She\u2019ll deliver the keynote lecture, <strong>\u201cReflections on Writing A Midwife\u2019s Tale,\u201d<\/strong> on <strong>November 17 at 5 p.m<\/strong>. in the Hawkins-Carlson Room at Rush Rhees Library. The event is free and open to the public; no registration is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Few scholars in the 1970s were writing about Puritan culture, and those who did had little interest in the lives of ordinary women. Witches, witch hunting, and religious dissenters were flashier subjects.<\/p>\n<p>But Ulrich\u2014now the 300th Anniversary University Professor at Harvard\u2014has a habit of looking where others don\u2019t. And when, in 1976, she published her first scholarly article, on Puritan funeral sermons for \u201cvirtuous\u201d women, she included a sentence that has become a fixture in our visual landscape: \u201cWell-behaved women seldom make history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A journalist came across the line in the 1990s and used it as an epigraph for her own book on American women. And the rest, as they say, is history. Today, the aphorism is found on everything from bumper stickers to coffee mugs to T-shirts. Its ubiquity challenges even Ulrich\u2019s formidable powers of explanation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s astounding,\u201d she says. But at the core of the line\u2019s appeal, she thinks, is this: \u201cHistory is essential to many movements for social change. If you believe that things have always been the way they are now, you don\u2019t have a history\u2014because history is the study of how things change over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you can investigate history, and begin to rewrite history, then you have a different orientation toward the future. History is our job. If we just sit and passively accept our own circumstances, nothing will change. So: well-behaved women seldom make history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a feminist scholar, Ulrich has made history herself. Her second book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/181591\/a-midwifes-tale-by-laurel-thatcher-ulrich\/9780679733768\/\"><em>A Midwife\u2019s Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785\u20131812<\/em> (Vintage, 1991)<\/a>, won the Pulitzer Prize in History\u2014the first book of women\u2019s history to receive the prize. Her material was an 18th-century diary housed at the Maine State Archives, a resource that historians before Ulrich had passed over as an object for serious scrutiny. From terse entries recorded over 27 years\u2014\u201cCalld from Mrs Howard to Mr McMasters to see their son William who is very low. Tarried there this night.\u201d\u2014by a woman for whom there was virtually no other historical record, Ulrich unspooled the complex story of a frontier community. Her book, the American Historical Association says, \u201cshowed scholars and general readers alike new ways of imagining the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ballard\u2019s diary is full of references to the household production of cloth, and it occurred to Ulrich that there was a story to be told there, as well. She published <em>The Age of Homespun: Objects and Stories in the Creation of an American Myth<\/em> (Knopf, 2001), examining early American history through 14 domestic objects: not just fabric, but tools such as baskets and spinning wheels, and furniture, including an ornate 1715 cupboard for displaying textiles. When women handed down household goods to their daughters, there was no legal record. Histories of these objects \u201chad to be teased out of provenance records in museums, where you could see where something came from and how it survived over time,\u201d she says. \u201cThat taught me a lot about what I would call \u2018female lines of inheritance.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280692\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-280692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LTUcroppedTINY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"373\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOdd things\u201d have become a touchstone of Ulrich\u2019s work. With a curator at Harvard\u2019s art museum, she explored \u201call the strange stuff in the nooks and crannies\u201d of the university\u2019s many museums, an effort that resulted in the coauthored <em>Tangible Things: Making History Through Objects<\/em> (Oxford University Press, 2015). \u201cWe systematically went into every collection,\u201d she says, asking curators what they had in their holdings \u201cthat doesn\u2019t quite fit, or seems unusual.\u201d The most unexpected find was a 120-year-old tortilla\u2014a \u201csurviving tortilla,\u201d Ulrich laughingly calls it\u2014kept in the museum\u2019s economic botany collection. It was brought from Mexico to Harvard by 19th-century botanists who were investigating agricultural products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the exciting things about working with material objects is that they force you to look at ways of apprehending the world that you might not have thought of. So the tortilla, for example\u2014as I explored that, I had to think about anthropology, botany, the economics of agricultural materials, and food, and ethnicity, and race. All of those things played a part in the story of this very odd survival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ulrich\u2019s new book is <em>A House Full of Females: Plural Marriage and Women\u2019s Rights in Early Mormonism, 1835\u20131870<\/em> (Knopf, 2017). A member of the Mormon community herself, she examines female activism\u2014women secured the vote in Utah half a century before the passage of the 19th Amendment\u2014and the marriage system, using artifacts such as diaries, ledgers, meeting notes, and quilts.<\/p>\n<p>Ulrich\u2019s most famous sentence has been interpreted as everything from a call to action to a declaration that it\u2019s the rule breakers who get remembered. The \u201cambiguity of the slogan surely accounts for its appeal,\u201d she writes in her book <em>Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History<\/em> (Knopf, 2007), a series of essays reflecting on the catchphrase.<\/p>\n<p>But history is made in many ways. \u201cI don\u2019t think it means, necessarily, running for office,\u201d she says. \u201cIt could also mean studying the past. It could mean collecting documents. It could mean preserving tortillas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could be any number of things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a 1976 journal article, Ulrich coined a phrase that has become ubiquitous: Well-behaved women seldom make history.
