This letter was written in 1865 just months after the Civil War ended; by all accounts the experience during the War at the Female Seminary was positive. Records note time spent playing games studying and socializing with the boys at the Male Seminary. Some of the girls enjoyed dancing afternoon teas socializing and local excursions. When news that a Union Army Division would be passing through by train Xenia extended an invitation for the boys in blue to stop in town for a square meal.

Women Education 19th c. Photographs
Photograph Album from One of the first Female Colleges which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man 1862
Women Education Photo Album Elmira NY Female College Class of 1862 album. 42 original photographs each aprox 1.5 x 1.25 in. Nearly all photos are identified with handwritten captions. 114 pages 53 pages overall have been used for photos writing or both. All entries dated 1861-1862. Light brown leather boards. 8 x 5.25 in. Titled on cover with gilt design of an autograph book and a quill pen surrounded by ivy "Autographs." The book is full of signatures and small oval portraits of the girls who were the 1862 class of Elmira College. Along with signatures of her classmates the owner of this book has some signatures from people of the town of Elmira New York Augustus W. Cowles President of the collegeand other other instructors. One page has been illustrated with the outline of a pile of letters into which girls have written their names addresses and messages. It would be several decades more before Academic yearbooks as we know them now with photographs and names of individual students and graduates became common. At this time the typical "Annual" was a small catalog that acted as a memento of students attending and also as advertising with general business catalog information concerning the school inside. School photos of any kind were highly uncommon. This student's personally made yearbook containing photographs and names of a large portion of her classmates as well as teacher's and college president is an extremely unique women's educational history item. Leather on spine is mostly absent or pulling away though internal hinges are sound. Good to very good condition.<br/><br/>The New York-area college is the oldest still in existence which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man. Elmira College was first conceived on in 1851 with the intention of creating a college that would grant degrees to women equal to those of men. The first students arrived in October 1855 though the rooms had not yet been completely furnished and the furnace was not yet working. Also not all of the students were ready for college-level work. In September 1855 Rev. Augustus W. Cowles visited the campus and the following year was offered the position of president. Vassar's first president modeled the acceptance requirements and curriculum of his school upon those of Elmira. The members of the first graduating class received diplomas in 1859 only 2 years before this album was created. The college faced a difficult beginning. The student body was minuscule; in 1884 only three students were in the graduating class. Two reasons for this situation were the national tumult caused by the Civil War and the opening of other colleges that admitted women. Dr. Cowles believed that a problem was the perception that Elmira was only on the level of a boarding school. He stressed hiring better professors to secure larger graduating classes. . unknown books

Letter between Two Female Teacher in 1855 NY
19th c. Women Education Handwritten letter between female friends at different women seminaries. Jan. 19 1855. "Emily" a teacher at Neversink Seminary in Port Jervis NY writes to a friend Anna Atwood in Elmira NY about starting a Literary Society and raising funds for it. 4 pages folded on a single sheet with 1 page of cross-writing. With original Mailing envelope. Atwood was working at Elmira Collegiate Seminary chartered 1853 just as it was being renamed Elmira College later in 1955; it is the oldest college still in existence which as a women's college granted degrees to women that were the equivalent of those given to men. Regarding the changes at Elmira Collegiate Seminary:"I have been thinking that perhaps I should not be able to recognize your Seminary now for I remember your writing to me some time ago of some improvements that had been made. I presume a change would be less apparent in the persons that occupy it; there are some however whom I think I would recognize as friends." <br/><br/>Emily also gives updates on her school Neversink Seminary: "We have just commenced another term of school. Our last closed on the 11th of Jan. We had only a week vacation; just time enough to see the folk at home without making any visits.I must tell you something about our school last term. You will remember it marked an important era in my life. I like teaching very well though I think I have found more pleasure in studying.  I like it so long as I can keep my class interested. Sometime I can easily do this at other times I find it more difficult then it is that I get discouraged and think that it would be easier for me to learn a lesson and recite it myself than to see that a half dozen mischievous girls get theirs. I have a class of little boys in the Infant Department just learning to read. I enjoy teaching them very much for I can easily keep their attention beside it is encouraging to me to watch their improvement. We had last term fifteen family scholars. I think one will seldom find so pleasant a company of girls as were gathered here." She also writes about creating a literary society for her students: "Miss Jennings who is ever planning something for the benefit of the pupils suggested last term that we should form a "Literary Association" whose object should be the improvement of its members in the arts of Reading Writing Criticism and Conversation.".She generally appoints for each evening one young lady to write an essay another a tale another a criticism and another to prepare a review of some book. She also appoints one to recite a piece of poetry and another to read an extract from some book. Two are also appointed to open the discussion of some question; after the discussion has been opened any member has a right to present her arguments. It is in the discussion that the conversational powers are cultivated. The members are called upon for their criticisms upon the compositions as they are read.The meetings have thus far been very pleasant and I think very profitable. At the close of the term the Society gave a public entertainment. An admission was charged that funds might be raised for the purpose of furnishing a reading room with papers periodicals etc. for the benefit of the members of the Society. Beside the money taken in at the door several donations were made to the Society." She adds a few lines on the subjects which she is teaching: "I am going now to commence a course of Historical Reading. I commenced French last term but one teacher who was a German and who also taught music took French.and since then I have not taken it up again though we have a very good teacher." Original crease lines from mailing folds tender. In very good condition. An excellent piece of of history regarding women's education in the United States. unknown books

Unbound. p. 589-594. 9 x 6.5 inches. Article about a school for girls that focuses on physical education Bergman Österberg Physical Training College in Dartford UK. Martina Bergman-Österberg pioneered teaching physical education as a full subject within the English school curriculum with Swedish-style gymnastics at its core. Bergman-Österberg was an advocate of women's emancipation directly encouraging women to be active in both sport and education. Dartford was one of the first physical education instructor's college in England Osterberg had founded one earlier. "Madam Osterberg's is intended to be a training-school for the body . Its raison d'etre to produce as nearly as may be women who shall be physically perfect."

Original paper wraps. 15 x 11 inches. 80 pages. Large color image of fall foliage on front cover. Originally belonged to Marjorie O. Walker of Woodridge NY. Some of the clippings are annotated with a few lines identifying friends and classmates in the articles: "this is one of my classmates" and "they're all swell singers". Includes documents from both Oswego State Normal School and later material from Oswego State Teachers College which the school was renamed in 1942 when it began to grant 4-year bachelor's degrees. 1939-1940 Report card with classes in Child Development History of civilization Composition and Speech Intro to Science Art 102 Essentials of Music and Recreational Activities.

Other ephemera includes newspaper articles on Epsilon Pi Tau fraternity Sigma Pi Rho sorority and many on campus music groups. Many typed correspondence and notices regarding the Bel Canto singing group on campus of which the album owner was a member. Halloween Party invitation.<br/><br/>Numerous clippings from before and after America entered WWII refer to escalating tensions fears and home front defensive preparations. A 1941 headline reads "Co-operation is needed to bring victory in War / Dr. Salisbury says Educational Institutes would be hit if Nazis should win." Interesting that was printed in February 1941 before the US formally declared war. That same month there's another clipping calling on male students at Oswego to register for the selective service the Draft. An article from early 1942 declares "Better type of community seen as a result of war" and goes on to say: "Whether Oswego is bombed or not the air raid warden set-up an build a better type of community both now and in future years when peace comes." Other clippings from the months following the Pearl Harbor attack give a glimpse into the deep-seated fears that Americans felt in the early days of WWII: "Bombing of our Cities Expected by Defense Head.We must expect more ships sinking off our shores more military reverses and bombing of our cities." The war effort even affect construction plans at the school. In January 1941 there was a major fire that destroyed parts of campus and by the following year "War holding up Normal School's Building Program / Unable to get materials for remodeling auditorium new dormitory." Armistice Day program for 1941 presented in conjunction with the American Legion and US Coast Artillery. <br/><br/>The State University of New York at Oswego was founded in 1861 as the Oswego Primary Teachers' Training School; this institution embraced and popularized some of the most innovative teaching methods of the day. The school led the Oswego Movement of educational reform in the United States which sought to emphasize that every aspect of the child's life contributed to the formation of their personality character and capacity to reason. These educational methods were child-centered and based on individual differences sense perception and the student's self-activity. In 1942 the New York state legislation elevated Oswego from a Normal School to the 4-year bachelor's degree-granting Oswego State Teachers College. In 1948 Oswego became one of the State University of New York's charter members. To meet the expanded need for specialized instruction the institution broadened its academic perspective to become a full-fledged arts and sciences institution in the SUNY system and featuring a range of liberal and professional studies by 1962. Pages are thin with a few very small closed tears at edges. In very good condition. unknown books

Women Employment Automobile
Independence through Motor Cars in the Age of Woman Suffrage
Early Women's Liberation and the Automobile in the Age of Suffrage. Collection of 4 pieces tracing the new path to independence gained by women with the invention of the automobile. Coming of age at the same time as the suffrage movement was reaching full swing the new technology offered by the automobile allowed women not only a newfound sense of freedom but the ability to travel unimpeded to demonstrate mastery of a new technology and even opened careers in mobility. This collection's vintage pieces include rare printed material on women and the automobile a signed license letters and photos from women who drove right over gender barriers explore the new world opening to women in the 20th century. <br/><br/>Leading up to the 20th century automobiles became a symbol of women's increasing social mobility and financial independence. Car makers and dealers realized that a significant number of women wanted and were capable of purchasing their own cars; and so they developed vehicles and marketing campaigns specifically for the female population. This collection's early 1913 brochure "To the American Woman" represents this trend and it declares that "the automobile . is of the greatest use to the woman.because of the importance of her work a woman's need for saving time and effort is imperative." The car saved wives and mothers time as they executed familial duties. It also provided some single women with independent incomes. As young women purchased their own vehicles some used the technology to support themselves by becoming mechanics and chauffeurs. These women are represented in this collection by a 1923 "Motor Magazine" with coverage on women car owners a vintage photo of the first woman to motor from Africa to London and an original 1929 Professional Chauffeur's License for Vivian Pickard. Pioneering women like those in this collection overcame gender barriers by increasing their mobility taking advantage of opportunities for mechanical and technical education thus opening new possibilities for women in transportation technology. unknown books

Bill for Limiting Child workers Hours in Factories 1873

Manchester: John Heywood Excelsior Printing Works 1873. 32 pages. First edition. 8 1/4 x 5 in. Original paper wrappers. Includes three data tables in appendix regarding worker mortality rates. Liberal Party politician A.J. Mundella famous for his defense of safety bills and public education for all children speaks on unsafe working conditions and "shameful treatment" of laborers; he cites high mortality rates for women and child workers and includes mortality rate information on newborn infants who suffered neglect when their mothers were forced to return to work days after giving birth: "the return of the mother to the mill was a sentence of death on the child."
