Original stapled pictorial wraps. 4to 10.25†x 7â€. A curious and rare anomalous printing from Fox Syndicate in which the comic interior Cody of the Pony Express does not match the wrappers Women Outlaws. Lacking issue number on the cover and no publication date or copyright notice. This issue is sometimes referred to as "Women Outlaws #0". The first Cody story starts on page 2 but still comprises a full standard 36-page comic.

Released at the height of the postwar boom in Western popular culture the comic positions Cody as a frontier hero navigating sabotage frontier violence and betrayal. As with other Fox titles of the period Cody blends action with sentimentality and features a mix of standalone stories and continuing characters. This first issue is especially notable for it's covers which were originally used for another Western themed Fox comic "Women Outlaws" Issue no. 7.<br /> <br /> The comic includes five story segments: “Wagons of Death†in which Cody discovers a devastated wagon train and must avenge his dying friend; “Powdersmoke Payoff†in which Cody’s efforts to secure a freight contract are disrupted by hired guns; “Sleepy Time Six-Shooters†a tale highlighting the physical toll of postal duty on the prairie; “Jim Coulter’s Race for Life†involving a desperate dash through Indigenous territory; and the two-page prose narrative “Family Feud.†Comic exhibits wear and discoloration to wrappers with some chipping to spine. Interior with two small ink mark to margins of page 1 otherwise clean and complete with minimal wear. Overall good to very good condition. This issue with anomalous wrappers is valuable not just for its rarity but also as a material example of the fluid and sometimes rushed publishing practices of Golden Age comic producers. unknown‎

‎Women Education, Elmira NY‎

‎Elmira NY Photograph Album from One of the first Female Colleges which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man 1862‎

‎Women Education Photo Album Elmira NY Female College Class of 1862 album. 42 original photographs each aprox 1.5 x 1.25 in. Nearly all photos are identified with handwritten captions. 114 pages 53 pages overall have been used for photos writing or both. All entries dated 1861-1862. Light brown leather boards. 8 x 5.25 in. Titled on cover with gilt design of an autograph book and a quill pen surrounded by ivy “Autographs.â€Â  The book is full of signatures and small oval portraits of the girls who were the 1862 class of Elmira College. Along with signatures of her classmates the owner of this book has some signatures from people of the town of Elmira New York Augustus W. Cowles President of the collegeand other other instructors. One page has been illustrated with the outline of a pile of letters into which girls have written their names addresses and messages. It would be several decades more before Academic yearbooks as we know them now with photographs and names of individual students and graduates became common. At this time the typical “Annual†was a small catalog that acted as a memento of students attending and also as advertising with general business catalog information concerning the school inside.  School photos of any kind were highly uncommon.  This student’s personally made yearbook containing photographs and names of a large portion of her classmates as well as teacher’s and college president is an extremely unique women’s educational history item. Leather on spine is mostly absent or pulling away though internal hinges are sound. Good to very good condition.<br /> <br /> The New York-area college is the oldest still in existence which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man. Elmira College was first conceived on in 1851 with the intention of creating a college that would grant degrees to women equal to those of men. The first students arrived in October 1855 though the rooms had not yet been completely furnished and the furnace was not yet working. Also not all of the students were ready for college-level work. In September 1855 Rev. Augustus W. Cowles visited the campus and the following year was offered the position of president. Vassar's first president modeled the acceptance requirements and curriculum of his school upon those of Elmira. The members of the first graduating class received diplomas in 1859 only 2 years before this album was created. The college faced a difficult beginning. The student body was minuscule; in 1884 only three students were in the graduating class. Two reasons for this situation were the national tumult caused by the Civil War and the opening of other colleges that admitted women.  Dr. Cowles believed that a problem was the perception that Elmira was only on the level of a boarding school. He stressed hiring better professors to secure larger graduating classes. . unknown‎

‎Pamphlet "On the Education of Women" Proposing a National Movement London 1871‎

‎On the Education of Women. A Paper Read by Mrs. William Grey at the Meeting of the Society of Arts." William Ridgeway: London 1871. Pamphlet. 64 pages. 5.5" x 8" inches. Maria Georgina Grey was a British writer and women's education advocate. In this paper she writes "The subject I have specially to call your attention to this evening is the low condition of female education the inadequate provision made for it out of the endowments of the country and the difficulty of obtaining support from the general public for any scheme having for its object the higher education of women." Much of the paper concerns education for girls as a path to long-term freedom "It is easy to laugh at old maids it is easy to praise them as the sisters of mercy of life it is not easy to measure the amount of silence suffering of slow wasting away of hope of energy of faculty as the woman sees her youth passing away the boundless horizon of earlier years narrowing more and more middle age finding her as helplessly dependent in her father's house as unable to gratify a single taste to follow a single pursuit which does not chime in with his fancies as she was at 18 or left along to struggle untrained and unarmed in the fierce battle of life for the very means of living." In the paper she proposes the formation of a national movement for promoting women's education "Such an Association might be represented in London by a central committee connected with local committees formed in every considerable country town. By common action from all these different centres a body of evidence might be collected on every point connected with the better education of girls of all classes." Grey went on to form just such an organization the National Union of the Improving the Education of Women of All Classes later renamed the Women's Education Union. The union of which Grey was an active member established the Girls' Public Day School Company in 1872 to provide new schools for girls across social classes. Front and back soft covers missing.

Lewisburg Seminary was the female branch of the University at Lewisburg now known as Bucknell University. In all of her letters student Libbie Grant talks on the importance of her education. In the first letter she offers to help her recently widowed brother but that school was also a priority for her: "If you want to keep house the rest of the winter I will come tome and do my best. It will seem so hard to board right away. I don't know how I can stay here all next term without seeing any of you but shall content myself if you don't wish me to come. It is for my own benefit to get an education." In the January letter she lists subjects she is taking in school: "I study Grammar Physiology Geography and Astronomy." She gives a lengthier update in the February 3 letter: "I get along very well in my studies much better than I did last term.  Miss Brown said there was a mistake made in my report and Scripture is excellent also Spelling.  I do not get as homesick as I did last term." In one letter Libbie writes on how nervous she is regarding her future: "When I think of the future I feel sad to think I must wander from place to place." She is likely referring to various places where she would work as a teacher. In the February 13 letter her teacher Miss Brown adds a line about Libbie's next steps likely where she will work as a new teacher: "I trust she will succeed in getting a pleasant school for the summer."<br/><br/>Libbie also writes on financial matters requesting money from her brother for tuition and clothing. She stresses the necessity of new clothes which seem "unnecessary" to her brother Robert Grant residing in rural upstate New York; this highlights some one of the different social challenges that young women from rural backgrounds faced while living in and attending schools in cities. In the February 13 letter she writes about how she needs money for clothes to wear and new shoes; she is clearly distressed as her brother residing in Neversink NY seems unconvinced that new shoes and Church appropriate clothing is necessary. "I write this with my eyes full of tears for I know your thoughts. I know you think these re all unnecessary. They would be if I were home and I could get along with less." Miss Brown's addendum on the following page affirms Libbie's need of money and assures her brother that these items are necessary and his sister is "exceedingly economical." Lewisburg Seminary was originally the female branch of the University at Lewisburg which later became Bucknell University. In 1852 the Female Institute was established to exclusively educate women at the University. All letters in very good condition.
