Very good condition.<br/><br/>The novel takes place in medieval England. "The setting sun was sending a flood of light over the hills and distant mountains and over the old castle of Dunkirk making the river Wharfe shine like gold when a little boat shot swiftly out of a turn in the river and came towards the castle. There were two men in it the older man was seated at the stern wrapt in a long dark cloak and having his hap pulled over his face so that only a pair of dark twinkling gray eyes showed below it" page 1.<br/><br/>One of the protagonists is a beautiful teenager about the same age as the author along with a cast of other characters including Lords and Dukes. "She was a most lovely girl. A quantity of dark brown hair that curled around a neck and face of most lovely form and complexion and a mouth of beautiful expression helped to form a face both sweet and lively But the most striking feature was a pair of almost black eyes fringed with long dark lashes. They were full of expression sometimes merry with laughter and again deep and thoughtful. Rose Murray was about seventeen years old at this time she was niece of the Lord of Dunkirk and having hardly any relations except him had always lived with him. Ever since she could remember those old towers had protected and sheltered her" page 8. "Rollin entered a large hall with a huge staircase on one side. Going up the stairs he passed into a passage and after numerous turning and ups and downs he opened a great door and passed into a good sized room. In the middle of this was a round table and on it were papers and books. At one end of the room was a recess with a window with a broad window slit. There was a little shelf on which were a few written books and writing materials.As Rollin entered a gentleman with a paper in his hands look up from his writing and smiling said 'Well Rollin have you had a pleasant time at London and what have you learned while you were gone of the queen's intentions and of what the Duke of York is going to do'" page 5-6.<br/><br/>The tale has adventure suspense and a happy ending. "The patched eye one seemed anxious to go on by his motions urging them to proceed. Rose watched him closely and at last saw him while his companion's backs were turned hold the lantern in such a way as to let his whole figure be distinctly seen and motion them to go back quickly it seemed so to Rose at least. She told this to her companion who was anxiously considering what should be done next" page 99. "And now for the next hour or two before the gray dawn came Lord John and Rose sat talking over all that had happened while they had been apart" page 149. unknown books

First edition in printed wrappers. 6.5" x 10" inches. 69 pages.

The Lesbian Herald was published monthly and covered campus and alumnae news in addition to providing a place for student and alumnae authors to share short stories poems and editorials. Also includes original advertisements. In good condition. Small tears to wrappers but pages clean bright and tightly bound with nice bold text. unknown books

Photo Album: a Life of Freedom & Sacrifice: The Young Teachers of Cornwall College 1920's
Women's Education. Photo Album: Truro Cornwall Teacher Training College. Truro Cornwall UK: 1925-1927. Oblong octavo. Bradbound brown boards patterned for leather effect "Album" stamped in gilt on cover. Modest rubbing to the front hinge and slight bumping at the corners. 164 glossy-finish snapshot photographs of the female college students and their life at Cornwall in a variety of sizes including 3.5" x 5.5" 2.5" x 4.5" 3.5" x 2.5" inches both black and white and sepia. Most are captioned in white ink. Slight warp to some photographs from being pasted to the pages and occasion residue from fingerprints. Beautiful impressionistic portraits of the life of these hopeful young teachers in Cornwall. In addition to the many vivid photos of the teachers going for outings and picnicks "Help yourself to the cream" and lively portraits "the long and short of it" under a photograph of a tall young woman smiling ruefully there are photographs of the ancient city of Cornwall which carry a beautiful spectral quality. <br/><br/>In the 1920s teaching was one of the only pursuits available to women who wanted economic enfranchisement outside of waged domestic service. However there were many restrictions placed on female teachers; The women we see smiling in these photos although choosing liberation in one sense also faced much personal sacrifice. These women had to live morally exemplary lives by the rigorous contemporary standards since they were entrusted to raise the youth. Additionally until 1944 in the UK no married women were allowed to work as teachers. If a woman teacher married she had to resign from her job; if she was already married she was sacked. Some women found a way around the marriage bars by marrying in secret and then living apart from their husband or by having a very long engagement. Most female teachers however remained single in a time when marriage and motherhood signified adult female identity. The tensions between two identities-- that of the professional teacher and that of the feminine woman-- coupled with the influence of the suffrage movement and systematic unfair treatment in the teacher's unions led to teachers becoming some of the most ardent feminists of the movement. unknown books

Women's Education Movement: Wheaton Female Seminary Catalog 1869. Chronological Catalog "tracing the history of the school from 1834 to the publication date of 1869. Blue wrappers. Founded in 1834 Wheaton is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States. Wheaton's founding was brought about when Eliza Wheaton Strong the daughter of Judge Laban. Wheaton died at the age of thirty-nine. Eliza Baylies Chapin Wheaton the judge's daughter-in-law persuaded him to memorialize his daughter by founding a female seminary. The family called upon noted women's educator Mary Lyon for assistance in establishing the seminary. Lyon created the first curriculum with the goal that it be equal in quality to those of men's colleges. She also provided the first principal Eunice Caldwell. Wheaton Female Seminary opened in Norton Massachusetts on 22 April 1835 with 50 students and three teachers. Mary Lyon and Eunice Caldwell left Wheaton to open Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in 1837 now Mount Holyoke College. Following their departure Wheaton endured a period of fluctuating enrollment and frequent changes in leadership until 1850 when Caroline Cutler Metcalf was recruited as the new principal. Mrs. Metcalf made the hiring of outstanding faculty her top priority bringing in educators who encouraged students to discuss their ideas rather than to memorize facts. The most notable addition to the faculty were Lucy Larcom who introduced the study of English Literature and founded the student literary magazine The Rushlight ; and Mary Jane Cragin who used innovative techniques to teach geometry and made mathematics the favorite study of many students.

1910 Women Education Medal
Scarce 1910 Girls' Education Award Medal in Geography
Scarce 1910 French girls' education medal for excellence in Geography. Bronze with diameter of 1.75". The front of the medal depicts Terpsichore the Greek muse of education seated beside a pedestal of laurel wreaths; in her outstretched right hand is a laurel wreath prepared as a reward for excellence. On the back of the medal is engraved in part: "Association Pour L'Ensegnement Secondaire des Jeunes Filles a la Sorbonne.Geographie.1910" in English: Association For The Secondary Education of Young Women at the Sorbonne.Georgraphy.1910<br/><br/>This medal awarded for excellence in the study of geometry is quite scarce.

1844 Female student Autograph Letter from Wheaton Female Seminary in MA - Describing Life in a very Early Female Education Institution
19th c. Women Education Autograph letter signed by student Sarah Hooker at Wheaton Female Seminary in Norton MA. Dated Dec. 24 1844. Four pages folded from a single extra large sheet with original wax seal still attached. Letter addressed to her mother in Falmouth MA. Place identified as "Norton Seminary Boarding House" a boarding house for students at Wheaton Female Seminary now known as Wheaton College founded in Norton MA in 1834. The letter specifically mentions founder and President Mr. Wheaton: Cousin M's sickness is really quite an event. She does not seem to gain strength at all. Mr. Wheaton who loves her as if she were his own daughter is almost discouraged." She writes on her academic studies: "I have everything convenient for studying but good pens." <br/><br/>She also shares her concerns about the quality of her schoolwork and writing as well as social aspects of school life such as making friends and getting along with her roommate. "I dread my compositions here more than anything. Some of the young ladies write so beautifully. I am very glad you have decided to let me take lessons. I wanted to move on account of improving in my singing. I practice the scales. I am going to try to improve all my advantages to the utmost. When I first came here the girls the wild ones thought as I was "green" I would be a good tool for their jokes. So every moment there was a good opportunity one of them in particular would say or do something to make me appear confused. It would come frequently at table and I invariably made her appear exceedingly mean. Not intentional but in clearing myself I made her of course look blank.There does not seem to be one of the girls who dislike me. There are many first rate ones." "My room-mate I like a little better.She is a very pleasant girl. She loves to have fun and frolic as well as ever. Poor girl she has had to go through the fire like the rest of us." Not uncommon for this time portions of the document have crossed text in order to maximize writing space and indicating that the student wrote a longer letter than the page could hold. Original fold lines and light toning. In very good condition. A unique and personal piece of early Female Education history. unknown books

One of the girls is going home Saturday. She is exposed and has never had them & she is going home to have them. This is a mighty poor place to get sick. I never thought the Measles ended in such serious things as they do sometimes that is if you get cold. The girls were talking about the different way in which they effect persons. The mumps are raging too." She also writes on dormitory life and missing her family. "I am very homesick & got the blues but then that is nothing new as I have them all the time & I can't get rid of them mo matter what I do. My box is all gone but a little piece of bitters but we are not in a hurry to get rid of that for we will not get any more so good for a while. Those Quinces were splendid that I made much better than I expected they would be. When I wrote to England I sent them my picture which I had taken in this fall" The Young Ladies' Institute was chartered in 1858 and later developed into The Shepardson College for Women; in 1900 Shepardson was incorporated into Denison University.

Last page has cross-text writing over it a creative way that writers with limited paper supply could make space for a few more lines.

19th c. Women Education Archive
Archive of 4 Autograph Letters 1872-1874 from Woman Student at one the earliest institution of female education in the United States
Small archive of 4 Autograph Letters by a student from Moravian Seminary in Bethlehem PA. Dated 1872 to 1874. All letter from student Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rickster to her friend Dora Campbell of York PA. Each letter is 4 pages 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ in. Each letter comes with original mailing envelope. Letters dated Sept. 30 1872; Feb. 25 1873; Feb. 7 1874; and April 6 1874. Lizzie writes on schoolwork and social activities such as winter sleigh rides. She writes to her friend about translating German words and phrases and Lizzie excitedly anticipates getting her photograph taken so that she can exchange portraits with Dora. <br/><br/>Writing about her studies and future beyond seminary in letter from Sept. 30 1872: "It did seem very funnie sic to resume my studies but I as it had to be done I made up my mind to hurry and do it so that I can get through soon. Then for a long rest from sorry and care free. I remember how you used to look forward to that time but yet your school days were your best days for when you leave school then trouble commences if not at once very soon and then we get married and have little ones to take care of and various other duties making our life one of anxiety and care." In the 1873 letter Lizzie mentions German translations for the first time: "Dora your 'Brief' translated from German means letter." She mentions German translations in the next letter as well as other studies: "Let me see if you can make out this German until next time and if you can write and tell me what it means. I have to take a singing lesson this afternoon and I haven't' looked at my piece since last time." In the final letter Lizzie writes about school and anticipates an upcoming visit between the friends. "Our school will begin again on Wednesday.I'm am going to have some pictures taken this term and if you give me some of yours I will give you one of mine. Just think three months until I see you. I can scarcely wait." The handwriting in the final letter is much looser possibly since this student had just been on school vacation or perhaps showing growing closeness and more informal relationship between the friends. <br/><br/>The Moravian Seminary traces its roots to the earliest institution of female education in the United States-the Bethlehem Female Seminary founded in 1742 by Countess Benigna Zinzendorf. <br/>BFS originally only provided primary education but due to overwhelming demand for secondary education institutions for women in 1785 BFS reorganized as a secondary educational institution that became known as the Moravian Female Seminary. In 1913 the Seminary officially became a College and in 1954 merged with a male institution to become the coeducational Moravian College. All letters tender along original fold lines from mailing. In very good condition. An incredible and early Female Education history. unknown books

Archive of 5 Letters and notes from 1878 a Girl Student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute one the earliest institution of female education in the United States
19th c. Women's Education Archive consist of 4 Autograph Letters and 1 Autograph Note by a girl student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute in Murfreesboro NC. 1878. The 4 handwritten letters are addressed from Josephine Somers to her younger brother "Allie" in Matthews County VA. The letters are dated Jan. 1878; April 14 1878; May 1878; and June 9 1878. In the first letter Josephine writes on school life and encourages her young brother's education: "I pay you very many complements for your writing. I think you can write very well. You have improved very much and I hope you may continue to improve. You must keep trying to learn. I am trying to learn all I can. I study with all my might I think I am doing very well." In the May letter she writes on school life and social outings: "I went on the excursion and had a very good time. We went on Saturday so you see we did not take any school time to go. We went to Chowan County and we went ashore and had a picnic we had ice lemonade and cake besides other things." She also writes about the upcoming journey home at the end of the schoolyear: "I expect I will have to come home by myself. Yates is going to Princesann Princess Anne Co. after school is over. Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know. The final letter has a more alarmed tone as Josephine urgently asks her brother for information on their Mother's health. "Aunt Becky wrote me a letter last week and said Mother was sick and I have been very uneasy ever since. You must write soon and tell me if she has stopped her chills. I was sorry to hear that she was sick. You must tend to her good until I come home and then I will take care of her."<br/><br/>The Autograph note is filled with notes poetry names of her classmates and her school and doodles on two sides of a sheet of paper. At this time handwritten memory albums were a common way for female classmates to remember their school times together. Young ladies would live at boarding houses or dormitories while pursuing their studies and the lines of poetry on this page would have been copied into pages of friend's keepsake books before they parted ways for their hometowns at the end of the academic year. The May 1878 letter directly addresses the heartache at leaving school friends behind when returning home. "Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know." <br/><br/>Chowan Baptist Female Institute was founded in 1848 as a four-year women's college first opening its first class with just 11 students.

As we are all ''young ladies" Mrs. Cowles has given us permission to sit up till quarter past twelve. I was commissioned to provide refreshments arrange the table etc. and really I feel quite proud. None of the girls except my assistant have as yet seen it and I know they do not expect to see quite such a grand affair grand for Boarding school . " New Years Eve don't come but once a year" I hear one of the girls exclaiming. I know they are coming to see why I am so long- Sure enough- and now they are gone." <br/><br/>About her early writing attempts: "I have had a letter come from an old teacher of mine. And I know you won't think me vain if I send it to you for as you fly so hard to have me do well and are the means of my enjoying myself so much and giving what enjoyment I am able to others around me I know it will please you to see that I sometimes succeed . she like Mrs. B is not ordinary woman . she is a very finely educated lady. and I feel pleased that she should like my feeble endeavors. The lady Miss Briggs who writes the note enclosed has been composition teacher here for a long time. You would hardly judge from this not which is far from a good letter from her that was very easy and elegant with her pen. She has written three or four prize essays and won the prizes."<br/><br/>Ipswich Female Seminary was founded in Massachusetts in 1828 and the school's focus was on preparing girls for careers as teachers and missionaries.

19th c. Women's Education Autograph Letter Signed from female student dated May 25 1854. 4 pages folded from single sheet. 6.5 x 5.25 in. Written by student Eloise Hemstreet to her parents. She writes about her school which she feel is one of "the best of schools and one of the edens of the earth." She writes on her interest in astronomical observations and how she is looking forward to looking "at the eclipse through the telescope." She mentions "the college" and talks about the health and wellness of both male and female classmates at the Institution. Additionally she mentions that the College was getting a new roof.

In the latter half of the 19th century women in America had growing access to higher education especially in the professional training to become teachers.

19th cent Women Friendship album
Young Women Handwritten Friendship album - 1825-1894
19th cent Women Friendship album with poems and inscriptions written in many hands to a New England young lady. 1825-1830. Original paper boards. 7.5 x 6 in. 92 pages of handwritten inscriptions from numerous different individuals. Entries dated from 1825-1894. Friends included their location when they made the entry listing cities and towns from all over New England including Boston Amherst and Burlington VT. Mary Newton a young lady. Many of the entries are title "To a Friend" or "To Miss Newton." "Joy cannot claim a purer bliss Nor griefs den from stain more dear Than female friendship's meeting kiss Than female friendship's parting tear". Some such as "Song" are rhyming lines of poetry: "It is not for your eagle eye Though bright it glance may be It is not for your sunny smile That Mary I love thee-". The poems were usually not original but would have heavy themes of memory and sentimentality. "I looked and behold! A dark cloud met my sight But soon its thick mantle was blended with light For the sun's glorious ray had now shone from on high And light was the hue of the once clouded sky; So may all they hopes when with sorrow o'ercast Shine bright when the cloud of affliction has past Till thy spirit shall sick a pure mansion on high Where sorrow worn wanderer never heave a sigh."<br/><br/>One entry hints at the different jobs which may lead female friends to part ways. "Farewell my dear Mary the time is at hand That we must be parted from this social band Our several employments now call us away Our parting is needful and we must obey." She also writes on the ways in which women and men have equal rights and needs in a marriage. "I have always admired that receipt for making a good husband which enjoins that the wife should always greet him at this own door with smile. These smiles are cheap things; but when they spring from benign temper and an affectionate heart they penetrate all the hidden and primary sources of action-wives are also entitled to the greetings of their husbands. Women hold the keys of affection." Some of the poems had cheeky messages that could only be shared between close friends: "Says the rosebud to the bee 'Pray bee what does want of me" Blushing charmer 'May I help it' 'Do and welcome says the rose' And protest it as it flows' So the rose had bud and the bee Sealed a . of amity But a worm without a wing Enjoying then so sweet a thing Slyly unsuspecting stole And ate the rose bud to the soul." With a note below that "Bees are Husbands worms are Beaus." Light even toning heavier on first few pages. Some entries quite faded yet still legible. Original paper boards worn separated from sheets. Good condition. unknown books
