Women in Science, Photographs
Three Photograph Archive circa 1910 of Female Scientists Conducting Lab Experiments
Women in Science Archive of three photos of women doing experiments in science laboratories in the 1910s. Three silver gelatin photos of various sizes. The first photo is an original silver gelatin photograph of a Rustic pharmacological laboratory with female technician c. 1910. Three individuals pose amongst dozens of glass vials containing medical powders and remedies. 3.5 x 5 in. Original black and white photograph. Two figures wear white aprons or smocks indicating their important role in mixing and measuring different medicines. The first university Pharmacology department was established in 1847 and thus began the formalization of this field of scientific research as the 20th century witnessed a steady increase in the number of new drugs that would improve the human condition tremendously. Verso inscription in pencil and pen in European language. The second photo is an original silver gelatin photograph of a science laboratory with 6 person around a table filled with special equipment. c. 1920s. Real photo postcard. 3.5 x 5.5 in. From unknown European country. 4 girls in matching uniforms stand around a table engage in experiments and write observations in their notebooks. 1 uniformed young man stands nearby while an older student or teacher supervises. This dates from the 1920s after WWI had ended but a period in which militarization in Europe was considered of upmost national importance. The early 20th century was also a period of great development for women’s education as more schools and programs opened to girls.

Women in Sports Photo Archive Including One of the Earliest Female Bullfighters 1900-1950s
1900. Sports and HobbiesWomen’s History Archive of six original photographs depicting women in sports and physical culture ca. 1900s–1950s. A striking group of five silver gelatin photographs and one stereoview documenting early and mid-20th century women’s athletics across a range of sports including bullfighting competitive swimming mass calisthenics and weight training. The archive is anchored by a powerful press photograph of Bertha Trujillo a Colombian woman bullfighter shown bloodstained and exhausted yet defiant after leaving the ring as documented by a Hamilton Wright press caption on verso dated May 7 1956. The image captures the rare spectacle of a woman operating within a hypermasculine and violently gendered tradition underlining her transgressive presence in the public arena of the corrida. Trujillo’s visibility as a "girl bullfighter" not only subverts gendered codes of spectacle and aggression but also underscores the fraught place of women in national rituals of machismo.<br /> <br /> Also included is an early gelatin silver stereoview of a woman mid-dive from a boat into open water ca. 1900s her long dress captured in graceful suspension. A vintage sepia-toned postcard shows a massive synchronized physical training display by women in uniform skirts likely in a European stadium setting.

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 4". 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 books

Women in Science Oceanographic Study
Pre-Suffrage Oceanographic Study Photo Album of Marine Biologist Hope Hibbard
Marine Biologist Hope Hibbard. 1917 photo album of scientist Hope Hibbard during her marine biological studies at Woods Hole; an impressive and uncommon relic of an early female scientist working before American women's suffrage. <br/><br/>An album of biologist Hope Hibbard while on a research study program at Woods Hole Massachusetts in 1917. Containing 29 photos the majority of which focus on her study program. Hibbard was an acclaimed scientist specializing in biology cytology zoology and histology. She received numerous academic merits as well as renown for her dedication to promoting women in the scientific sphere and her involvement in associations that forwarded female roles in science and research such as the American Association of University Women AAUW. During her long academic career Hibbard taught at illustrious women's colleges Bryn Mawr and Elmira as well as the forerunner of coeducational colleges Oberlin. In this rare album annotated in white ink by Hibbard we see her as a young student conducting marine biological research from a floating biological laboratory. Hibbard's photos include according to her white ink annotation "Laboratory Launch at Woods Hole" which shows their floating laboratory departing from the harbor "Whitman Cottage where I lived" with other female students during the program her class dredging the ocean floor for samples "on a field trip" a rare photo of a young Hibbard in her college sweater and several labeled photos of Woods Hole locales which would have played a part in her studies including the Great Harbor Little Harbor Marine Biological Laboratory and the U.S. Fish Commission Buildings. Several photos also show Hope and her classmates on day trips and enjoying lobster or the bathing beach. A few photos at the beginning and end of the album show her family. Hibbard is viewed as a crusader for women in the scientific sphere. She held strong opinions about the untapped abilities of women due to both perpetuated stereotypes initialized by men and additional self-deprecating tendencies and she utilized her membership in several academic assemblies to express her viewpoints. Hibbard served as an avid member of the AAUW and the American Association for the Advancement of Science among others and wrote several discourses in which she urged women to integrate marriage and professional endeavors within science rather than abandoning one from the other. Examples of Hibbard's papers include "Vocations for Women and How College Can Prepare Them" 1935 "The Life of Oberlin Women Today" 1937 and "Women in Research." In these multiple dialogues Hibbard communicated her desire for women to overcome social boundaries concerning their position in science. She worked to encourage women to forge their paths independent of discouraging social views and to mold their own journey as both intellectuals and spouses as opposed to exclusively one of the two. Hibbard additionally spearheaded the Oberlin chapter of League of Women Voters while a professor at the institution. Photos and album are in very good condition. Silver gelatin prints lightly toned approximately 2" x 3" inches each. Pages and ink annotation clear and bright. 5" x 8" inch album with black leatherette cover and gold printed title "Photographs". Rubbed at top and bottom but over in very good condition. This is the only early relic we have seen from the life of an important early ambassador of Women in STEM. unknown books

The daytime photograph pictures about twenty-five women on horseback in a single line with a large mountain range in the background; the nighttime photo shows about thirty-five women ranged around a small campfire with several tents in the background. A handful of men accompany the women perhaps the ranch staff or instructors or simply the male counterparts to a few of the women. All of the subjects are dressed in typical western wear with all but one of the women on horseback wearing a cowboy hat.

Photo Archive of American Servicewomen in World War II
Collection of black-and-white silver gelatin photographs documenting the service of American women in the military during World War II and the 1950s. Includes 20 photographs ranging in size from3.5" x 5" to 2" x 3" Photos depict members of the Women’s Army Corps WAC Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service WAVES the National Guard and other auxiliary military units such as a group of Asian-American nurses aides. Several images include handwritten captions identifying individuals locations and dates with notable references to Camp Bullis Texas 1956 and Fort Des Moines Iowa.<br /> <br /> The archive provides a visual testament to the pioneering role of women in the U.S. military during a transformative period. In one striking image a smiling African American WAVE stands proudly in uniform reflecting the integration of Black women into the armed services during World War II despite ongoing racial discrimination. Other photos showcase groups of women in regimented formations training exercises and moments of camaraderie emphasizing their rigorous discipline and collective identity. A group portrait of uniformed WAC officers is particularly notable as the reverse of the photo provides a handwritten identification of the women pictured including names such as Lee Horney Mary Gordon Dorothy Risser and Angie McCarthy preserving the memory of their service.<br /> <br /> Additional images highlight the military training experience such as a framed border print of servicewomen in fatigues at Camp Bullis Texas in July 1956 with a caption on the reverse indicating they were about to embark on field exercises with "C rations in bay." Another 1943-dated photo identifies "Miss Fern Hassler" standing in uniform against a rural landscape suggesting the early recruitment of women into military service at the height of World War II. A separate set of images captures women in drill formations outside a National Guard Armory reinforcing their growing visibility in traditionally male-dominated institutions.<br /> <br /> Overall the archive documents the breaking of gender barriers in the armed forces as women took on crucial wartime roles and paved the way for future military integration. The presence of African American and white servicewomen together in this collection further illustrates the gradual desegregation of the military. Photographs remain in very good condition with minor creasing and occasional handwritten inscriptions. An exceptional visual record of American servicewomen’s contributions to military history offering rare insight into the personal and collective experiences of those who defied expectations to serve their country. unknown

Women in the American West A collection of 410 titles
VAST COLLECTION OF 410 WORKS ON WOMEN IN THE AMERICAN WEST: Books and Ephemera from the Collection of Dorothy Sloan
V.p. 1996. A collection of 410 titles concerning Women in the West. Condition Statement: Overall most of the books in the collection are in "good" or "good" condition which typically describes a book that is sufficiently worn the binding soiled scuffed stained or spotted and may have loose joints hinges pages etc. To a lesser extent there are books in "fair" condition namely a well-worn book that has complete text pages including those with maps or plates but may lack endpapers half-title etc. The binding and/or jacket may also be worn. Women in the American West: Books and Ephemera from the Collection of Dorothy Sloan. SEE DETAILED FINDING AID on our website. <br/><br/>Dorothy Sloan b. 1943 is justly considered to be one of great scholar-booksellers of Western Americana Texana and Latin Americana. Dorothy Sloan Rare Books auction catalogues are recognized as models of their kind and feature an unusually broad array of printed books maps manuscripts and ephemera and are particularly strong in 19th-century materials. In many instances Sloan's bibliographic descriptions have become the description of record.<br/>She began her career at John Howell in San Francisco and thence to Jenkins Company in Austin. She issued her first rare book catalogue in 1984 and her first auction catalogue in 1994. Suffice it to say that as a woman she was literally a pioneer in such an endeavor. <br/><br/>Over the years she built a collection of Women in the West which is described in the 29-page Inventory below. Here is a collection of both women authors and women as the subject of historical and literary narrative. Most of the collection was kept in storage for the last twenty-eight years awaiting cataloguing and eventual sale. As we all know "Life" often interferes with our plans particularly as we grow older. <br/><br/>When Dorothy retired last year we acquired the collection of Women in the West. We are pleased to offer it en bloc for the price of $8200 which includes free shipping in the Continental United States. <br/><br/>Of the 410 titles in the collection nearly 25% are more than a century old. The earliest book in the collection is Sally Hastings' Poems on different subjects. To which is added a descriptive account of a family tour to the West. Lancaster 1808. The author describes her travels from Lancaster County to Washington PA. through the Alleghenies and gives an account of the Ohio River at Pittsburgh.<br/><br/>Only a handful of titles in the collection were published in the last 30 years the "newest" one dated 1996 namely: Anne Butler and Ona Siporin Uncommon common women. which contains culturally and ethnically diverse accounts of women who lived in the American West.<br/><br/>The physical size of the collection is considerable. Without any packing material it would encompass 15 large boxes. There are photographs gum cards engravings various inscribed books plays of the California Gold Rush memoirs and captivity narratives travelogues captivity narratives autobiographies Western novels pamphlets private press material a few 'zines journals catalogues and magazines. It is the culmination of decades of labor spanning all genres in the Western Americana tradition. The collection represents women's voices of a myriad of ethnicities including various Native American tribes African and African-American women Hispanic women prostitutes madams cowgirls ranchers pioneers and their struggles in the face of physical social and cultural adversity. <br/><br/>We are reluctant to mention "highlights" as it would suggest that "lowlights" do not merit attention from scholars and bibliophiles alike. We invite readers to peruse the Inventory of the collection capably prepared by Hunter Corb to allow readers to make that determination for themselves. <br/><br/>Included is the first edition of Miriam Colt's autobiography which describes her ill-fated expedition to Kansas Went to Kansas 1862 in which she traveled more than 1300 miles to establish a communal vegetarian colony. Colt provides vivid and frightening details of a family's ordeals on the frontier landscape including severe illness and encounters with lawless gangs. Defrauded of their investment in the Vegetarian Settlement Company the Colts left Kansas in the fall of 1856. Colt's husband and son died en route leaving only mother and daughter to return to New York. <br/><br/>Another work of interest is Sarah Hopkins's Life Among the Piutes an autobiography written at the encouragement of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This is considered to be the first book written and published in English by a Native American woman. It provides "extensive information about pre-White northern Paiute culture the types of foods marriage and other social practices as well as political leadership" Paher while simultaneously increasing awareness and sympathy for the plight of Native Americans. <br/><br/>Melinda Rankin's Twenty Years Among the Mexicans describes her missionary labor in south Texas and Mexico. Herein are depicted the experiences of the first Protestant woman missionary in Latin America. Although laws in Mexico at the time forbade the introduction of any form of Protestantism into the country Rankin traveled there in 1852 and established the first Protestant mission in Northern Mexico continuing her work there for a few decades before returning to the United States due to health problems. This narrative describes not just Rankin's missionary labors but also many dramatic events in Texas and Mexico including revolutionary turmoil the American Civil War and her capture by the notorious military leader rancher and outlaw Juan Cortina.<br/><br/>From early settlers of the West during and shortly after the American Revolution; to ranchers and pioneering women in the early days of the Republic of Texas and the fight for independence; to overland travels in covered wagons on the famed Oregon Trail at the outset of the American Civil War; to excursions into Mexico and Latin America at the end of the 19th and into the 20th centuries. Over two hundred years of women's experiences can be found within this collection and as such there is something for every student and subject matter.<br/><br/>SEE DETAILED FINDING AID ON OUR WEBSITE which enumerates each and every one of the 410 titles:<br/><br/>https://www.michaellaird.com/cat.phpid=307. unknown books

Original WW II Poster from 1942 reads "Women in the War We Can't Win Without Them" Extra large size poster 29" x 41" in. Shows a woman factory worker wearing overalls or apron riveting with both hands a weapon that looks like a torpedo. This highly visual poster was promoting women in the wartime workforce it was produced in 1942 by the War Manpower Commission. At the time "Women in the War" was one of the most widely distributed images of a woman laboring in war production. The poster is in red blue and black poster. Publisher was the United States. Government Printing Office. Place of Publication: "Washington D.C." By 1943 when the labor shortage was most acute the two agencies worked together in concerted campaigns targeting employers to hire women and women to become 'production soldiers'" Yellin Our Mothers' War p. 44. Women laboring in factories even in the service of the war effort was controversial. "Despite the tide of public opinion against working wives War Manpower Commission director Paul McNutt concentrated on on patriotism. The campaigns glamorized war work always showing that women could maintain their femininity and still be useful" Yellin pp. 45-46. Examples of this important poster are held at numerous institutions including the Library of Congress and MOMA. At lower left corner of sheet: "War Manpower Commission Washington D.C." Copies in very good condition like this one are uncommon. unknown books
