Talk:Elizabeth Cutter Morrow

this photo is wrong! It is the article topic’s daughter of same first & last name. Both the mother Elizabeth & frail daughter Elizabeth are in Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express”, the daughter’s genuine frailty kept a part of the book/movie plot.

Annotated Bibliography for potential edits

Lopez, Rick A. “The Morrows in Mexico.” In Casa Manana: The Morrow Collection of Mexican Popular Arts, Edited by Susan Danly and Ilan Stavans, 31-47. Albuquerque, NM: University of New Mexico Press, 2002.

This Essay written by Rick A. Lopez is a part of a larger book published for Amherst College, and can be considered a “good source” by Wikipedia as the book is peer reviewed and published by New Mexico Press, a university press. Lopez is a professor at Amherst College and specializes in Latinx and Latin American studies. An extensive bibliography of sources is included in the essay, and none of his sources contradict each other. The essay covers the Morrows’ move to New Mexico, their reactions to the culture, and their impact on the culture. Lopez’s thesis states that the Morrows left a mark on Mexican culture and that it is impossible to determine what parts of culture are foreign or native. This article will be used extensively while writing on the Morrows’ time in New Mexico and on Elizabeth Morrow’s impact on the world.

Danly, Susan. "The Morrows in Mexico: A pictorial essay." Hopscotch: A Cultural Review 2, no. 4 (2001): 86-107. muse.jhu.edu/article/13142.

This source is suitable for Wikipedia as it is a peer reviewed journal published by Duke University Press. Susan Danly, the author, specializes in American Art and history, and she has a PHD and MA from Brown college. She edited Casa Manana: The Morrow Collection of Mexican Popular Arts and has published 5 books of her own. Danly uses primary sources, specifically Elizabeth Cutter Morrow’s book Casa Manana, to support her claims. The essay posits that the Morrows’ legacy goes unnoticed and covers the history of the Morrows in Mexico both before and after Dwight Morrow’s death. Information about Elizabeth Morrow after her husband’s death is hard to come by, so this article will be used extensively to describe her later years.

Delpar, Helen. The Enormous Vogue of Things Mexican: Cultural Relations Between the United States and Mexico, 1920-1935. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1992. ProQuest Ebook Central.

This book is a good source for Wikipedia as it was published by the University of Alabama Press, and has been peer reviewed. Helen Delpar was a professor at the University of Alabama and published two books about Latinx history. Delpar uses varied sources from archival evidence and dissertations to books, and each statement is backed up by her sources. This book’s thesis focuses on how Americans became fascinated with Mexican culture and quickly forgot this fascination; Elizabeth Morrow played a large role in this American fascination. I will use this source as yet another insight into the significance Elizabeth Morrow had on Mexican culture as it offers insight other sources do not.

Hertog, Susan. Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Her Life. New York: Random House, 1999.

This book is a good source for Wikipedia because, although it is not peer reviewed, it is backed up by extensive primary sources and the general consensus on the book is that it is factual. Also, several Wikipedia pages have already used this book as a source. Susan Hertog is a freelance journalist with an MFA from Hunter College and has written two biographical books. Hertog’s book has ceaseless notes and citations, and her sources are reliable, one of her major sources are interviews conducted between herself and Mrs. Lindbergh. The chapter where I will pull most information from has no thesis; it merely describes Elizabeth Morrow’s life from when she met Dwight Morrow until Anne left for college. This chapter will be used to craft a “family life” segment in my article. (EmilyLiddell (talk) 18:15, 6 October 2020 (UTC))
