‎Women Education Handwritten Album Memory album from student at Female Academy in Springfield MA. A memorabilia recording many aspects of the first major movement of women's education in the United States brings depth to a movement that was groundbreaking in its time but today is largely at risk of disappearing from the historical record.

Two original illustrations of a bird one in color. Most entries are signed from schoolmates in Springfield MA. Memory albums held autographs sentiments and reminiscences of friends and schoolmates similar to yearbooks today. Young women particularly those finishing their time at a female academy and preparing to leave their school friends tended to be the ones to create friendship albums. Included is an entry from teacher Myra F. Hoffman who writes: "That your work in life may be always as cheerfully and faithfully performed as now is the wish of your friend and teacher."  Many inscriptions directly reference school life. A entry from 1877 is titled "Schoolmate": "In your list of real friends My name I wish to see. And if a lasting friend you wish That friend you will find in me." Others sign off "Your Seat-mate" and one of 1882 is from "Your Sincere Friend and Classmate" and another "Friend and Schoolmate." One quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Do that which is assigned thee" says Emerson "and though canst not hope too much or dare too much." Interestingly one entry from 1877 entries is signed "Shang Hai China."  Loss to leather spine though hinges are sound. Front and back cover are attached. Good to very good condition. unknown books‎

Martina Bergman-Österberg pioneered teaching physical education as a full subject within the English school curriculum with Swedish-style gymnastics at its core. Bergman-Österberg was an advocate of women's emancipation directly encouraging women to be active in both sport and education. Dartford was one of the first physical education instructor's college in England Osterberg had founded one earlier. "Madam Osterberg's is intended to be a training-school for the body . Its raison d'etre to produce as nearly as may be women who shall be physically perfect."

‎Women Education Teachers College‎

‎Scrapbook from Woman Studying at Oswego State Teachers College in NY 1941-1942 with 155 pieces of ephemera report cards notes newspaper clippings‎

‎Women Education Scrapbook from a woman student at co-educational Oswego State Teachers College NY filled with 155 pieces of ephemera including newspaper clippings full-issues of the campus paper ticket stubs programs invitations and more. 1941-1942. Original paper wraps. 15 x 11 inches. 80 pages. Large color image of fall foliage on front cover. Originally belonged to Marjorie O. Walker of Woodridge NY. Some of the clippings are annotated with a few lines identifying friends and classmates in the articles: "this is one of my classmates" and "they're all swell singers". Includes documents from both Oswego State Normal School and later material from Oswego State Teachers College which the school was renamed in 1942 when it began to grant 4-year bachelor's degrees. 1939-1940 Report card with classes in Child Development History of civilization Composition and Speech Intro to Science Art 102 Essentials of Music and Recreational Activities. Pamphlet advertising 1941 Summer Session at Oswego State Normal School. Student Handbook Personnel Directory and Student Directory for 1941-1942 Schoolyear. Newspaper clippings that report the school's status upgrade to a degree-granting university such as the 1942 headline reads "Oswego Normal becomes State Teachers College." Other ephemera includes newspaper articles on Epsilon Pi Tau fraternity Sigma Pi Rho sorority and many on campus music groups. Many typed correspondence and notices regarding the Bel Canto singing group on campus of which the album owner was a member. Halloween Party invitation.<br/><br/>Numerous clippings from before and after America entered WWII refer to escalating tensions fears and home front defensive preparations. A 1941 headline reads "Co-operation is needed to bring victory in War / Dr. Salisbury says Educational Institutes would be hit if Nazis should win." Interesting that was printed in February 1941 before the US formally declared war. That same month there's another clipping calling on male students at Oswego to register for the selective service the Draft. An article from early 1942 declares "Better type of community seen as a result of war" and goes on to say: "Whether Oswego is bombed or not the air raid warden set-up an build a better type of community both now and in future years when peace comes." Other clippings from the months following the Pearl Harbor attack give a glimpse into the deep-seated fears that Americans felt in the early days of WWII: "Bombing of our Cities Expected by Defense Head.We must expect more ships sinking off our shores more military reverses and bombing of our cities." The war effort even affect construction plans at the school. In January 1941 there was a major fire that destroyed parts of campus and by the following year "War holding up Normal School's Building Program / Unable to get materials for remodeling auditorium new dormitory." Armistice Day program for 1941 presented in conjunction with the American Legion and US Coast Artillery. <br/><br/>The State University of New York at Oswego was founded in 1861 as the Oswego Primary Teachers' Training School; this institution embraced and popularized some of the most innovative teaching methods of the day. The school led the Oswego Movement of educational reform in the United States which sought to emphasize that every aspect of the child's life contributed to the formation of their personality character and capacity to reason. These educational methods were child-centered and based on individual differences sense perception and the student's self-activity. In 1942 the New York state legislation elevated Oswego from a Normal School to the 4-year bachelor's degree-granting Oswego State Teachers College. In 1948 Oswego became one of the State University of New York's charter members. To meet the expanded need for specialized instruction the institution broadened its academic perspective to become a full-fledged arts and sciences institution in the SUNY system and featuring a range of liberal and professional studies by 1962. Pages are thin with a few very small closed tears at edges. In very good condition. unknown books‎

‎Early Photo Archive of "Telephone Girls" at Work on Switchboard C. 1900-1940s‎

‎Archive of 6 black and white photos showing switchboard operators known as "telephone girls". Circa 1900-1940s. Five silver gelatin and one early albumen. Photos measure between 3.5" x 4.25" - 7" x 9". In the early days of the telephone companies considered the technology a personal service more than a utility. First coined as "Hello Girls" in the early 1900s personable female operators began as a means to expand wartime communication. As the demand of telephone services increased multitudes of young educated and unmarried women were hired to deliver wake up calls weather and news reports sports scores managed distress calls and even fielded local gossip in addition to connecting callers. The women were often white native English speakers who usually underwent elocution training to match the standardized tone and cadence required by their employers. Several images show the women sitting in tight rows facing the equipment wearing heavy headsets with horn mouthpieces. An early 1900s albumen shows a row of women facing the switchboards with a female supervisor watching over operations. In one image a woman gestures toward the board a phone plug in hand looking over and smiling at the camera. Four smaller polaroids dated 1958 show an entire team of women switching between boards and a small group with paperwork chatting behind them. Pencil inscriptions en verso write "New York." Images are crisp and details clear. Overall very good condition. unknown‎

‎Feminism and Women's Rights 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. At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. unknown‎

‎Women Employment Automobile‎

‎Independence through Motor Cars in the Age of Woman Suffrage‎

‎Early Women's Liberation and the Automobile in the Age of Suffrage. Collection of 4 pieces tracing the new path to independence gained by women with the invention of the automobile. Coming of age at the same time as the suffrage movement was reaching full swing the new technology offered by the automobile allowed women not only a newfound sense of freedom but the ability to travel unimpeded to demonstrate mastery of a new technology and even opened careers in mobility. This collection's vintage pieces include rare printed material on women and the automobile a signed license letters and photos from women who drove right over gender barriers explore the new world opening to women in the 20th century. <br/><br/>Leading up to the 20th century automobiles became a symbol of women's increasing social mobility and financial independence. Car makers and dealers realized that a significant number of women wanted and were capable of purchasing their own cars; and so they developed vehicles and marketing campaigns specifically for the female population. This collection's early 1913 brochure "To the American Woman" represents this trend and it declares that "the automobile . is of the greatest use to the woman.because of the importance of her work a woman's need for saving time and effort is imperative." The car saved wives and mothers time as they executed familial duties. It also provided some single women with independent incomes. As young women purchased their own vehicles some used the technology to support themselves by becoming mechanics and chauffeurs. These women are represented in this collection by a 1923 "Motor Magazine" with coverage on women car owners a vintage photo of the first woman to motor from Africa to London and an original 1929 Professional Chauffeur's License for Vivian Pickard. Pioneering women like those in this collection overcame gender barriers by increasing their mobility taking advantage of opportunities for mechanical and technical education thus opening new possibilities for women in transportation technology. unknown books‎

"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."

‎Mr. Mundella's Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour in Factories. Observations of the Employers upon the Speech of Mr. Mundella M.P. made in the House of Commons U.K on Wednesday the 11th of June 1873. Manchester: John Heywood Excelsior Printing Works 1873. 32 pages. First edition. 8 1/4 x 5 in. Original paper wrappers. Includes three data tables in appendix regarding worker mortality rates. Liberal Party politician A.J. Mundella famous for his defense of safety bills and public education for all children speaks on unsafe working conditions and "shameful treatment" of laborers; he cites high mortality rates for women and child workers and includes mortality rate information on newborn infants who suffered neglect when their mothers were forced to return to work days after giving birth: "the return of the mother to the mill was a sentence of death on the child." In this document factory owners counter the speech given by Mundella cite statistics that claim quality of life is improving for these factory workers; while marginal gains had been made in recent decades factory labor was still very dangerous and politicians like Mundella ensured the health and safety for thousands of the least represented workers in England.

‎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. A beautiful photograph of the spirited women young and old at the front lines of the changing workplace. Baxandall "America's Working Women" p. 94-96 158.
