‎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

‎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.

‎WWII Women's Royal Naval Service Photo Album from HMS Royal Arthur 73 Photographs Documenting Named Wrens in Uniform at the Training Camp 1944‎

‎1944. Women's Royal Naval Service photograph album documenting life at HMS Royal Arthur the Royal Navy's training camp establishment at Skegness where a prewar holiday camp was transformed into a military training and accommodation center during the Second World War. Named individuals throughout with handwritten identifications the album follows Dorothy Gardner and other Wrens serving in the expanding wartime navy while also capturing the theatrical entertainment routines featuring cross dressed men and ceremonial duties that shaped daily life away from the front lines. Beyond its images of uniformed women the album records a military community of offices dining halls stages chalets and training facilities that supported Britain's wartime naval operations at a camp which was bombed by German aircraft on February 21st 1942.<br /> <br /> Photo album of approximately 73 silver gelatin photographs various sizes ranging from 1.5" x 1.5" to 8.5" x 6.5" chiefly HMS Royal Arthur Camp Skegness Lincoln and other British locations c. 1944. Large group portraits are captioned "H.M.S. Royal Arthur July 1944" showing rows of Wrens in naval caps and dark uniforms. Several photos show soldiers by artillery navy men on small military boats and canons. Multiple group photos show men and women in Navy uniform. The photographs place women within the essential but often overlooked machinery of wartime naval administration including supply clerical work communications camp management transport and food service. Captions identify Peggy Marjorie Dorothy Margaret Joan Harry Blake Farnsworth Bernard Cavanagh Dennis Leo Dugay May of Glasgow Geoffrey Roy Bluemel Mrs. Thomason of Leigh Pat Taylor Nancy and Cynthia of HMS Ariel. Additional off camp photographs show bicycle outings skating scenes shipboard snapshots barracks and chalet interiors social gatherings and a guard of honour at Lincoln near the cathedral. Particularly notable is the album's extensive documentation of entertainment and morale-building activities. Several photographs are captioned "Up Spirits" and "concerts at H.M.S. Royal Arthur" revealing an active performance culture within the camp. Sailors appear in theatrical productions alongside women in costume while musicians perform with accordions and pianos before assembled audiences. One series features actor Charles Redgrave "with the girls" and another photograph captures the wartime tradition of gender-crossing stage entertainment in which male servicemen performed in women's clothing for camp audiences. These scenes provide an unusually vivid record of military leisure performance and social life within a wartime naval community.<br /> <br /> HMS Royal Arthur was bombed by German aircraft on 21 February 1942 The album therefore records daily life at a site that was both a military workplace and a target of wartime attack. By 1944 the Women's Royal Naval Service had expanded dramatically from its earlier First World War role with women serving in hundreds of naval occupations while remaining largely excluded from combat at sea. The photographs capture that transformation through named individuals workplace groups ceremonial events friendships and recreational activities illustrating how women became integral to the operation of Britain's wartime navy. The album documents the social world created when thousands of servicewomen and servicemen lived and worked together inside one of Britain's largest naval shore establishments. Sailors Wrens airmen Canadians civilians performers and local acquaintances appear throughout its pages creating a rich portrait of wartime relationships and community formation. Album shows handling wear page wear and a few removed photographs; handwritten captions remain extensive and legible throughout. Overall in good condition. An unusually dense and highly personal record of women's naval service wartime labor military entertainment gender performance and everyday life at HMS Royal Arthur during the Second World War. unknown‎

‎Civil War Era Female Equestrian CDV‎

‎1850. Albumen carte-de-visite depicting a woman dressed in a dark riding habit holding a slender riding crop in her right hand and resting her left on a desk. C.a. 1850s-70s. 2.5" x 4" on cardstock mount. There are no markings on the photograph indicating the woman's identity though her long-sleeved fitted bodice and full skirt are characteristic of American equestrian fashion in the mid-19th century. Riding habits of this period often adapted the tailored silhouette of men's coats paired with practical yet elegant skirts suitable for sidesaddle riding. The riding crop in her hand was both a functional tool for controlling a mount and a fashionable accessory in formal equestrian portraiture. Women's participation in equestrian activities in the 19th century was often associated with skill refinement and social standing with formal portraits like this serving as lasting representations of their horsemanship and style. Overall very good condition. A fine example of mid-19th century equestrian portrait photography. unknown‎

The group brings together press and non-press photographs with identifiable news-service and reference-file markings that place several images within the public circulation of women's technical labor. Many of these photographs show women operating microscopes handling laboratory equipment conducting demonstrations and working within instructional and testing settings making the group especially effective as evidence of women's participation in scientific education industrial science and medical training.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 10 silver gelatin photographs various sizes ranging from 2" x 3 to 7 x 10 inches United States and around the globe circa 1910-1946. The group includes a 1934 press photograph of Victoria Fischer in a laboratory identified on the verso as connected to Tokio Girl's Medical College in Japan shown standing at a bench with pipette flask and rack of test tubes; a 1946 photograph of Kinjian Laboratory showing a large coeducational classroom of students in white lab coats seated and standing around laboratory tables with test tubes and other equipment in hand; and a circa 1920s non-press photograph of four dental students all young women in lab coats seated around a table of instruments.
