‎19th Cent Women Education‎

‎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

‎1827. Philis Mr. Report of the Commission Charged to Examine Memoirs Relative to the Education of Women. Third Subject: Morality. 1827. This 1827 manuscript records one of the earliest sustained formal debates advocating systematic education for women across social classes. Structured as a commission evaluation of submitted memoirs the text advances the argument that education should be universally accessible to women "from the daughter of the Prince to that of the most humble of the subjects" asserting that the "elements of Language and Calculations" are "necessary and indispensable to women in all stations." At a time when formal education for girls was limited and higher education for women virtually nonexistent the manuscript situates female instruction not as ornamental refinement but as moral and civic necessity.<br /> <br /> Philis Mr. Report of the Commission Charged to Examine Memoirs Relative to the Education of Women. Third Subject: Morality. 1827. Folio manuscript in paper boards. 68 pages of handwritten script in black ink. The manuscript is organized around three submitted theses: "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."; and "To Instruct the Children One Must Enlighten the Mothers." While the framing reflects prevailing assumptions that motherhood constituted women's primary social role the author strategically reverses that premise arguing that education is precisely what "nature formed women to be" capable of fulfilling their duties. Written one year after the opening of the first public high schools for girls in New York and Boston and more than a decade before women would begin earning college degrees the manuscript provides early evidence of reformist thought that linked women's education to broader civic improvement. Boards show wear with light soiling and scattered stains; manuscript evenly toned with occasional minor soiling; text clear and complete. Overall condition very good to good. 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."‎

‎Two Portraits of Dr. Pauline Root Cabinet Cards‎

‎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." Both have blank backs with the notation "Dr. Pauline Root" and "India. Abell & Priest unknown‎

Middle work worn and chipped with text block and both covers detached but present and no loss of text. A trio of works recording the minutes of three separate annual sessions of the North Ohio Conference Branch Women's Mite Missionary Society of the A.M.E. Church between 1924 and 1927. The meetings were held in Youngstown Cleveland and Alliance Ohio respectively. Each work prints the officers and members of the N.O.C.B.W.M.M. Society as well as each conference's daily activities the minutes of the Executive Board meeting various officer and committee reports and more. One of the more interesting features of the works is the two-page table which concludes each work listing the various societies throughout Ohio their president and corresponding secretary and detailed financial data. All three pamphlets also contain the text of the President's Report or Annual Address providing details on the leadership activities of the group. The first two pamphlets have an ownership signature on the front wrapper belonging to Miss Veetta Jackson of Alliance who almost certainly attended all three annual sessions and is listed in the Conference Branch Roll of the third year when the event took place in her hometown.

‎Two Programs for Annual Sessions of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association‎

‎N.p. likely Houston Tx 1946. 4; 4pp. Both in original printed wrappers stapled. Minor overall wear. Very good. A pair of very rare if not unrecorded pamphlets printing the events which took place at two different annual meetings of the Women's Auxiliary of the Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association a vitally important African-American health organization in Jim Crow Texas. The earlier of the two publications covers the June 6-8 1944 session held at Jarvis College in Hawkins Texas; the latter session was held at Charlton-Pollard High School in Beaumont. Both pamphlets print the schedule of events for the sessions along with a "Social Calendar" and a list of officers. The events included musical performances addresses devotionals readings of minutes and so forth. Interestingly the opening song of the 1946 session is listed as the "Negro National Anthem" also known as James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing." We are unable to find any holdings of these two pamphlets explicitly in OCLC but a couple of institutions hold collections of papers from various health professionals who were members of the organization which may include these two publications.<br /> <br /> "The Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association an organization of African Americans in the health field came into existence on August 25 1886 in Galveston. J. H. and L. M. Wilkins brothers and Galveston doctors with J. S. Cameron a San Antonio pharmacist and twelve men from nine towns met to establish the association the second organization of Black professionals in the medical field in the nation. The founders had approached the Texas Medical Association concerning participation but it refused to admit them. After sporadic activities in the 1880s and 1890s the association revived in 1901 through the efforts of six members who held a meeting in Austin. Thereafter it grew steadily to attain a membership of almost 300 by 1928. Its members-physicians dentists pharmacists and nurses-selected their first female president A. E. Hughes in 1934. Throughout its history the association emphasized discussion of medical practice and public-health education. It also reviewed hospitals and schools for nurses to provide information on standards. During the 1930s leaders successfully urged the establishment of a state-supported tuberculosis sanatorium for Blacks at Kerrville. After the TMA was opened to Blacks in 1955 the organization which had been retitled the Lone Star Medical Association remained active but declined from 250 members in 1959 to eighty in 1985 after a decision allowing dentists and pharmacists to form their own groups" - Handbook of Texas online. unknown‎

‎Mostly Atlanta 1950. Leatherette album measuring 12 x 9 inches. With over 225 images most 4 ½ x 2 ¾ inches. Very well preserved and nearly complete with three empty slots about fine overall. Near Fine. A compelling visual record of the childhood of Mable Williams of Atlanta Georgia a high school student at Booker T.

Composed mostly of snapshot photographs of her friends and family as a group the album provides a visual record of a vibrant network of family and friends in Atlanta during the time period. <br /> <br /> The album begins with a picture showing her as a girl alongside a picture of a house perhaps hers and traces her life through early adulthood through snapshots and family photographs. We find records of Williams performing at the Greater Atlanta Music Festival in 1950 as a representative of her high school. A newspaper article laid in shows Williams in a newspaper showing her graduation picture and stating that she will attend Spelman College in Atlanta in September of 1953. Pictures show her in New York City visiting a friend at N.Y.U. She would later marry Billy Reid a local jazz musician from Atlanta and would remain active in the Spelman community after graduating in 1957. <br /> <br /> Overall a very well preserved document of the African-American community in Atlanta during the 1940s and 1950s. unknown‎

‎Detroit MI: Corydon C. Randall Photographer 220 Woodward Ave. c. 1864 1881-1882. One mounted albumen cabinet card photo sized 3.9 x 5.9 in. mounted on tan studio board sized 4.25 x 6.5 in. rounded corners printed caption below the image printed photographer’s imprint on verso minor age-toning minor spotting slight soiling to fore-edges old tiny pinhole evidenced at upper blank margin of mounted board not affecting the photograph very upper right w/ slight creasing & cracking of photo now neatly re-affixed still a VG exemplar of this very rare cabinet card image. A very scarce full-length albumen cabinet card portrait of Sojourner Truth 1797-1883 taken when she was 84-83 years old and used as a fund-raiser at her public events at the end of her life. This is one of Truth’s late portraits and she was quite unusual having acquired her copyright to her portrait during the Civil War giving her control over both the distribution of the CDV and Cabinet Card images and the revenues they generated. As one of the best-known African-American former slaves abolitionists and women’s rights advocates of the 19th-Century she traveled the country for decades giving lectures and attending conferences where she would sell her “Shadow†photographs as a primary means of support for her ongoing mission. According to extensive historical research by Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby Truth posed for Detroit photographer Corydon C. Randall’s camera on three occasions between June 1881 and April 1882. The finished albumen photos were prepared in both Carte de Visite 2.25 x 3.5 in. and Cabinet Card 4 x 6 in. formats and sold to Truth at .5¢ apiece. Randall’s studio records show purchases of 50 50 and 100 copies of each of the three separate poses which was “an astonishing order for a woman in her eighties†but considering they were some of the last photographs of Truth the editions size was quite small with the Cabinet cards scarcer than the CDV versions. Grigsby details this standing pose in her book: the photographs “stage her against a pedastal in front of painted seaside backdrop. The effect is unique among her portraits. She stands in what purports to be a natural scene her figure is smaller than the background suggesting a vastness of space we have not seen before. . . Even as we recognize its artiface we indulge in the illusion of space and air and natural light that it so economically suggests. . . In these late seaside portraits there is a soft winsome quality intensified when we realize that she is in her eighties and at the very end of a long arduous life of personal and political struggle.†Worldcat locates 1 copy of seated version CDV Boston Athenaeum; See: Grigsby Enduring Truths 2015 pp. 178-184.
