‎Women midwives‎

‎Four 18th century decrees for Mainz School of Midwifery‎

‎Childbirth Midwives were responsible for the safe delivery of the foetus. Their work could be a steady and chosen occupation. Initially there was no formal training or the need to obtain a license but this changed within Europe in the 1700's since some town authorities recognized the need for trained midwives in order to protect the safety of the public. In contrast to the 'norm' of the 15th and 16th centuries midwives were women concerned with public affairs since they were employed by the municipal authorities and were entitled to a salary. They were also paid by their private clients. Hence in a male oriented society midwives -who came from the lower middle class were called to challenge gender divisions. <br/><br/>Four decrees printed in German block lettering related to the Mainz School of Midwifery from 1784-1785. 5 sheets 12 ½ x 7 ½ in. Decrees relate to registration exam protocols and professor approbation's issued by Baron von Frankenstein. Documents contain handwritten notes at bottom. Light scattered foxing and thumb-soiling. Horizontal crease in all sheets. Very good condition. unknown books‎

‎Women / Education. Gilchrest Florence Elinor 1906 1997 Compiler‎

‎RUSSELL SAGE COLLEGE SCRAPBOOK 1923 - 1927. Compiled by a Student‎

‎Troy NY 1927. Green cloth album bound with a leather cord with emblem of the college and Ms. Gilchrest's name stamped in gilt to the front board. Mostly tan or light gray wove paper leaves with a center section of sturdier gray paper leaves for photographs. Moderate wear to extremities damp-spots to front board near joint; few leaves chipped to edges; some biopredation to bottom edge of last section of leaves not affecting the archived material; few items loose or apparently detached and missing. Some heavier/bulkier items i.e. a lollipop several candles a Chesterfield cigarette etc. show evidence of wear from pressure and movement. Material and notations generally clean well-preserved and legible albeit with fold-lines or other signs of use. Gd condition overall. Printed title leaf plus 35 scrapbook leaves 10 unused. B/w photographs ranging in size from ~2-1/2" x 1" cutout photos of particular individuals to ~4-1/2" x 2-3/4" with the majority averaging ~3-1/2" x 2-1/2". Additional b/w class photo 7-7/8" x 9-1/2" laid in at the rear in glassine envelope. 11-3/4" x 16-1/2" <br/><br/>Founded in 1916 by suffragist Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage with the assistance of Eliza Kellas Russell Sage College was created with the intention to provide an education in the "practical arts" and as such was "one of the very first institutions to offer women the means of economic and social independence through preparation for professional careers" per the Sage College website. This scrapbook documents the experience of Florence Elinor Gilchrest a member of the class of 1927 who majored in French and English and if various notes and comments in the scrapbook are any indication became a teacher after graduation. The scrapbook presumably purchased from the college for the purpose of a student recording her time there is divided up into four major sections: 7 leaves printed with columns for the name address date and comments of various friends and fellow students on each page 3 leaves unused; 8 leaves for theater events 3 pages of which are printed with columns for the name location comments etc. of each performance and filled out by hand by Ms. Gilchrest with the rest containing affixed programs for some 45 performances; 8 sturdier leaves for photos containing 48 b/w photos and 3 b/w photo reproductions of the school grounds on 4 leaves 4 leaves left blank; and 11 leaves documenting the assortment of other activities accomplishments etc. of Ms. Gilchrest's student career 3 leaves blank. Florence Elinor Gilchrest who went by her middle name Elinor appears to have been well-liked socially active in a variety of school and local events and a good student serving as an English tutor in her senior year. 67 classmates wrote notes to her in the beginning "friends and comments" section the theater section is filled to bursting and the miscellany at the end traces her first initiation dinner a letter for which strictly instructs her to wear a midi and dark skirt and say nothing whatsoever at the meal and below which she has written "And I didn't even laugh!" through to her graduation ending on a postscript of news articles about Sage Hall burning in 1928 after she had left. Although many of the photos are uncaptioned or are captioned only minimally i.e. "My friends" they depict Elinor and her friends on the school grounds outside various buildings on outings in the woods and in one photo simply captioned "Shame!" skinny dipping in a creek. Of particular note is an original photograph of Robert Frost from his 1925 visit to the college presumed to have been purchased as a souvenir rather than taken by Elinor herself and below which she has written "Celebrities"; two other photographs included in this caption depict unidentified groups of women. A class photo presumably Ms. Gilchrest's is laid in. Among the items included in the scrapbook are: a silver plastic spoon a lollipop several candles a whole Chesterfield cigarette a birthday telegram a copy of the Russell Sage Student Handbook "The Freshman Bible!" various invitations on napkins or in their original envelopes newspaper clippings student publications including "The Quill" a large button a bottle cap candy wrappers a ribbon and dried orchid a Pullman ticket various other travel and theatre tickets and more. All in all a comprehensive and unique record of one woman's experience at a college founded to prepare women for the workforce. hardcover‎

Spine rubbed with light horizontal creasing and a slight bump to the crown. Promotional brochure for Dainty-Maid douching products including the Dainty-Maid Personal Powder "Return Flow" Syringe and travel bag "the only improvement made in douche bags in twenty years."As is often the case in such brochures of this period not douching is presented as the cause for all sorts of "feminine" problems from leathery and/or pimpled skin to emaciation hair loss irritability nagging fatigue etc. It is "one of the great causes of divorce" and as for the title question the answer from a male doctor is "Because you women have shut yourselves in by prudery by a false show of innocence and by a childish faith that somehow you would escape somehow you would be spared somehow you would be protected." A breathtaking example of health "education" as a form of women's repression.OCLC locates 3 copies from different years. [Dainty-Maid, Inc.] hardcover‎

‎Women / Sports. Johnson Rose Subject.‎

‎Photograph of International Speed Skating Champion Rose Johnson‎

‎Chicago n. d. Near Fine. Circa 1921. 9-3/8" x 6-7/8". B/w photograph of Rose Johnson posing in her ice skates wearing a coat bedecked in medals and with five trophies on the ground in front of her; the center trophy bears her name and appears to read "30th Annual Northwest." which we presume is Chicago's 30th Annual Northwest Skating Club tournament held in 1921. Merest hint of wear to corners else fine. Rose Johnson was a women's amateur ice skating star from the late 1910s until at least the mid-1920s and was particularly well-regarded in her native Chicago skating for the Northwest Skating Club and according to newspaper accounts easily winning almost every local race she competed in. She won the women's international skating championship in 1920 and was a fierce competitor in events in the US and Canada throughout the early 1920s.Few photographs of Johnson appear to exist and those we have found are press photos; no records in OCLC mention her. unknown‎
