Original Glass Plate Negative and Reprinted Photo of a Group of Early Female Hospital Workers Circa 1900
Women in Science Medicine. Circa 1900. Original Dry plate negative black and white. 7" x 5" inches. The image is showing a group of 8 nurses working in a medical laboratory circa 1880s. Comes with modern reprint photograph. The women wear nurses' caps aprons and gowns. Their caps have slightly different shapes .The laboratory is equipped with Bunsen burners and cabinetry with mortars beakers and various other containers. There is also a large device which resembles a furnace. This is a silver gelatin-coated dry plate negative. Invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox and first made available in 1873 dry plate negatives were the first economically successful durable photographic medium. Dry plate negatives are typically on thinner glass plates with a more evenly coated emulsion. Dry plate glass negatives were in common use between the 1880s and 1920s. Gelatin dry plates were commercially produced and came ready to use. The photographer just had to expose them to light and develop them. The negative has some imperfections along left side though they do not seem to have affected the reprinted image. Overall this negative is in very good condition. unknown

Portrait of a Female Doctor and Nurses in a Group of 6 Medical Professionals
Albumen portrait of a female doctor in a group of 6 medical professionals. 3.5" x 3" inches. Circa 1910. Albumen print. Photo shows six medical professionals three seated in front with three standing in back. The front row includes one male in doctor's white coat and black tie sitting front and center with the woman standing behind him also in white coat and tie. Beside him is a woman dressed in high collar and waistcoat not medical wear and a man in a black suit. The woman in the white coat is flanked by two nurses in uniforms one beaming happily the other more apprehensive. The subjects are photographed against a brick wall. The female doctor wears a strong proud expression fitting for a pioneer in her field. The postures and positions of the figures in a mixed-gender group of medical professionals indicates the hierarchical dynamics of the time with the female doctor standing instead of sitting subordinate to her male colleague. But her presence in the practice as a female doctor would have been extraordinary during the time. Seems to have been removed from an album due to paper on verso. Overall very good condition. unknown

Women in Medicine, Tufts Univesity
Tufts Medical School Huge Class Portrait with Two Graduating Female Students 1923
1923. Women's HistoryWomen's EducationWomen in Science and Medicine Tufts Medical School 1923 graduating class portrait featuring two female graduates. Panoramic silver gelatin photograph. 1923. Approx. 19 x 7.5 in. framed to 22 x 10.5 in. Dark wood frame hanging wire attached. Panoramic class portrait capturing the 1923 graduating class of Tufts Medical School notably featuring two female graduates at a time when women still constituted a small minority in the field of medicine. The image shows 44 students and faculty in full academic regalia with the two women clearly visible among their peers positioned in the front row and at the far left both wearing the same cap and gown ensemble as their male counterparts. Their inclusion offers a rare and tangible visual record of the slow but growing inclusion of women in American medical education in the early 20th century a development that remained the subject of considerable social resistance. While coeducation in medical schools became more common after World War I women remained significantly underrepresented. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges women made up just 4.4% of all U.S. medical school students in 1920. Tufts Medical School which has remained coeducational since its founding in 1893 was among the progressive institutions that accepted female students early on. The presence of women in this image is particularly significant against the backdrop of evolving gender roles following the passage of the 19th Amendment just three years earlier in 1920. Their appearance in a class photo from a prestigious medical institution not affirms the inroads women made in education during this era. Lower right corner includes the imprint of “Rowe Photo 35 Court St. Bostonâ€. Photo retains strong contrast and detail. Wood Frame shows scattered scuffing. Overall very good condition. An exceptional image of early women physicians breaking barriers in a male-dominated profession. unknown

U.S. Army Directive Establishing the Army Nurse Corps 1901
1901. MilitaryNursingWomen in Medicine Military directive establishing the Army Nurse Corps 1901. General Orders No. 113. Headquarters of the Army Adjutant General’s Office. Washington August 22 1901. Washington: War Department 1901. First edition. 10 pages. Bound with cloth tape lacking wrappers as issued. A foundational federal directive outlining the regulatory framework for the newly established Army Nurse Corps as authorized by Section 19 of the Act of February 2 1901—legislation intended to increase the efficiency of the U.S. military’s permanent establishment. This pamphlet marks a critical milestone in the formal integration of women into the military medical apparatus and reflects early 20th-century gendered labor structures within federal institutions. It defines duties pay appointment qualifications leave policies and uniform standards for female nurses employed by the U.S. Army. Of particular historical note is its stipulation that the superintendent must be a graduate of a hospital training school emphasizing the formal credentialing of women in a field long dominated by informal care roles. The directive further outlines pay rates for chief and reserve nurses entitlements to quarters and medical care and the procedural logistics of leave and illness rendering it an early articulation of professional military nursing policy.<br /> <br /> The text includes sixteen numbered provisions covering areas such as applications for appointment travel reimbursements illness treatment and efficiency reporting. Paragraph 15 specifies the required uniform including “a waist and skirt of suitable white material adjustable white cuffs shoulder collar white apron and cap according to patterns prescribed by the Surgeon General’s Office.†Such mandates reinforce both the militarization and gendered expectations placed upon early 20th-century women in uniform. A marginal annotation in red ink on the cover notes that this issue was “amended by G.O. 54 W.D. 1908†signaling its eventual revision which adds bibliographic and institutional value for those studying the evolution of military nursing.<br /> <br /> Light toning. Red pen annotation on page one noting the order's amendment in 1908. Overall very good to near fine condition. A comprehensive government document that institutionalized women’s medical labor within the Army. unknown

Women in Military, WAVES
U.S. Navy WAVES Recruit Ruth Gangstad of North Dakota Photo Album
1955. Women's HistoryMilitaryWWII Photo album documenting United States Naval Women's Reserve WAVES recruit Ruth Gangstad during and after training. Circa 1955. 115 original silver gelatin photographs mounted in a red oblong album most in corner mounts some with period captions. Includes candid and formal shots of women in full uniform WAVES graduation ceremonies naval buildings classroom and dormitory interiors group portraits and social outings.<br /> <br /> A vivid personal archive centering on the life of Ruth G. Ganstad of Grenora North Dakota a young woman serving in the U.S. Navy’s WAVES Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service program in the mid to late 1950s. The album begins with a formal class portrait and printed graduation program from the U.S. Naval Hospital Corps School in Bethesda Maryland dated December 15 1955 and follows the Gangstad's daily experience in training and service: standing in formation posing in uniform on base and off-duty at dormitories and parties. Gangstad appears in multiple formal portraits in WAVES dress uniform at attention on base and off-duty in dorms dining halls and public spaces. Dozens of images portray female Navy personnel in uniform standing proudly in formation or relaxing on furlough often arm-in-arm with fellow WAVES. Also depicted are friendships with fellow WAVES and male Navy officers moments of levity and excursions into town. A newspaper clipping at the rear documents the Gangstad's military wedding at the Bainbridge Naval Base Chapel.<br /> <br /> The WAVES program Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service was established in 1942 as part of the broader mobilization of women into military roles during WWII. While many of the original wartime WAVES demobilized after 1945 the program continued through the Cold War era. In 1948 the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act granted women permanent status in the regular Navy though gender roles remained rigid. This album captures a critical yet underdocumented period in the integration of women into full-time military service illustrating both professional pride and personal camaraderie. Unlike WWII-era WAVES material which often centers on wartime production this album captures the lesser-documented postwar continuity of women’s military service in peacetime. It serves as a scarce chronicle of gender discipline and camaraderie in a transitional moment before the women’s rights movements of the 1960s. Minor edgewear to album occasional silvering or wear to photo surfaces. Some photos coming loose else well-preserved and neatly arranged. Very good condition overall. A scarce surviving visual document of 1950s women’s naval service. unknown

Women in Medicine and Pharmacology Photo Archive 1920s-40s
Women in Medicine This photo archive documents the largely unsung but vital roles of women in scientific and medical professions during the interwar and WWII periods with particular focus on lab-based pharmacological and bacteriological research. Archive of ten press photos of women in medicine and pharmacology including early laboratory work on penicillin and a portrait of Phyllis Sully the first woman to receive B.Ph. from London University. 1920s–1940s. Ten original press photographs including one formal portrait each black and white silver gelatin prints. Each photo includes original press captions or stamps on verso. One of the most historically significant pieces is a press photograph of Phyllis Sully identified on the verso as the first woman to receive the newly issued B.Ph. degree from London University—a pivotal milestone in British academic history during the post-suffrage era. Her portrait exemplifies the emergence of women into professional scientific careers that had long been male-dominated. The remaining nine photographs capture women technicians and scientists in laboratory settings engaged in vital medical research often framed in wartime or public health contexts. These include a striking image of a woman at the Reichel Labs of Wyeth Inc. preparing penicillin—a discovery that revolutionized medicine and saved countless soldiers’ lives during WWII. Others depict women testing blood samples at the U.S. Public Health Department handling pharmaceutical assays to measure penicillin potency using photo-electric cells and preparing virus samples for poliomyelitis vaccines at Toronto's Connaught Medical Research Laboratories. Several images are explicitly captioned with institutional affiliations including St. John's Hospital in Brooklyn the U.S. National Institute of Health and Notre Dame University's Pharmacy Club visit to Parke-Davis Laboratories in Detroit 1937. These photos collectively capture the presence of women as essential though often overlooked contributors in clinical and research environments during a transformative era in medicine. Minor creases and caption residue typical of press archive use. Overall very good condition. A rare visual record of women's intellectual labor in medicine and science between the world wars. This archive is an invaluable resource in the history of science women's history and female medical labor in the early 20th century. unknown

Women in Medical School Photo Archive 1920s-40s
Women in Medicine Archive of six photographs showing female medical and dental students 1900-1930s. This archive documents the groundbreaking presence of women in medical education during the early 20th century featuring original photographs of women studying or graduating from medical schools from approximately 1900 to the late 1930s with locations including Philadelphia Chicago New York City and Armenia or an Armenian community in the U.S.<br /> <br /> Included in this archive is a matted medical school class photograph c.1900 showing a cohort of twenty men and a single woman posed in a classroom with anatomical charts; a real photo postcard dating to 1923 of the Northern Illinois College of Ophthalmology featuring a single woman among a large group of male students; a 1932 Armenian medical school graduation photo depicting predominantly female obstetrics students identified via Armenian inscription on verso; a 1934 NYU Medical School photograph taken in an operating theater highlighting a woman among male medical students; a 1938 press photo of Evelyn Swanson a Northwestern University dental school student participating in pioneering halitosis research with attached original press caption; and a 1928 press photo of Mary Markiecez a Latvian woman and the only woman from her country studying medicine in the United States at the time captured while using a powerful microscope at the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania.<br /> <br /> This archive collectively showcases the profound rarity of women entering and succeeding in medical education during the post-suffrage pre-World War II period. The group poignantly illustrates the significant barriers faced by women—especially women immigrants and ethnic minorities—in accessing advanced education and professional careers in healthcare. The posed formality of classroom images contrasts sharply with the spontaneous working shots of women in laboratory settings creating a textured narrative of perseverance representation and ambition in a historically male-dominated sphere. These photographs serve as critical visual testimony to the gradual but groundbreaking integration of women into the medical professions during a period where their presence was exceptional and hard-won.<br /> <br /> Images complete and clear. Overall good to very good condition. An invaluable assemblage documenting women’s early struggle for inclusion in the fields of obstetrics ophthalmology dentistry and other medical fields. unknown

Women in Medicine Photo
Photograph of Female Professor Dissecting Cadaver with Medical Students
Original vintage photograph of a female teacher directing male medical students dissecting a cadaver c. 1890. Black and white 3"x5" with back matting. One woman surrounded by four men lean over a table with a skeleton. Behind them is a chalkboard with anatomical pull down charts. Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years the United States and most industrialized nations did not allow women into the formal practice of medicine until the latter half of the 19th century. This female doctor was part of the first generation formally accepted by medical institution. She wears a medal indicating her importance and perhaps former military involvement. Early photographs of women in medicine are very rare photograph of surgery or dissection much rarer. <br/><br/>Women practiced in the medical field for hundreds of years until new licenser rules established in the Victorian era provided a means for their exclusion. The story of how women reclaimed their role in medicine is one of resourcefulness and determination. In 1849 the first American woman graduated medical school. The path was difficult; few medical schools would accepted them and the reception was not always welcoming. Female doctors were called not only to prove their ability to practice medicine but to justify their unique necessity to the field. Of all the specialties the most embattled for women is surgery; early on they faced a challenge obtaining education training and facilities. A perennial argument was that cadaver dissection necessary to training was inappropriate for the delicate female disposition. However this Victorian-era photograph showing a woman capably participating in cadaver dissection proves that in the words of Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi the best known female doctor in 1891 "It is perfectly evident.that the opposition to women physicians has rarely been based upon any sincere conviction that women could not be instructed in medicine but upon an intense dislike to the idea that they should be. unknown books

Home Nursing: Comprising Lectures Given to Detachments of the British Red Cross Society Signed First Edition
London: The Scientific Press 1916. First edition. Very Good . Scarce first edition of a Red Cross manual designed both for emergency workers and women in the home. Original publisher's cloth binding titled in red on spine and front board. Boards a bit rubbed and soiled corners bumped. Faint offsetting to the endpapers. Inscribed by Edith Newsome on the front pastedown: "With the Author's Compliments Edith Newsome. 16.10.23." A scarce book institutionally and in trade OCLC reports only 11 copies in libraries this being the only one currently on the market. <br/><br/>Edith Newsome's first major work on nursing produced after she realized that her Red Cross lecture series could not provide complete enough information to train "those who have so nobly responded to the 'call of duty'; to do all that is in their power to tend and succour the brave men of our nation by proving themselves valuable and intelligent helpers." Indeed Newsome's work was released two years into World War I -- the first modern war which brought with it a horrifying number of previously unknown injuries and ailments. In addition to professional nurses women enrolled to assist as Volunteer Aid Detachments VADs because there simply were not enough women with medical educations to serve the nation's need. The present work is a stirring acknowledgement of this. Comprehensive in training VADs and new nurses in field operations it also contains information for women in the home who confronted infection illness or injury and served as domestic caretakers for men returning from the front.

Second Annual Announcement and Catalogue of Students of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania.For the Session 1851
Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions.<br/><br/>Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.

The front row is spread across the grass with others in chairs behind them and the back row sitting on the open windowsill and ledge along the side of the building. The group is entirely female suggesting maybe an early women’s college all of them dressed in high-collared dresses long skirts with bustles many in hats and some with parasols. In the front row four women hold tennis rackets as if posing before or after a game. This restless group of young women are pictured in the 1870s or 1880's.

The court has been constructed on a lawn with painted boundaries and a net which was customary in 19th century. In the background is a large white wooden house. Lawn tennis came into fashion in the 1870’s as an upper-class hobby marking leisure time for players and spectators. Some spotting and Light staining on photos does not effect clarity of images. Overall in very good condition. unknown

Women in Science, Photographs
Early Photographs Women Scientists Conduct Experiments
Women in Science Two photos of women working with scientific laboratory equipment. Silver gelatin print photographs from 1930 and 1946. Image sizes 3.5 x 5.25†and 3 x 4â€. In both photographs women scientists work with glass test tubes pipettes and graduated beakers. One photo depicts two women in lab coats working with a series of test tubes standing outside c. 1930; this setting indicates this could possibly be part of an ecology or other environmental science lab. Second photo 1946 shows two women holding pipettes and smiling into the camera. The both wear white uniforms and their names are handwritten in pencil on image verso. During WWII women took up jobs in many sectors to support the country including science research and laboratory work. These women were essential in producing important medicines such as penicillin that were needed during wartime; this work helped pave the way for younger women scientists such as those pictured to have professional opportunities in the postwar period. These women may be in a specialized training program as they both wear all white uniforms. Both very good condition. unknown

Women in Sports Archive of six photographs documenting women’s competitive and recreational swimming 1910s-30s. Includes six silver gelatin press and studio photographs depicting female swimmers and divers dating ca. 1910–1933. Press photos with press annotations and stamps from ACME Newspictures NEA and Culver Service. Locations include Palm Beach Florida and Jones Beach State Park New York. This archive offers a vivid portrayal of women’s athleticism in a period when female sports participation was often marginalized with several images highlighting Olympic and championship-level divers and swimmers in action.<br /> <br /> Among the most striking is a 1933 photograph of Clarabel “Clare†Degener University of Michigan senior and 1932 Olympic diving medalist shown in “perfect form†mid-dive during an exhibition at Westchester Country Club Rye New York. The original caption and NEA reference stamp appear on verso. Another photograph dated July 23 1933 shows the start of the second heat in the 880-yard freestyle event during the Women's National Swimming Championships at Jones Beach featuring swimmers launching into the water before a packed audience. A third image captures Helen Meany famed Olympic diving champion in mid-somersault at a Palm Beach facility—also with original press label and NEA date stamp 1930. One early photo dating around 1910 depicts a female swimmer proudly holding a trophy at the shoreline signaling the emergence of women in competitive aquatic sports. Two additional studio portraits show swimmers at leisure: a duo seated lakeside in matching suits and caps and a group of four people standing in the water at a pool identified on verso as the family of international diplomats and military officers including Inga Bryn of Norway and Barine Drake daughter of Col. G.D. Drake.<br /> <br /> Verso stamps and typed captions mostly intact and legible. Overall very good condition. A visually compelling testament to early women’s sports history documenting the emergence of female champions in swimming and diving at both recreational and elite levels during a transformative period in gender and athletic culture. unknown
