18. FONDS Martha Brookes Hutcheson Papers Collection - Martha Brookes Hutcheson Papers, Parent Record The Martha Brookes Hutcheson Papers collection contains personal papers, published articles, photographs, negatives and glass slides that were assembled by Martha Brookes Hutcheson regarding her career, family genealogy, family history, Merchiston Farm, and landscape gardening 1900 through 1959. This collection provides a unique glimpse into the design and professional life of Martha Brookes Hutcheson through her own eyes as she was the primary organizer of the records found within. Mrs. Hutcheson was writing, designing, and working in an era of widespread progressive campaigns, including those for a social insurance system, public education, child-labor laws, and women's suffrage. From her work as a founder of the Women's Land Army (WLA) during World War I, to the Garden Club of American (GCA) working as a "political and civic force", Merchiston Farm became a nexus for her social agenda, a place where women could contribute physically, intellectually and economically to society at a time when they were often unable to on a broad scale. Hutcheson urged for the contribution of landscape architects to national education, including such movements as the School Garden Movement, and explored the tensions between her own progressive agenda and the strictures of her elite social class. Through Martha's evolving social and ecological design practices and in her public lectures, writing and advocacy through the GCA the Martha Brookes Hutcheson Papers are able to tell the story of how Merchiston Farm and landscape design was able to empower women and pave the way for ecofeminism a practice not realized until 1970.
