Women in Medicine Dix Dorothea
Handwritten letter helping a father locate his wounded son following the Siege of Petersburg
Washington DC 1865. 2 page Autograph Letter Signed on one sheet bearing the letterhead of the Office of Women Nurses U.S. Hospital Service measuring 5 x 8" folded. Soiling along main fold and original mailing folds to rear. Offsetting to second page from ink on page 3. Writing at the conclusion of a bloody nine-month campaign that foreshadowed modern trench warfare medical activist and reformer Dorothea Dix gives comfort and support to a panicked father as he searches for his son missing in action. Dix writes in full: "Mr. Otto I have rec'd your letter and have through the records of various offices traced your son to a General Hospital wounded at the last Battle before Petersburg. I hope in a few days to have other information. I should suppose that some Member of his Company or the Regimental surgeon might know something. I will do all I can to learn the facts & write again shortly. Dorothea Dix" Dix had begun her medical career before the Civil War inspired by British prison reformer Elizabeth Fry to play a direct role in social welfare. The cause for which she became best known was related to American asylum reform and for petitioning the U.S. government to ensure the humane and dignified treatment of the mentally ill. By the time war broke out in 1861 Dix had become a nationally known figure and was appointed Superintendent of Army Nurses to the Union Army -- a position for which Elizabeth Blackwell the first female M.D. had also been considered. In this position Dix implemented the Federal army nursing program developing guidelines training nurses and ultimately overseeing over 3000 women Tsui. By August 1865 following the incredibly bloody Siege of Petersburg Dix resigned her position. Thus though she writes to Mr. Otto on her official letterhead the assistance she is providing him was not mandatory or conducted in an official capacity; rather she sees the grief and concern of a father whose son has gone missing and she uses her resources to provide succor and information. The Siege of Petersburg after all lasted from the summer of 1864 to the spring of 1865 forcing men on both sides to fight in trenches and resulting in an estimated 28000 dead and 42000 wounded one of whom was Mr. Otto's son Calkins. A letter with activist content capturing Dix's lifelong commitment to social activism regardless of her title or office. unknown

Original publisher's cloth binding titled in red on spine and front board. Boards a bit rubbed and soiled corners bumped. Faint offsetting to the endpapers. Inscribed by Edith Newsome on the front pastedown: "With the Author's Compliments Edith Newsome. 16.10.23." A scarce book institutionally and in trade OCLC reports only 11 copies in libraries this being the only one currently on the market. Edith Newsome's first major work on nursing produced after she realized that her Red Cross lecture series could not provide complete enough information to train "those who have so nobly responded to the 'call of duty'; to do all that is in their power to tend and succour the brave men of our nation by proving themselves valuable and intelligent helpers." Indeed Newsome's work was released two years into World War I -- the first modern war which brought with it a horrifying number of previously unknown injuries and ailments. In addition to professional nurses women enrolled to assist as Volunteer Aid Detachments VADs because there simply were not enough women with medical educations to serve the nation's need. The present work is a stirring acknowledgement of this. Comprehensive in training VADs and new nurses in field operations it also contains information for women in the home who confronted infection illness or injury and served as domestic caretakers for men returning from the front.

Women in Medicine Photo
Photograph of Female Professor Dissecting Cadaver with Medical Students
Original vintage photograph of a female teacher directing male medical students dissecting a cadaver c. 1890. Black and white 3"x5" with back matting. One woman surrounded by four men lean over a table with a skeleton. Behind them is a chalkboard with anatomical pull down charts. Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years the United States and most industrialized nations did not allow women into the formal practice of medicine until the latter half of the 19th century. This female doctor was part of the first generation formally accepted by medical institution. She wears a medal indicating her importance and perhaps former military involvement. Early photographs of women in medicine are very rare photograph of surgery or dissection much rarer. <br/><br/>Women practiced in the medical field for hundreds of years until new licenser rules established in the Victorian era provided a means for their exclusion. The story of how women reclaimed their role in medicine is one of resourcefulness and determination. In 1849 the first American woman graduated medical school. The path was difficult; few medical schools would accepted them and the reception was not always welcoming. Female doctors were called not only to prove their ability to practice medicine but to justify their unique necessity to the field. Of all the specialties the most embattled for women is surgery; early on they faced a challenge obtaining education training and facilities. A perennial argument was that cadaver dissection necessary to training was inappropriate for the delicate female disposition. However this Victorian-era photograph showing a woman capably participating in cadaver dissection proves that in the words of Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi the best known female doctor in 1891 "It is perfectly evident.that the opposition to women physicians has rarely been based upon any sincere conviction that women could not be instructed in medicine but upon an intense dislike to the idea that they should be. unknown books

Second Annual Announcement and Catalogue of Students of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania.For the Session 1851
Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions.<br/><br/>Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.

Early Photographs Women Scientists Conduct Experiments
Women in Science Two photos of women working with scientific laboratory equipment. Silver gelatin print photographs from 1930 and 1946. Image sizes 3.5 x 5.25" and 3 x 4". In both photographs women scientists work with glass test tubes pipettes and graduated beakers. One photo depicts two women in lab coats working with a series of test tubes standing outside c. 1930; this setting indicates this could possibly be part of an ecology or other environmental science lab. Second photo 1946 shows two women holding pipettes and smiling into the camera. The both wear white uniforms and their names are handwritten in pencil on image verso. During WWII women took up jobs in many sectors to support the country including science research and laboratory work. These women were essential in producing important medicines such as penicillin that were needed during wartime; this work helped pave the way for younger women scientists such as those pictured to have professional opportunities in the postwar period. These women may be in a specialized training program as they both wear all white uniforms. Both very good condition. unknown books

Women in Science Oceanographic Study
Pre-Suffrage Oceanographic Study Photo Album of Marine Biologist Hope Hibbard
Marine Biologist Hope Hibbard. 1917 photo album of scientist Hope Hibbard during her marine biological studies at Woods Hole; an impressive and uncommon relic of an early female scientist working before American women's suffrage. <br/><br/>An album of biologist Hope Hibbard while on a research study program at Woods Hole Massachusetts in 1917. Containing 29 photos the majority of which focus on her study program. Hibbard was an acclaimed scientist specializing in biology cytology zoology and histology. She received numerous academic merits as well as renown for her dedication to promoting women in the scientific sphere and her involvement in associations that forwarded female roles in science and research such as the American Association of University Women AAUW. During her long academic career Hibbard taught at illustrious women's colleges Bryn Mawr and Elmira as well as the forerunner of coeducational colleges Oberlin. In this rare album annotated in white ink by Hibbard we see her as a young student conducting marine biological research from a floating biological laboratory. Hibbard's photos include according to her white ink annotation "Laboratory Launch at Woods Hole" which shows their floating laboratory departing from the harbor "Whitman Cottage where I lived" with other female students during the program her class dredging the ocean floor for samples "on a field trip" a rare photo of a young Hibbard in her college sweater and several labeled photos of Woods Hole locales which would have played a part in her studies including the Great Harbor Little Harbor Marine Biological Laboratory and the U.S. Fish Commission Buildings. Several photos also show Hope and her classmates on day trips and enjoying lobster or the bathing beach. A few photos at the beginning and end of the album show her family. Hibbard is viewed as a crusader for women in the scientific sphere. She held strong opinions about the untapped abilities of women due to both perpetuated stereotypes initialized by men and additional self-deprecating tendencies and she utilized her membership in several academic assemblies to express her viewpoints. Hibbard served as an avid member of the AAUW and the American Association for the Advancement of Science among others and wrote several discourses in which she urged women to integrate marriage and professional endeavors within science rather than abandoning one from the other. Examples of Hibbard's papers include "Vocations for Women and How College Can Prepare Them" 1935 "The Life of Oberlin Women Today" 1937 and "Women in Research." In these multiple dialogues Hibbard communicated her desire for women to overcome social boundaries concerning their position in science. She worked to encourage women to forge their paths independent of discouraging social views and to mold their own journey as both intellectuals and spouses as opposed to exclusively one of the two. Hibbard additionally spearheaded the Oberlin chapter of League of Women Voters while a professor at the institution. Photos and album are in very good condition. Silver gelatin prints lightly toned approximately 2" x 3" inches each. Pages and ink annotation clear and bright. 5" x 8" inch album with black leatherette cover and gold printed title "Photographs". Rubbed at top and bottom but over in very good condition. This is the only early relic we have seen from the life of an important early ambassador of Women in STEM. unknown books
