.
The exhibit contains original manuscripts of letters, diaries, legal documents and published materials of 23 women, ranging from a 13th century Welsh woman to a Greenwich Village poet of the 1960s.
ANN HYDE, manuscripts librarian for the department of special collections in Spencer Library, said yesterday that she decided to put up the display when she discovered that many people did not realize the role of women in the past.
in the past.
"They feel that everything before 10 years ago was very Victorian and repressed," Hyde said.
She said that as she looked through historical writings, she realized that people had a false view of women's lives.
"I began to realize that women crop up with reasonable frequency in these accounts," Hyde said, "not as often as she curries, but they are certainly present."
THE WRITTINGS ON exhibit are from the library's department of special collections.
The items displayed include the recipe book of a 17th century housewife, a Scottish historical novel that was once banned by Napoleon because it approved of revolts against the government. The recipe book of King Felipe IV of Spain and a Spanish nun who was his adviser and an account book of an 18th century charwoman.
Hyde said the recipe book of
Elizabeth Dyke, daked 1668, was an example of the responsibilities women faced in running a household. In addition to recipes, the book contains directions for brewing and distilling, advice for removing stains, making household charms, as well as remedies for scurvy, sterility, colic and kidney stones.
"The woman was responsible for the lives and economic survival of the people in her household," Hyde said. It was essentially a case of the house coming home and taking off his boots once he was in the castle walls."
HYDE SAID THAT a number of women scholars were represented in the collection.
Elizabeth Elstob, the first female Anglo-Saxon scholar, is an example of an educated woman from the past, Hyde said. Elstob was an Oxford scholar who published a manuscript in Saxon and English in 1709.
"There were no protests that I know of. 'Hydde said.' I think she was considered."
Douglas County officials locked the gates to Lake Star Lake this weekend, forcing area residents to climb over haven from the late暑热夏 heat.
A faulty floodgate and cracks in the gate's cement housing structure have forced officials to drain the lake so repairs can be made. The 200-acre lake is 12 miles southwest of Lawrence.
According to Mike Dooley, director of the county Department of Public Works, the floodgate has been inoperable since the lake was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934.
BECAUSE OVERFLOW from the lake could be channeled to the spillway, the broken gate posed no flooding problems—until two years
two years ago, expansion caused by freezing water caused cracks in the structure housing the gate. The

cracks worsened last winter; causing uncontrollable leakage of the lake's water reserve.
Dooley said yesterday that repairs were needed last year but that disagreement between county and state officials about repair bill responsibilities caused them to be delayed until now.
Fifty percent of the $80,000 repair bill will be paid with county funds. The other half will be paid through a Environmental Protection Agency.
PUBLIC WORKS employees hastened draining of the lake two weeks ago by prying open the jammed floodgate to allow the lake's reserves to rush into adoining Washington Creek.
The Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission is in charge of disposition of the fish in the lake.
Steve Hawks, district fisheries biologist for the commission, said he
was trying to save most of the fish, but some would die if they were not removed before the water drained completely.
COMMISSION WORKERS are using nets to gather up the fish, which will be moved to other city and county lakes.
As water levels fall later this fall, the public also will be allowed to join in the fish-saving efforts. Hawks may use these methods to use any method to get the fish.
Repairs to the gate will be completed by early next spring, Dooley said, but he is not sure when the lake will be reopened.
"Mother Nature is in charge of that one," he said.
we don't pipe any water into the lake; it all comes from the sky," he said. "Opening day really depends on how much rain we get next spring."
