‎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

No other copies in institutional or library collection in the US according to OCLC Worldcat. "The daughter may may marry but her husband may die.or be too poor to support her and her children; let her at least be trained beforehand to some possible way of getting her bread." Bessie Rayner Parkes one of the most prominent women's rights activist of her day writes that girls and young women must receive an education or a useful trade in the same way that boys do. "We lay it down as a primary social law conceded by all political economists that a father ought to provide for all his children or give them the means of providing for themselves." She emphasizes how common it is for middle-class women to join the workforce: "Probably every person present has a female relative or intimate friend whom trade-failure the exigencies of a numerous household or the early death of husband or father has compelled to this course; it is the experience of every family." An argument for the importance of skilled and educated women in the work force their place in the market and the challenges that they faced. Repairs to top right corner and right edge of page 1.

‎To the Right Honorable Richard Assheton Cross M.P. Secretary of Sate for the Home Department. 4 pages. 8 x 5 in. In this document women workers express fears regarding proposed labor regulations that would limit their ability to earn and would "restrict the paid labour of all women.or even make all married women half-timers." They claim it is unjust treatment that would harm women workers and pit their marriages at odds with their ability to work: "Your Memorialists assert that it is unjust to place restriction son the labour of unmarried women for the presumed protection of married women or mothers and further that any special restrictions upon the labour of married women is practically a penalty imposed on marriage as regards to the woman." Document that reveals the competing priorities for women factory workers between workplace safety and their earning power. Chipping with small losses along top and right edge.

Steam Printers King's Rd. Chelsea 1874. First edition. 12 pages. Original paper wrappers. 8 x 5 1/4 in. "It is at first sign a very humane sentiment no doubt to assert that married women should be relieved from all hard work because of the duties which maternity casts upon them; but when as that the same time you relieve them of some fifteen shillings a-week without providing any substitute you must not be surprised if they themselves do not view your condescension in the same light."

‎Women Employment Seamstresses and Tailors‎

‎Vintage Photograph of Women Seamstresses and Tailors‎

‎Original vintage photograph of a large group of women seamstresses and tailors at their sewing machines in a factory setting. Sepia. Approximately 5" x 8" with back matting. Rows and rows of women sitting in front of sewing machines gaze into the camera. While single women faced barriers to employment wives and mothers confronted prejudice that put their jobs at risk after marriage and childbirth. As women took advantage of expanded access to jobs with the advent of factory lines a new push was made for job security and upward mobility. The women's employment movement first picked up traction in the industrial revolution as women fought to secure fair hours and wages for female factory workers; In the late 1870s and 80s women's organizations lobbied for safe conditions and job protection for married women and mothers; and through the 20th century expansion of skilled female labor including civil service publishing and medicine. Some of the most radical labor organizing in the West happened thanks to women in the textiles industry as women fought to secure prosperity and safety under new work conditions.

‎Women's Fight for Employment Equality Employed in the Mills‎

‎Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844 -Massachusetts‎

‎Women's Fight for Employment Equality. "Lowell Offering. Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844. Pamphlet. The Lowell Offering was a monthly publication run by women working in the Lowell Textile Mill from 1840-1845. Featuring the women's poetry essays and other literary efforts the magazine gave female factory workers the opportunity to share their creative endeavors; for the women who edited and published the periodical the Lowell Offering also provided demonstrable and employable skills in publishing and journalism. This 1844 edition comes from the penultimate year of the publication. It is the earliest piece in the collection. <br/><br/>Lowell solved the problem of labor at his mills by employing young women between the ages of 15 and 35 who became known as "mill girls". Unlike European industries which had access to "large landless urban populations whose reliance on the wage system gave them few economic choices" American companies had to grapple with a small labor supply because the population was small and most preferred farming their own land and the economic independence that came with it. In order to persuade these young women to work at a mill they were paid in cash once "every week or two weeks". In line with the Boston Associates' worldview the mill girls were encouraged to educate themselves and pursue intellectual activities. They attended free lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Quincy Adams and read books they borrowed from circulating libraries. They were also encouraged to join "improvement circles" that promoted creative writing and public discussion. unknown books‎

‎Very Rare "Woman's Work for Women" 1896‎

‎Woman's Work For Woman A Union Illustrated Magazine Published Monthly by the Women's Foreign Missionary Societies of the Presbyterian Church. Vol. XI No. 1. January 1896. New York. 28 pages. Vertical fold down the center of the booklet with soiling on the front and back cover water damage on the top and right edge of the front cover and small losses on the bottom edge of the back cover. Very rare; OCLC locates no other known copies.<br/><br/>Woman's Work for Woman was published from 1890-1904. The magazine contains articles and updates about life in different missionary locations in Asia South America and the Middle East. With most of the submissions by women and with an all women Editorial Committee this magazine is indicative of some of the most acceptable ways for women to participate in public life in the late 19th century. Women were not allowed to participate in Presbyterian church councils or leadership until the mid-twentieth century but working with the Women's Missionary Societies gave new opportunities for writing organizing and leadership positions. In the late 19th century women who sought work outside the home were often criticized for abandoning family and domestic responsibilities but women who pursued religious work did not face this same criticism since they had an altruistic motive. Working on religious causes allowed women agency and independence that they would not be able to access in other occupations. Very rare; OCLC Worldcat locates no known copies at any library or institution. unknown books‎
