Lucy Maynard Salmon was a pioneer educator with a progressive spirit. Having earned a bachelor's and master's degree from the University of Michigan in 1876 and 1883, Salmon continued her studies under Bryn Mawr professor and future U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson. Thereafter, Salmon began her forty-year Vassar College career and earned a reputation as a nationally prominent historian, suffrage advocate, author, and teacher. She helped found the American Association of University Women, the American Association of University Professors, and the Middle States Council for the Social Studies. She was the only woman to serve on the American Historical Association's Committee of Seven and the first woman to be elected to its Executive Council. An advocate of the new social history, Salmon's teaching methods were novel at the time and continue to be relevant today. Indeed, Salmon advised students to «go to the sources».

The Illustrated Our Guests
"This zine is actually a remake, an abridged and illustrated version of what could be considered one of the first zines ever released at Vassar College: Lucy Maynard Salmon's 'Our Guests: Mary Ann and Her Predecessors'. Lucy Maynard Salmon (1853-1927) was a history professor at Vassar and the first woman to serve on the executive committee of the American Historical Association, as well as a dogged suffragist. Shge was a memeber of the 'new social history' school: she looked to unconventional documents for research and emphasized the role of the everyday in reflecting and shaping history. Salmon's students noted her "gift [for] finding in the commonplace something significant" (Vassar Encyclopedia). This is visible in her lighthearted description of the dogs that came to stay in her house on Mill Street in Poughkeepsie." -- Preface

Bending the Future to Their Will
This lively and thought-provoking collective biography uncovers the contributions of past women educators who promoted a distinctive vision of citizenship education. A distinguished group of scholars, including editors Margaret Smith Crocco and O. L. Davis, Jr., consider the lives and perspectives of eleven women educators and social activists_Jane Addams, Mary Sheldon Barnes, Mary Ritter Beard, Rachel Davis DuBois, Hazel Hertzberg, Alice Miel, Lucy Sprague Mitchell, Bessie Pierce, Lucy Maynard Salmon, Hilda Taba, and Marion Thompson Wright_concerned over the last century with issues of difference in schools and society. This volume's reconstruction of 'hidden history' reveals the importance of these women to contemporary debate about gender, pluralism, and education in a democracy. Characterized by views of education that were constructivist, customized, and transformative, their lives and ideas present an alternative model to dominant conceptualizations of education_one sensitive to the demands of pluralism within civil education long before the present-day debates about multiculturalism.
