Kvindemuseet Siden 1982 har museet samlet genstande, dokumenter, fotos og biografier til dokumentation af kvinders liv og virke. Dette afspejler – på godt og ondt – de store ændringer i kvinders liv. Samlingerne spænder over alle slags ting fra radrensere til tæppebankere, fra bind til brudekjoler, fra vaskevugger til fiskeskindssko, fra håndarbejder til kunstmalerier, fra skudsmålsbøger til kæreste-, svende- og næringsbreve. Der er redskaber og produkter, som har hørt til i de fleste kvinders dagligdag – fra husholdets hjemmefremstilling og forarbejdning af madvarer, fra udsmykning, reparation og vedligeholdelse af bolig, klæder og linned. Og der er sager, som stammer fra enerne, fra kunstnerne, fra de selvstændige erhvervsdrivende, sportsstjernerne og opfinderne – fra dem, der brød grænser. Der er enkeltstående gaver, og der er større slægtssamlinger. De enkelte genstande kan være fremstillet af nød, for penge eller som udtryk for overskud eller nydelse. Mange genstande taler for sig selv.

Religion and the Founding of the American Republic | Exhibitions This exhibition demonstrates that many of the colonies that in 1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely. That the religious intensity of the original settlers would diminish to some extent over time was perhaps to be expected, but new waves of eighteenth century immigrants brought their own religious fervor across the Atlantic and the nation's first major religious revival in the middle of the eighteenth century injected new vigor into American religion. The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776, and that most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions.

Wealth Inequality in the United States since 1913: Evidence from Capitalized Income Tax Data NBER Working Paper No. 20625Issued in October 2014NBER Program(s): AG DAE PE This paper combines income tax returns with Flow of Funds data to estimate the distribution of household wealth in the United States since 1913. We estimate wealth by capitalizing the incomes reported by individual taxpayers, accounting for assets that do not generate taxable income. We successfully test our capitalization method in three micro datasets where we can observe both income and wealth: the Survey of Consumer Finance, linked estate and income tax returns, and foundations' tax records. The NBER Bulletin on Aging and Health provides summaries of publications like this. You may purchase this paper on-line in .pdf format from SSRN.com ($5) for electronic delivery.
