  American West - History - Women of the West - Adah Isaacs Menken
Adah Isaacs Menken, also known as Adelaide McCord and Ada Bertha Théodore (in 7.) was a woman who had various talents - she was an actress as well as a poet who led a life which even in our times would have been considered as unusual.
Adah herself must have caused much confusion by, for example, claiming that she originally came from an old Southern family or, on another occasion, by claiming that she was born of a French mother in Arkansas (in 5.
Adah gave birth to a boy, but he died at birth which contributed to Adah's sorrow after all the misfortune in her private life - two broken marriages, the scandal that arose and now her baby's death (in 5.

 ADAH MAURER,1905-1998, A Remembrance
Adah Maurer's magazine and the organization she founded, End Violence Against the Next Generation, provided the basis for the first and, as it turned out, the most enduring child advocacy network in the English-speaking world.
Adah Maurer's view: that there is never a good reason for deliberately hurting a child, that nothing good comes from it, only harm, is taking root in the mainstream.
I am saddened that she is not here with us today to enjoy its progress toward inevitable vindication and triumph, toward a time when those instruments of child torture--the paddle, the strap, the cane, the tawse--will be seen as pathetic artifacts of a bygone, benighted age.

 Handbook of Texas Online: MENKEN, ADAH ISAACS
Adah Isaacs Menken, also known as Adelaide McCord and Ada Bertha Théodore, actress and poet, was most plausibly born Ada C. McCord on June 15, 1835, to Richard and Catherine E.
Adah's life before her stage career is difficult to document because her elaborate stories about her beginnings indicate a variety of names, ethnic backgrounds, birthplaces, and genealogies.
Adah continued to write poetry and to play minor roles until June 1861, when she was called upon to star in Mazeppa; or The Wild Horse of Tartary, a melodrama based on a poem by Lord Byron that opened at Albany's Green Street Theatre.

 Adah Isaacs Menken (1835-1868)
Adah Menken was to the San Francisco of Civil War days what Tetrazzini was to the city in the early years of the twentieth century.
Adah was not at all interested in home or family; in fact, the only thing she shared sincerely with him was his religion–she adopted the Jewish faith and remained steadfast in it until her death.
Bohemian San Francisco took Adah Menken to its gay and ample bosom, She was an actress and it loved actresses; she was a painter, and it loved artists; and, above all, she was a poetess, and it adored poets and poetesses.

 Adah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Adah, the young and innocent, realized that she was not ready to face death and she asked Jephthah for time to prepare herself to carry out the terms of his vow.
For Adah to be denied the privilege of being a mother was a blow as tragic and consuming as death.
For those who have found the actual killing of Adah by her father difficult to understand, perhaps this interpretation which many authorities have offered, that the ceremony of raising the sword and touching it to Adah was symbolic of her consccration to the tabernacle, may be of some explanative interest.

 Adah - Jephthah's Daughter - OES Star Point   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The scene of the first Star Point is laid beyond the Jordan River in Mizpah, the home of Jephthah, and the surrounding country, some ninety miles northeast from Jerusalem and thirty miles southeast of the sea of Galilee.
She is mentioned by the phrase "Jephthah's daughter." Modern usage, however, attaches the name of Adah, and as such she is known to the members of the Order of the Eastern Star.
The beautiful picture of Adah and her father Jephthah is the center of a collection of paintings of our Star Points painted on the ceiling of the State Dining Room at the International Temple in Washington D.C. by local artist Eric Adkins (1996).

As a young girl, Adah dreams of going to school and then to the United Kingdom which, "when pronounced by Adah's father sounded so heavy, like the type of noise one associated with bombs." Unfortunately, Adah's father dies, and she is sent to be a servant among relatives.
Adah is inspiring, not only in her unwavering desire for education and love for her children, but in her growing determination to change her life.
Adah is not so much disappointed with what she finds in Great Britain (surprisingly, since she expected to find the "kingdom of heaven" there) but with the lack of change in her husband who neither can nor wants to question his traditional ways.

 Menken, Adah Isaacs
Born into a Jewish family, probably in Chartrain (now Milneburg), Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, and probably on June 15, 1835, the later Miss Menken apparently was given the names Adah Bertha, and her surname was apparently originally Theodore, but other facts concerning her early life are obscured by later and confused publicity stories.
Adah became fluent in several languages, including German, Spanish, and Latin, and displayed a talent for singing and dancing as well.
She was later to claim that in her youth she rode horses in a circus, modeled for a sculptor, and danced in the New Orleans French Opera House.

The judge further held that there was no proof that they got the express permission of Nigerians to challenge the validity of the 1999 constitution before the court.
It would be recalled that 10 lawyers, last year, came before Justice Adah of the Federal high court, Abuja to specifically invalidate the 1999 constitution on the grounds that the constitution was not made by Nigerians and therefore illegitimate.
Their contention was that it is only the people that can draft constitution for themselves through a uniform process and not the government.
