President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)

The decision to erect a memorial to Thomas Jefferson was passed by Congress in 1934. Controversy occurred when the Tidal Basin was chosen in 1937 as the site for the memorial. The Tidal Basin is a reservoir between the Potomac River and the Washington Channel. Putting the memorial there required the removal of flowering cherry trees, and there was some objection to that. There was some controversy also over the design of the memorial itself. But FDR, who had been the one who had, in 1934, suggested to the Commission of Fine Arts that a memorial to Jefferson be built, approved the pantheon design for the memorial and gave the project permission to proceed.

How did innovations in communication technology affect american women

Lemur [1.5K]

Hey there,

Women have been on the other side of the line since the telegraph was invented, and we served a significant role during the American Civil War and then in both WWl-WWll as well by providing this manual connection service.

Then, just around the 1960's when communication technology was starting to make us all feel a little bit closer to each other around town (or around the country) the working force behind all of it was mostly women.

These women would manually connect callers to each individual phone. So, that very famous saying "Operator, get me..." was really something people would say on their daily basis.

These innovations gave many of American women stable jobs around a growing technology that still continues to evolve.
