Brief Biographical Sketch:
My name is Edie Abraham-Macht, and I'm a sophomore at Yale from Brooklyn, New York. I plan to major in English with a creative writing concentration and American Studies, as well as apply for the Education Studies program. My poetry has received regional and national recognition from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, and I've had work published in Hanging Loose and Aerie International magazines. At Yale, my poetry has appeared in the Yale Daily News Magazine, Yale's feminist publication Broad Recognition, and Kalliope at Yale's online issue. I also write nonfiction for the Yale Daily News Weekend section and the Yale Herald. One of my great passions is working with children, and I hope to someday become a teacher. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)H4014: Abraham Lincoln, Religion, and the Civil War in Splash Fall 2019 (Nov. 16, 2019)
In this class, we will examine religious rhetoric surrounding the Civil War. We will discuss how both the Confederate and Union sides used religious ideals traceable to the Colonial American period to justify their actions, and how this permitted them to frame the war as a moral necessity and God-ordained duty. We will delve specifically into Abraham Lincoln’s religious evolution, and how his conceptions of a mysterious—albeit interventionist—God figured into his wartime decisions, especially that of emancipation.
E3861: Militant Women in the British Suffrage Movement in Sprout Fall 2019 (Sep. 28 - Oct. 12, 2019)
This class will give an overview of the history of the British Women’s Suffrage Movement, full of shocking acts of militancy and strength. The militant movement arose suddenly after years of attempting to make incremental progress towards the vote. Finally, after years of being ignored, the women made sure that they couldn’t possibly be anymore. I’ll focus in on influential figures of the movement, such as Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst, and describe their individual contributions and how they rallied women to their cause. I’ll also show a clip from the movie Suffragette with Meryl Streep.
