The Eloquent Woman

MARCH 23, 2012

It was her speeches that made Mother Jones "the most dangerous woman in America"--dubbed so by a West Virginia attorney. One of her most famous speeches took place in 1912 at a public meeting in Charleston, West Virginia, as Kanawha County coal companies clashed with unionized miners over a new contract. (Editor's note: During Women's History Month, we're focusing on famous historic speeches by women. Here, writer Becky Ham tackles the inimitable Mother Jones.

  In Virginia, the former practicing medical doctor was sentenced today to 40 years in federal prison. In addition, a jury had found that his prescriptions of oxycodone and oxymorphone caused the death of a woman from West Virginia. A wry observer might comment that Joel Smithers, M.D. traded away his professional reputation and freedom for relative peanuts.

For those who are not aware of what the West Virginia Housing Development Fund is, they’re a program that works with lenders to help state residents achieve the dream of homeownership. Last week, I received a letter from the WVHDF that stated: We are writing to inform you of a recent security incident at the West Virginia Housing Development Fund.

As a young woman from West Virginia, JoAnne Woodyard Boyle came to Seton Hill to study English. Aside from attending Harvard University for a Master's Degree, she never left.  First she was a professor of English, then head of the English Department, and then president. On her watch the women's college blossomed into a coed university with 2,500 students.   JoAnne, who was my English professor and mentor at Seton Hill, loved every job she had there.

She got her marching orders from West Virginia's Robert Byrd. In deconstructing what went so very wrong in New Hampshire, the Hillary Clinton inner circle realize they failed to capture the voters' imaginations. Here is the coverage by Amy Chozick in The New York Times. In essence, Clinton and her messaging are boring. The only group whose votes she got were the 65-and-over crowd. Clinton is so much the old-style carefully scripted politico. Bernie

Huntington, West Virginia. The BigUncertainty for the aging in relocating for a lower cost of living is this: That might not last.    For example, cities in southern Arizona had represented Paradise for retirees and the semi-retired. Then the middle class throughout California could no longer afford the state. They migrated to nearby states, including AZ. That drove up costs, especially rent.

AUGUST 29, 2014

Mother Jones''s speech to West Virginia miners was a typical-for-her hell-raising speech--and the only reason we have the text is because the mine owners hired a stenographer, hoping to gather evidence that she was violent and dangerous. Women''s work is never done, they say--making it a natural topic when women give speeches. I''ve chosen 11 famous speeches by women about labor and work in advance of Labor Day, all from The Eloquent Woman Index of Famous Speeches by Women.

Self-proclaimed "hellraiser" and union activist Mother Jones shows how to both lead and follow an audience in her speech before striking West Virginia miners. Most people have at least a little case of the nerves when it comes to public speaking, so it can seem doubly impressive to watch a person speaking without notes , off-the-cuff, extemporaneously.

The Southern twang is evident as you travel further down the state, and is pronounced in Virginia. A scene from Antietam National Battlefield, "Bloody Lane" and Pennsylvania monument. Looks remarkably like this in 2008, due to the efforts of battlefield preservationists.

They are West Virginia's Joe Manchia and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp.  The first major setback for the Trump Administration - Trumpcare - is only one-week young. It hovers over the Administration, which hasn't reached the 100-day milestone, like the cruel gods of ancient Greek mythology. They observed the machinations of mankind and smirked.    When Zeus had had enough he threw a thunderbolt. A second setback could happen - soon.
