‎Archive of 4 Autograph Letters 1872-1874 from PA Female Student at one of the Earliest Institutions of Female Education‎

‎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.

‎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."

Student "Kate" writes to her mother about student life and the recent gubernatorial elections and upcoming presidential elections; this significantly shows one woman's interest in political affairs years before she was allowed to vote.

She also writes about going to "the Exposition" and on music performances: "Miss Leonard was so anxious for me to stay a thte musical that I thought too bad to disappoint her after she ahd practiced with me so long."

‎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. The curriculum included algebra arithmetic astronomy botany drawing English composition and grammar French geography guitar history Latin logic "natural and moral philosophy" needlework painting and piano. Today the institution is known as Chowan University. Letters have original fold lines. January letter has chips along edge not affecting text. Small 2 inch portion of May letter cut out.

‎19th Cent Women Education, 1827 America‎

‎One of the Earliest Formal Debates on the Value of Education for Women Concludes that Education is Necessary For All Women and Their Daughters‎

‎1827. Women’s Early Education. Report of the Commission Charged to examine memoirs relative to the education of women. Third Subject. – Morality. By Mr. Philis – Reporter. 1827. Paper boards. Folio size 13 in x 8.5 in. 68 pages of handwritten script in black ink. In this manuscript one of the earliest formal debates on the value of education for women the author radically concludes that formal education for women should be universally accessible: "We think that in whatever condition heaven has placed a woman†the author argues “from the daughter of the Prince to that of the most humble of the subjects there should be a similarity of ideas. When they are wisely explained the elements of Language and Calculations are they not necessary and indispensable to women in all stations†The author then reverses the very argument used against women’s education-- that it is unnatural since motherhood is the only suitable destiny for women-- by arguing that education is exactly suited to  "what nature formed women to be". "She knows she was created to fulfill duties and penetrated with a sense of those she has to perform she makes all she possesses of enlightened ideas talents and fortune concur in accomplishing them. This is what nature formed women to be and such a well directed education would make her. This is what would make a good mother of a family who would well know how to form daughters worthy of imitating her." Education in fact is as naturally suited to women as motherhood and ought to be the province of adult women and girls alike regardless of age or opportunity-- an ideal still worth fighting for even nearly two centuries later. <br /> <br /> It begins with a deceptively leading question: “What is the sort of education most suitable to Woman and the most proper to render them capable of fulfilling their destination as Mothers of familiesâ€Although the opening query is limited by modern standards formal education for many children—boys and girls alike—was not considered necessary in this period let alone for adult women with responsibilities in the home. The argument that education would serve women in their motherly duties was a crucial tool for advocates of womens’ enfranchisement. The Commission judges three memoirs submitted on this topic and this forms the structure of the manuscript: “The Education Best Adapted to Form A Good Mother of A Family Is That Received at Home"; "It is Well Known That The Bad Education Of Women Does More Harm Than That of Men Because the Want of Good Conduct in Man Proceeds Frequently From The Education They Received From Their Mother ."; and "To Instruct the Children One Must Enlighten the Mothers". Thus the manuscript is valuable not only for its radical ideals but for its historical benefit as an overview of attitudes towards women’s education at the turn of the 20th century. Just one year prior in 1826 the first public high schools were opened for girls in New York and Boston; it would be another 13 years until the first woman earned a college Bachelor’s degree.  Cover boards worn with light soiling and scattered stains. Even toning and light soiling throughout. Very good to good condition. unknown‎

‎[ Victorian women and the legal profession ] [ Sir Richard Harington (1861-1931) of Ridlington, 12th Baronet, judge ]:‎

‎Victorian women and the legal profession. Illustrated humorous manuscript valentine poem in the form of a 'Brief for the opinion of Mr Harington' on what would happen if the 'ladies' appeared 'in wig and gown' with 'â€chambers†up in town.'‎

‎London. Dated at head 'February 13th. A.D. 1890'. 3pp. 4to. Bifolium. Folded in customary fashion with 'Brief for the opinion of Mr Harington' on the outside of the packet beneath which in another hand: 'Feby 14th. 1890 Richard Harington Esq'. The author's hand is clearly disguised as is usual with valentines the writing being markedly ornate. There are various crude drawings in the margins ranging from images of a barrister and a woman faces of two women one smoking a pipe to small representations of cigar boxes briefs and books. The text of the poem which is unpublished reads: 'I sit me down and take my pen And write to you this line To greet you as in former years. Upon Saint Valentine Another year has rolled away Since February last And think of all those briefs & balls Now reckoned with the past. And may you of the latter have Enough to renovate you And joined with these this year I hope Ten thousand briefs await you. But I must further add – I trust That “Hawky†will have done And not keep you all sitting up Till some time after one! You say some day that ladies will Appear in wig and gown And armed with blue bags & with briefs Have “chambers†up in Town. Its rather sad to think of it What would you poor men do If your briefs went to Mrs. A Instead of going to you The Judge must be a lady too - I'd quite forgotten that But we've no ladies now-a-days To sit as Portia sat And then to think if all the girls Were so Su-per-i-or There'd be no dancing & no fun All would give way to law. No no I'm a conservative And you'll agree with me Let men remain the barristers And women what they be!' Last four lines and the word 'Su-per-i-or' in red ink the rest in black. From the Harington family papers. Sir Richard Harington of Ridlington 12th Baronet was educated at Eton and Christ College Cambridge. Called to the Bar in 1886 he practised as a barrister on the Oxford Circuit before taking up an appointment as a Puisne Judge in the High Court of Justice at Fort William in Bengal in 1899 serving in that capacity until returning home in 1913. In later years he acted as Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Herefordshire. [ London. ] Dated at head 'February 13th. A.D. 1890'. unknown‎

‎Made-Up Saleslady. Gossiping Wash-Lady. The Laundress. Three comic valentines a.k.a. vinegar Valentines or penny dreadfuls.‎

‎n.p.: ca. 1895 Three leaves two sized 7" x 10" one sized 6 " x 11 ". . Printed in color with caricatures mocking the appearance and character of three working women. With captions in verse. Some creasing and a few small open tears to edges. Two sheets reinforced with document tape on versos. A few stains to "Made-Up Saleslady." Pencil signatures of Clementine Allen to rectos of "Gossiping Wash-Lady" and "Made-Up Saleslady" plus pencil inscription on verso of the former "To Clementine from Lloyd 1895" and date 1895 on verso of the latter. A very good set of these fragile "vinegar valentines." These insulting valentines commonly referred to as vinegar valentines or penny dreadfuls sharing the nickname with Victorian-era dime novels first appeared in the 1840s and maintained a prominent place in pop culture well into the twentieth century. They were produced from the cheapest paper and were designed to be sent anonymously; the inscriptions in the present set however beg the question of whether Clementine sent a vinegar valentine to Lloyd in return. Vinegar valentines were "designed to caricature the shortcomings of the recipient and encapsulate the spirit of the Victorian era…During the 1920s and 1930s they were very popular among schoolboys who were more than happy to give their cranky teacher their grouchy neighbor and bullish schoolgirls. Every trade or profession was represented in terms far from flattering including politicians…Vinegar valentines reflected the spirit of the times between the late 1800s to 1920s with rising taxes wartime and the women's suffrage movement."‎

‎The Education of Undergraduate Women at Princeton: An Examination of Coordinate Versus Coeducational Patterns.‎

‎<p>Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University March 1969 Pale bule printed paper wrappers. . Octavo. With a full-page table comparing educational models. Fading and light foxing to front cover. Very bright and clean throughout. A very good copy of an uncommon item reporting the results of a study on how Princeton University could implement their decision to admit women. A committee of Princeton students faculty and administrators considered five models for incorporating women into the college: 1 "Separate educational institutions joined by a 'treaty' which makes possible some sharing of facilities and faculty"; 2 "Two institutions with separate formal identities but with one faculty identified with the men's college"; 3 "A separate women's residential college or zone within the University"; 4 "A single institution with an established ratio of women to men students but with no separate residential college"; and 5 "A single institution with no established ratio of women to men students." The present item summarizes the characteristics advantages and disadvantages of the five models. Princeton began admitting undergraduate women in the fall of 1969 under the fourth proposed model. The model allowed women to choose between living on campus in designated spaces women-only dorms or women's sections in larger dorms or living off campus and between eating and socializing in communal spaces with men or in their own dorms and private residences. The text reads: "This model avoids any connotations of 'segregation' and thus is attractive on grounds of principle to those who believe it is important that men and women students learn how to know each other simply as 'people'" p. 9.</p> Princeton University,]‎

‎San Francisco: Abell & Priest 1892. Two fine images of pioneering physician Pauline Root dressed in a sari presumably one she wore in Madurai India while working as a doctor for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. <br /> <br /> Root 1859–1944 graduated from the Women's Medical College in Philadelphia and was the first female doctor to hold many posts throughout her working life. She spent seven or eight years in India establishing a Woman's Hospital in Madurai. She left India in 1891 and visited China and Japan before returning to the West Coast of the United States giving talks on her work to Christian groups along the way. She gave a lecture to the Occidental Board of Foreign Missions in San Francisco on February 3 1892 and these photographs are likely to have been taken at that time. <br /> <br /> After returning to the East Coast Root studied surgery at Cornell obtained licenses to practice in Massachusetts and New York and took a position as the resident physician at Smith College. In the 1920s she taught "social hygiene" sex-ed for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. <br /> <br /> Nineteenth century photographs of Dr. Root and other female physicians are uncommon. Drexel University has two poor condition cabinet cards of Root in Japan a few months before she arrived in San Francisco. Both images are fine with medium contrast sepia tones. The albumen silver prints measure 3-3/4 by 7-7/16 inches on 4-1/4 by 6-7/16 inch mounts. The photographer's imprint is "Abell & Priest Bancroft Building / 723 Market St. S.F. Cal."

‎[Abolition Movement – Women Authors] Kemble, Fanny‎

‎ALS by the Author and Actor Fanny Kemble to an Editor Regarding the Publication of an Article‎

‎London United Kingdom 1800. Single four page letter measuring 4 ½ x 7 inches. Near fine. Frances Anne “Fanny†Kemble 1809–1893 was a British actor writer and later abolitionist. After her initial retirement from acting she married Pierce Mease Butler maternal grandson of American Founding Father Pierce Butler. Butler and Kemble lived in Philadelphia but Butler had been deeded three large plantations—and the people enslaved on them—on Butler Island in Georgia. Kemble finally saw the plantations for herself several years into their marriage and during this time wrote Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839 which was critical of the conditions of the enslaved people. Butler forbade Kemble to publish the Journal; the two divorced but it was not published until 1863.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a letter from Fanny Kemble to a publisher or newspaper editor about printing her response to a statement in an article about American slavery likely written following her return to London in 1877. Kemble is frustrated about not having received a reply to her initial note to the publisher which was:<br /> <br /> “in consequence of an article which appeared to me extremely likely to the public judgement upon the subject of American slavery – I was extremely anxious to offer some reply to the statement in that article & wrote to you to beg you could tell me whether you would receive & publish such a communication from me . it contained some references to my own private circumstances which I intended for you & no one else.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the abolitionist movement especially women abolitionists. unknown‎
