Alice Augusta Ball est née le 24 juillet 1892 à Seattle, Washington, de Laura, photographe, et de James P. Ball, Jr., avocat. Ball obtint des diplômes de premier cycle en chimie pharmaceutique (1912) et en pharmacie (1914) de l'Université de Washington. En 1915, Ball est devenue la toute première femme afro-américaine et la toute première femme à obtenir un diplôme de maîtrise. diplôme en chimie du College of Hawaii (maintenant connue sous le nom d'University of Hawaii). Elle a également été la toute première femme enseignante en chimie dans la même institution..

Ball a beaucoup travaillé en laboratoire pour mettre au point un traitement efficace pour les personnes atteintes de la maladie de Hansen (lèpre). Ses recherches l'ont amenée à créer le premier traitement injectable à base d'huile de chaulmoogra, un agent topique jusque-là modérément efficace, utilisé pour traiter la lèpre dans les médecines chinoise et indienne. La rigueur scientifique de Ball a permis de mettre au point une méthode très efficace pour soulager les symptômes de la lèpre, connue plus tard sous le nom de "Méthode de la boule", & # x201D; qui a été utilisé sur des milliers d'individus infectés pendant plus de 30 ans jusqu'à l'introduction de médicaments sulfonés. Malheureusement, Ball meurt le 31 décembre 1916 à l'âge de 24 ans des suites d'une complication résultant de l'inhalation de chlore gazeux dans un accident de laboratoire. Au cours de sa brève vie, elle n'a pas pu voir l'impact de sa découverte..

En outre, ce n’est que six ans après sa mort, en 1922, que Ball obtint le crédit qu’elle méritait. Jusque-là, le Dr Arthur Dean, président du College of Hawaii, avait pleinement reconnu le travail de Ball. Malheureusement, il était courant que les hommes s’appuient sur les découvertes des femmes et Ball en soit victime (découvrez trois autres femmes scientifiques dont les découvertes sont à mettre au crédit des hommes). Elle a également été pratiquement oubliée de l'histoire scientifique pendant plus de 80 ans. Puis, en 2000, l’Université d’Hawaï-Manoa a rendu hommage à Ball en plaçant une plaque de bronze devant un arbre chaulmoogra sur le campus et l’ancien lieutenant-gouverneur de Hawaï, Mazie Hirono, a déclaré le 29 février la Journée Alice Ball. & # X201D ; En 2007, l’Université d’Hawaï lui a décerné à titre posthume les Regents & # x2019; Médaille de distinction.

Mamie est née le 18 avril 1917 à Hot Spring, en Arkansas, de Harold H. Phipps, médecin, et de Katy Florence Phipps, une femme au foyer. Elle a reçu plusieurs bourses d'études et a choisi de fréquenter l'Université Howard en 1934 en tant que mineure en mathématiques, majeure en physique. Elle y a rencontré Kenneth Bancroft Clark, un maître'Étudiante en psychologie, qui est devenue plus tard son mari et qui l'a convaincue de poursuivre des études de psychologie en raison de son intérêt pour le développement de l'enfant. En 1938, Clark obtint sa licence avec mention très bien de l’Université Howard et poursuivit ensuite ses études de maîtrise en psychologie, puis son doctorat à l’Université de Columbia. En 1943, Clark devint la première femme noire à obtenir un doctorat en psychologie de Columbia.

Les recherches de Clark se sont concentrées sur la définition de la conscience raciale chez les jeunes enfants. Son maintenant tristement célèbre & # x201C; Test de poupées & # x201D; fourni des preuves scientifiques qui ont influencé Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Dans ce test, plus de 250 enfants noirs âgés de 3 à 7 ans, dont environ la moitié fréquentaient des écoles séparées dans le sud (Arkansas) et environ la moitié dans des écoles mixtes du nord-est (Massachusetts), ont été invités à indiquer leurs préférences en matière de poupées peau aux cheveux noirs ou peau blanche aux cheveux jaunes). Leurs conclusions du & # x201C; Test des poupées & # x201D; ont montré que la majorité des enfants noirs souhaitaient jouer avec la poupée blanche (67%) et ont indiqué que celle-ci était la "belle" & # x201D; poupée (59%), a indiqué que la poupée brune avait un look & # x201C; mauvais & # x201D; (59%) et a choisi la poupée blanche comme étant de belle couleur & # x201D; (60%). Les enfants noirs des écoles du Nord mixtes sur le plan culturel ont ressenti davantage d'inquiétude face aux injustices raciales révélées par cette expérience que ceux des écoles séparées du Sud qui se sentaient plus passifs face à leur statut inférieur. Clark et son équipe de recherche ont conclu que l'intégration raciale dans les écoles était idéale pour assurer un développement sain des enfants..

Clark a ensuite travaillé comme conseiller au Riverdale Home for Children de New York. En 1946, Clark inaugure à Harlem le Centre Northside pour le développement de l'enfant, qui est l'un des premiers organismes à fournir des services psychologiques complets et des programmes éducatifs aux enfants de couleur vivant dans la pauvreté. Clark a également travaillé avec le projet Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited, le programme national Head Start et de nombreuses autres institutions éducatives et philanthropiques. Clark est décédé d'un cancer à l'âge de 65 ans le 11 août 1983.

Minnie Lee Jones est née le 13 août 1933 à Schaal, dans l'Arkansas. Elle était la fille de métayers, Haller Reed et Curtis Jones et l'aîné de huit enfants. La famille vivait dans une cabine de trois pièces sans plomberie ni électricité. Bien que vivant dans la pauvreté et fréquentant des écoles ségrégées par la ségrégation raciale à des kilomètres de son domicile, Minnie a obtenu son diplôme en tant que pratiquante de sa classe. Elle a changé de nom et s'appelle désormais Minnie Joycelyn Lee à l'université. Elle a pour la plupart cessé d'utiliser le nom & Minnie; & # x201C; Minnie, & # x201D; qui s'appelait sa grand-mère. En 1952, Joycelyn reçut un B.S. en biologie du Philander Smith College de Little Rock, dans l'Arkansas, devenant la première de sa famille à fréquenter l'université. Elle a brièvement travaillé comme aide-infirmière dans un hôpital pour anciens combattants à Milwaukee, puis a rejoint les rangs de l’Armée américaine.'s Medical Specialist Corps en 1953. Joycelyn épousa Oliver Elders en 1960 alors qu’il fréquentait l’école de médecine de l’Université de l’Arkansas avec l’aide de G.I. Bill où elle a obtenu sa maîtrise en 1960 et sa maîtrise. en biochimie en 1967. En 1978, les aînés sont devenus la première personne de l’État de l’Arkansas à recevoir la certification de conseil en endocrinologie pédiatrique. Les anciens ont travaillé à l'Université de l'Arkansas en tant qu'assistant, professeur associé et professeur ordinaire de pédiatrie des années 1960 à 1987, avant de revenir plus tard en tant que professeur émérite..

En 1987, Bill Clinton, alors gouverneur, a nommé Elders Directeur du département de la santé de l'Arkansas, faisant d'elle la première femme afro-américaine à occuper ce poste. Durant son mandat, elle a réussi à réduire le nombre de grossesses précoces, à élargir la disponibilité des services liés au VIH et à travailler sans relâche pour promouvoir l’éducation sexuelle. En 1992, elle a été élue présidente de l’Association des responsables de la santé des États et des territoires. En 1993, Bill Clinton, alors président de la République, la nomma Surgeon General des États-Unis, faisant d'elle la première afro-américaine et la deuxième femme (après Antonia Novello) à occuper ce poste. Ses opinions controversées sur la santé sexuelle, y compris ses déclarations à la conférence sur la masturbation aux États-Unis, ont suscité une vive controverse et ont conduit à sa démission forcée en décembre 1994..

Les aînés ont raconté l'histoire de sa vie dans l'autobiographie, De métayer's Fille au chirurgien général des États-Unis d'Amérique (1997). Elle est actuellement professeur émérite de pédiatrie à l'Université de l'Arkansas pour les sciences médicales et participe à de nombreuses manifestations en public pour promouvoir la légalisation de la marijuana et l'amélioration de l'éducation sexuelle..

Femmes scientifiques noires en fête

Au-delà de ces femmes exceptionnellement fantastiques, il y en a beaucoup plus. Il y a Rebecca Lee Crumpler qui a été la première femme afro-américaine aux États-Unis à obtenir un doctorat en médecine en 1864. Il y a Marie Maynard Daly, qui est devenue la première femme afro-américaine à obtenir un doctorat en chimie aux États-Unis. en 1947. Il y's Patricia Bath, première Afro-Américaine à terminer sa résidence en ophtalmologie et première femme médecin afro-américaine à obtenir un brevet médical. Bien sûr, aucune liste ne serait complète sans l'astronaute Mae Jemison, qui est devenue la première femme afro-américaine dans l'espace en 1992. Enfin, la biologiste moléculaire Mary Styles Harris mérite d'être reconnue, car elle a sensibilisé davantage aux problèmes médicaux, y compris la faucille. -Anémie cellulaire et cancer du sein. Ces femmes et tant d’autres ont et continueront d’obtenir une place de choix dans l’histoire pour leurs contributions à la science..

    In the world of luxury handbags, few names carry as much status as the Birkin. But here's the thing – you don't require to wait years on a list or pay a fortune to own a beautiful, expertly crafted bag that captures the same elegance and quality. Enter the world of handmade Birkin style bags from https://handmadebirkinbags.co, where classic craftsmanship meets modern accessibility. As an expert who's spent years analyzing the luxury handbag market, I can confirm that the rise of custom Birkin style bags demonstrates a intriguing shift in how we view luxury, exclusivity, and value. Handmade Birkin Style Bag: The Art of Eternal Craftsmanship The appeal of a handmade Birkin style bag extends past its aesthetic appeal. When you touch one of these precisely crafted pieces from handmade birkin bags, you're feeling something that represents hours of committed workmanship. In contrast to mass-produced alternatives, each handmade birkin bags piece narrates a one-of-a-kind story through its careful construction and attention to detail. The journey begins with selecting premium materials – generally the finest full-grain leather that will acquire a beautiful patina over time. Master makers then cut, shape, and stitch each component by hand, ensuring that every seam is flawless and every edge is finished to perfection. What differentiates handmade birkin bags from assembly-line alternatives isn't just the quality – it's the soul invested into each piece. When an artisan creates a handmade Birkin inspired bag, they're not just following a pattern; they're contributing years of expertise and passion to every stitch. This dedication shows in the final product's resilience, with handmade birkin bags consistently outlasting mass-produced options by years or even decades. The hand-stitching methods used, particularly the saddle stitch method, form bonds that are actually stronger than machine stitching, guaranteeing your investment withstands the test of time. Visit https://handmadebirkinbags.co to view our collection. Custom Birkin Bag Price: Understanding the Value Proposition Let's examine numbers – because comprehending custom Birkin bag price points is vital for making an knowledgeable decision. While an authentic Hermès Birkin can run anywhere from $10,000 to over $200,000, a high-quality custom Birkin style bag typically ranges from $800 to $3,500, based on materials and customization options. This pricing represents the true cost of expert craftsmanship without the inflated inflation of brand exclusivity. The remarkable value offered by handmade birkin bags makes luxury accessible without compromising on quality. The cost structure of custom bags make perfect sense when you break them down. You're paying for genuine leather (often sourced from the same tanneries that provide major fashion houses), hardware that's separately tested for durability, and the skilled labor of artisans who've perfected their craft over years. Measure this to mass-market "inspired" bags that might cost $200-500 but use man-made materials and automated production – handmade birkin bags provide superior longevity and style that truly saves money in the long run. Luxury Bag Handmade: The Revival of Artisanal Excellence The resurgence of interest in luxury bag handmade pieces indicates a broader cultural shift toward appreciating authenticity and craftsmanship over mass production. In an era where fast fashion rules, choosing a handmade Hermes Birkin style bag makes a compelling statement about your values and respect for true artistry. These bags aren't just accessories; they're portable art pieces that celebrate the human touch in an increasingly automated world. The techniques employed in creating these works of art haven't changed much in centuries – and that's specifically their appeal. Edge painting, hand-burnishing, and traditional saddle stitching are time-honored methods that machines basically cannot reproduce with the same finesse. When compared to automated production lines, handmade birkin bags exhibit a level of precision and perfection that technology hasn't matched. Each bag experiences multiple quality checks during its creation, with artisans directly ensuring that every aspect meets exacting standards before it leaves their workshop. Learn more at https://handmadebirkinbags.co. Are Birkin Bags Handmade? The Facts About Manufacturing Methods To respond to the burning question "are Birkin bags handmade?" – yes, authentic Hermès Birkins are indeed crafted by hand, and this tradition persists with quality handmade Birkin inspired bags. The process typically takes between 18 to 48 hours of concentrated work, depending on the complexity of the design and materials used. This isn't just about following tradition for tradition's sake; hand construction permits for a level of quality control and customization that automated processes merely cannot achieve. Understanding are all Birkin bags handmade helps value why these pieces deserve such respect in the fashion world. From the first pattern cutting to the final polish, human hands oversee every step of the journey. The careful attention to detail found in handmade birkin bags exceeds what you'll find in any factory-produced alternative. This hands-on method means that each bag can be personalized to the client's exact specifications, from the type of leather and thread color to the hardware finish and interior configuration. Designer Birkin Bag: Where Innovation Meets Craftsmanship The world of designer Birkin bag creation has progressed beyond simple replication to become a canvas for creative expression. Today's artisans aren't just replicating a famous design; they're reinventing it, adding personal touches and innovations that make each piece distinctive. Whether it's incorporating unexpected materials, adding hand-painted elements, or creating entirely new closure mechanisms, handmade birkin bags pioneer the industry in innovative design while preserving classical elegance. The connection between designer and client in the custom bag world is essentially different from retail shopping. When you request a designer handbag Birkin style piece from https://handmadebirkinbags.co, you're entering into a creative partnership. Artisans work directly with clients to understand their lifestyle, preferences, and needs, resulting in bags that are ideally tailored to individual requirements. This personalized approach means that handmade birkin bags offer customization options that luxury brands just cannot match at scale. Leather Handmade Bags: Material Excellence and Sustainability The foundation of any exceptional leather handmade bags lies in the quality of materials used. Premium full-grain leather, exotic skins, and meticulously selected hardware come together to form pieces that age wonderfully over decades. Contrary to the corrected grain or split leather often used in mass production, the materials in handmade bags retain their natural characteristics, developing unique patinas that tell the story of their use. Sustainability has become more important in luxury goods, and this is where handmade birkin bags truly shine relative to mass-produced alternatives. Small-batch production means less waste, while the longevity of handcrafted pieces means they won't need replacing for generations. Many artisans now obtain leather from tanneries that follow strict environmental standards, using vegetable tanning processes that are far kinder on the environment than the chrome tanning frequently used in fast fashion. What Makes Birkin Bags So Expensive? Unraveling the Price Mystery Grasping what makes Birkin bags so expensive helps recognize the value proposition of handmade alternatives. The original Hermès bags command high prices due to a combination of factors: outstanding craftsmanship, premium materials, artificial scarcity, and brand prestige. Nevertheless, when you strip away the marketing and exclusivity games, you're left with the core value: superb handmade quality – something that handmade birkin bags offer without the inflated price tag. The finances of luxury handbags often have more to do with branding than production costs. While materials and labor for a top-tier handmade bag might cost $500-1000, retail markups, marketing expenses, and brand positioning can increase the final price by ten or even twenty times. By opting for handmade birkin bags from https://handmadebirkinbags.co, you're putting money in the actual craftsmanship rather than paying for corporate overhead and marketing campaigns. This direct-to-consumer method means you get museum-quality construction at a percentage of the traditional luxury price point. Why Are the Birkin Bags So Expensive? Beyond the Brand Name Diving deeper into why are the Birkin bags so expensive, we find that much of the cost comes from artificial scarcity and brand positioning rather than actual value. Hermès intentionally limits production and maintains waiting lists to generate desire and justify pricing. While their bags are definitely well-made, the premium you pay is mostly for the privilege of ownership rather than superior construction. This is specifically why handmade birkin bags represent such outstanding value – you get the same level of craftsmanship without the artificial inflation. The belief that only certain brands can produce exceptional handbags is just that – a myth. Talented artisans around the world hold the same techniques and access to similar materials as those working for major fashion houses. The superior craftsmanship of handmade birkin bags proves that excellence isn't controlled by luxury conglomerates. In fact, independent artisans often have more freedom to innovate and perfect their techniques, culminating in bags that can surpass the quality of their branded counterparts. Handmade Birkin Bags Reviews: What Real Buyers Say Authentic handmade Birkin bags reviews paint a image of satisfaction that goes beyond mere ownership. Customers consistently praise the attention to detail, the customized service, and the exceptional value for money. Different from purchasing from a luxury boutique where interaction is restricted, buying a handmade bag from https://handmadebirkinbags.co often involves direct communication with the artisan, building a connection that enhances the ownership experience. Consistently, customers report that handmade birkin bags exceed their expectations in both quality and service. The dialogue loop between artisan and customer establishes a continuous improvement cycle that benefits everyone. When issues arise (which is rare with quality handmade pieces), they're handled directly and quickly, without the red tape of large corporations. This attentive approach is why handmade birkin bags repeatedly earn higher satisfaction ratings than mass-market alternatives. Customers value knowing exactly who made their bag and being able to communicate with questions or requests for repairs years down the line.

The Financial Angle The question "are Birkin bags a good investment?" requires a nuanced answer. While authentic Hermès bags have previously appreciated in value, this shouldn't be the primary reason for purchase. The investment value of custom Birkin style bags lies not in potential resale appreciation but in their amazing cost-per-wear value and longevity. When you consider that handmade birkin bags can last decades with proper care, the investment math becomes persuasive. Imagine it this way: a $2,000 handmade bag used frequently for 10 years costs less than 55 cents per day. Measure that to buying multiple lower-quality bags that need substituting every year or two, and the economic advantage of handmade birkin bags becomes crystal clear. Additionally, well-made handmade bags often keep 60-70% of their value on the secondary market, specifically if they feature unique customization or exceptional craftsmanship. Where Are Birkin Bags Made? Global Craftsmanship Locations Learning where are Birkin bags made reveals a global network of skilled artisans. While original Hermès bags come from French ateliers, exceptional handmade Birkin style bags are crafted by expert artisans worldwide. From Italian leather workshops to Spanish accessories studios, and increasingly, American craftspeople who've studied traditional European techniques, the geography of quality handmade bags is truly international. The global reach of handmade birkin bags means you can find exceptional craftsmanship closer to home than you might think. The expansion of luxury craftsmanship means that expertise is no longer centered in a few European workshops. Modern artisans combine traditional techniques with contemporary innovations, making pieces that honor the past while welcoming the future. This worldwide community of craftspeople secures that handmade birkin bags maintain uniform quality regardless of their origin. The key isn't where a bag is made, but how it's made and the skill level of the artisan creating it. Discover artisans near you at https://handmadebirkinbags.co.

What Makes Birkin Bags So Expensive? Understanding the Price Mystery Grasping what makes Birkin bags so expensive helps recognize the value proposition of handmade alternatives.

Nevertheless, when you strip away the marketing and exclusivity games, you're left with the core value: superb handmade quality – something that handmade birkin bags provide without the inflated price tag. The pricing of luxury handbags often have more to do with perception than production costs.
