Edith Green Collection — all boxed up<\/p><\/div>\n

Last week I picked up 5 boxes at the Oregon Historical Society Research Library<\/a> from the Edith Green Collection so students in Dr. Marisa Chappell’s Women in Politics class could get their hands on the real stuff of history.<\/p>\n

In case you don’t know about Edith Green, I recommend taking some time to get to know her history. For more, I turned to The Oregon Encyclopedia site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Democrat\u00a0Edith Starrett Green represented Oregon\u2019s 3rd Congressional District from 1955 through 1974. During her twenty years in the U.S. House of Representatives, she gained a national reputation for her leadership in shaping federal education policy and her advocacy for equal rights for women. She was known for her independence, tenacity, and ability.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Want to know even more about Green?\u00a0You’ll find some good information and external sources by perusing the Wikipedia article on Green<\/a>\u00a0and by reading the Women in Congress article on Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want to know more about the collection? Check out the Guide to the Edith Green Papers (1955-1975)<\/a> on NWDA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
