Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Elizabeth Whitney Williams a grandi à Beaver Island dans le nord du lac Michigan.Elle est devenue gardienne du phare du port de cette île en 1872, à la suite du décès de son mari, gardien de phare lui-même, lors d'une tentative de sauvetage de marins naufragés.Après douze années de service sur Beaver Island, elle s'est assuré un autre poste de gardienne à Harbor Springs, Michigan au phare de Harbor Point Light, où elle a servi pendant vingt-neuf années.Elizabeth Williams a obtenu une notoriété modeste avec la publication de son autobiographie, A Child of the Sea (enfant de la mer) en 1905.La biographie d'Elizabeth William est frappante, en partie, parce que peu de femmes ont tenu la position de gardienne de phare.Ce gardiennage, cependant, était un métier socialement acceptable pour un petit nombre de femmes au 19 ème siècle car leurs fonctions étaient souvent compatibles avec des notions de domesticité femelle dans les classes moyennes.In 1904, The Designer, a women's magazine, published an article profiling women with an unusual occupation -lighthouse keeping.While reassuring readers that women were not assigned to the most dangerous of light stations, the article's author maintained that women possess the most important quality for a good lighthouse keepera keen "devotion to duty."According to the author, "Mrs.Daniel Williams . . .stands first" amongst female Great Lakes lighthouse keepers "in point of achievement."Indeed, Elizabeth Williams had been tending lights for more than thirty years, was writing her memoirs, and was still fulfilling her responsibilities as a homemaker.1 Light keeping was primarily a male occupation in the early twentieth century, and the author of the article acknowledged that female keepers were a distinct minority.During her long career as a lighthouse keeper, however, Elizabeth Williams tended lighthouses at Beaver Island and the resort town of Harbor Springs on northern Lake Michigan.Elizabeth received some modest notoriety with the publication of her memoir, 1 Mary Richards Gray, "Our Women Lighthouse-Keepers," The Designer 20 (1904), reprinted in Lighthouse Digest (February, 1997) online via Lighthouse Depot Online,

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
