Sarah J Hale Script Snow scenes /music N1 - In the closing months of 1822, a fierce winter storm crept through the hills north of Newport, NH. On foot was David Hale. Exposed to the elements, he hiked for miles - heading for home. It's a trek that would later take David's life. He died of pneumonia in the winter of 1822. Fade to black Painting of Sarah N2- This is David's wife, his widow - Sarah Josepha Hale. Stuart 436/530 "She had eight or nine years of marital bliss, she got along well with her husband and they had four children and one on the way. She went from happiness with a husband and 5 kids to a life of financial insecurity." Judith - describes how devastated Sarah was N3- Sarah's life was about to change and the transformation would be dramatic. Judith - describe Sarah prior to David's death Stuart 2330 "Her concept of a woman's role was more than cooking a good meal and keeping house. Her concept was more a matter of the spirit and soul. Her concept was that women had more superior qualities than men in many areas." N4- Sarah dismissed talk of equality amongst men and women. Equality she felt was a step down for many women. Stuart 311 "And the wonderful line she used was to seek equality would be to judge the excellence of porcelain by its resemblance to iron." N5 - But financial insecurity plagued Sarah. So to earn money, she published a book of her poems. Judith - how she went on to write book of poems soon after David's death Stuart 555 "And it was the little book of poems that got her notierty. Even though she didn't receive much formal education she received excellent tutoring from her brother, mother and husband." Judith - about the success of her book of poems Stuart 624 "Which was a wonderful statement about NE domestic life and by bringing in southern characters it was a jux-ta-postion the way of the NE and the southern way of life. It talked about slavery and how slavery was a corrupting influence in life. This is early for that type of talk even the radical abolitionist didn't come to NH until about 1835, here it was 1827." N5b - Northwood was successful and it caught the attention of a Boston man who was launching a magazine for women. He hired Sarah as the editor. Judith - she was invited to Boston to edit magazine Stuart 711 "And she does the one thing that she says you shouldn't do - she leaves the domestic life and leaves 4 of the 5 children to be raised by family." Judith - how difficult that was for her Shots of magazines N6- Godey's Lady's Book brought Sarah national attention. Under her editorship, subscriptions soared from 25,000 to 150,000. Judith - success of magazine Stuart 1852 "She was not the first women editor but the first of a major magazine and she established modern editorial standards. She wanted original works for her magazine and I can see her taking the works of Poe, Emerson and Longfellow who wrote for her magazine and saying - we need to edit this." Judith - how she furthered women's causes in the magazine N6b- Sarah used her editorial privileges to further advance causes such as education and healthcare for women. Stuart 820 "And yes she takes on the cause of Thanksgiving." VO reading Thanksgiving editorial from the magazine Judith - why Thanksgiving was important to Sarah N7 - Thanksgiving was a forty year effort for Sarah. Stuart 1030 "As she advocated for Thanksgiving to become a national holiday she realized she should go to the president himself, so she went to Lincoln. Image of letter to Lincoln Stuart 1040 "So in the middle of the civil war he made the last Thursday in November the official Thanksgiving proclamation. Judith - what was it about Sarah that enabled her to do this N8- Sarah continued to edit and write until her ninetieth year. Shot of book / reading of Mary Had A Little Lamb N9- Over the years, Mary's professional and personal ideals continued to evolve. Stuart 1747 "She continued to look at the world around her and saw a lot of families that weren't middle class and were working in mill towns and cities and women were out there working - they had to. She began to accommodate that and realized that women ought to do more than be the mistress of the household." Sarah image and music N10- At age 91, Mary joined her beloved David. Part of her legacy is celebrated once a year in America. The rest of Sarah's legacy is embedded in our everyday lives. Stuart 2350 "Sarah wouldn't have cared who won an election -- she would have cared about the moral health of the country in the long run. I think she was a moral compass for us in the 19th century. Even if all women didn't care for the direction that compass pointed." Judith - talk about Sarah's legacy |
