BiographyEducationBraithwaite was born in Williamsburg, Virginia. On October 2, 1896, she petitioned the faculty at the College of William & Mary to allow her to attend chemistry lectures. Her petition was denied 4 to 3. Among the seven men who voted, President of the College Lyon Gardiner Tyler voted in favor of the petition and English professor John Lesslie Hall voted against it.[2] CareerBraithwaite intended to travel to China as a medical missionary after being trained at William & Mary to be a doctor, but this plan was derailed when her petition to attend was denied.[3] Instead, Braithwaite began her teaching career in 1899 at the Blue Canyon Day School near the Hopi Reservation in Arizona.[4] She later taught at the Fort Mojave School from 1902 to 1906.[5] It was at Fort Mojave that she met and married Clarence W. Jenkins in 1906. Her memoir, Girl from Williamsburg, was published in 1951.[6] LegacyThe Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies department at the College of William & Mary hosts an annual lecture in commemoration of her efforts to attend classes at the College.[7] Some of her and her family’s papers can be found in the Special Collections Research Center at Earl Gregg Swem Library. One such paper is a letter from William & Mary Board of Visitors member Thomas Barnes to Braithwaite regarding her petition to attend classes at the College.[8] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Freehling|first1=Alison|title=Light Of Learning To Shine In Teacher's Memory|url=http://articles.dailypress.com/1996-10-02/news/9610020089_1_women-s-studies-william-and-mary-lectures|accessdate=20 February 2018|publisher=Daily Press|date=October 2, 1996}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Rouse|first1=Parke|title=W&m Hails Woman's Effort|url=http://articles.dailypress.com/1996-09-29/news/9609270235_1_colonial-williamsburg-professors-chemistry-department|accessdate=20 February 2018|publisher=Daily Press|date=September 29, 1996}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Cahill|first1=Cathleen D.|title=Federal Fathers and Mothers A Social History of the United States Indian Service, 1869-1933|date=June 2011|publisher=University of North Carolina Press|location=North Carolina|isbn=978-0-8078-7773-9|pages=384|url=https://www.uncpress.org/book/9781469606811/federal-fathers-and-mothers/|accessdate=20 February 2018}} 4. ^{{cite journal|last1=Carter|first1=Patricia A.|title=Completely Discouraged’: Women Teachers' Resistance in the Bureau of Indian Affairs Schools, 1900-1910.|journal=Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies|date=1995|volume=15|issue=3|page=53|jstor=3346785}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last1=Sherer|first1=Lorraine M.|title=The Clan System of the Fort Mojave Indians: A Contemporary Survey.|journal=Southern California Quarterly|date=1965|volume=47|issue=1|page=67|jstor=41169900}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Jenkins|first1=Minnie Braithwaite|title=Girl From Williamsburg|date=1995|publisher=Dietz Press|location=Richmond, Virginia|pages=343|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b4315296;view=1up;seq=1|accessdate=20 February 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Braithwaite Lecture|url=https://www.wm.edu/as/gsws/events/braithwaitelecture/index.php|website=College of William & Mary|accessdate=20 February 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Bucktrout-Braithwaite Papers, 1780-1996|url=http://scdb.swem.wm.edu/index.php?p=collections/controlcard&id=7711|website=Earl Gregg Swem Library Special Collections Database|accessdate=20 February 2018}} External links
