Juliet Stroh Blanchard Papers 1902-1996

http://rave.ohiolink.edu/archives/ead/ODaWU0094

Born in 1902, Juliet Stroh Blanchard came to Ohio in 1920 to attend the College of Wooster. Her husband, Werner (Pete) Blanchard, founded the company, Engineering Products, and they settled in Dayton, Ohio. Juliet became recognized for her leadership in the Dayton community and her international work advocating peace. Blanchard became well known for her writing, travels, and speaking engagements. The collection is a resource for research relating to the social, educational, and philanthropic activities of a woman who made a significant contribution to Dayton and to the state of Ohio during the mid-20th century. Her collection is of special interest in the field of Women's Studies as Blanchard challenged the boundaries of traditional homemaking. The collection also provides some insight on the activities of the organizations that she belonged to, including the League of Women Voters, Dayton Council on World Affairs, Dayton Woman's Literary Club, and Westminster Presbyterian Church, as well as her service in the Peace Corps, UNESCO, U.S. Agency for International Development, and other international organizations. It also documents some of the historical events taking place both locally and worldwide during that time period.
