Women Rights Law
Married Women's right to own buy and sell her separate property is finally granted in the Married Women's Property Act 1882
Married Women's Property Act 1882. U.K. Robert George Printed Act of Parliament. Unbound and stitched. In fair condition on aged paper. Ownership signature of 'R. G. Underdown' Railway General Manager at head of first page. Passed 18 August 1882. The ten pages of the act are preceded by a two page 'Arrangement of Sections' from '1. Married women to be capable of holding property and of contracting as a feme sole.' to '27. Short title.' A document of considerable historical significance. Scarce: no copies located on COPAC.<br/><br/>The Married Women's Property Act 1882 45 & 46 Vict. c.75 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that significantly altered English law regarding the property rights of married women which besides other matters allowed married women to own and control property in their own right. English law defined the role of the wife as a feme covert emphasizing her subordination to her husband. Upon marriage the husband and wife became one person under the law as the property of the wife was surrendered to her husband and her legal identity ceased to exist. Any personal property acquired by the wife during the marriage unless specified that it was for her own separate use went automatically to her husband. Women were often limited in what they could inherit. Males were more likely to receive real property land. The Married Women's Property Act 1882 altered the common law doctrine of coverture to include the wife's right to own buy and sell her separate property.8 Wives' legal identities were also restored as the courts were forced to recognize a husband and a wife as two separate legal entities. unknown books

Women Scientists; Marie Curie; Lise Meitner
Marie Curie Lise Meitner Gloria Hollister Famous Women Scientists Press Photo Archive 1936
1936. Women in Science Marie Curie Lise Meitner Women's History Women scientists press photo archive documenting how newspapers and syndication services translated female expertise into public image culture in the decade spanning the late interwar and immediate postwar years when scientific authority remained coded as male and women researchers were still introduced to mass audiences as exceptions. Six press photographs center on Marie Curie Lise Meitner Annie Jump Cannon and Gloria Hollister four figures linked to radioactivity nuclear physics astronomy and zoology. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 silver gelatin press photographs ranging from 3 x 5 to 8 x 10 inches various U.S. press agencies 1936-1946. Several retain typed or printed versos with agency text. A 1936 photograph shows Gloria Hollister reading a map posed for press circulation beside copy announcing that the "lady explorer starts for jungles of Guiana" and identifying her as the youngest research associate and fellow of the New York Zoological Society a caption that joins scientific credentialing to expedition publicity. Two photographs concern Marie Curie: a 1937 press reproduction of an earlier laboratory image showing Curie at work in a rudimentary interior issued with text invoking the "humble beginning" from which the work of Pierre and Marie Curie produced a major scientific field; and a King Features Syndicate portrait of Curie seated formally beneath the printed declaration that "men have no monopoly on intellectual pre-eminence and achievement in science and art." A 1936 press photograph of Annie Jump Cannon presents the astronomer whose stellar cataloging underpinned modern classification systems. Two 1946 photographs show Lise Meitner in public honor settings rather than laboratory space one receiving an honorary degree at the University of Rochester from Dean of Women Janet Howell Clark the other made after her selection as "Lady of the Year" by the Women's National Press Club.<br /> The archive spans years in which women scientists entered the public press not as members of an ordinary professional class but through narrativized forms of exception and each figure here is positioned within a different media script. Hollister is circulated as explorer scientist Curie as foundational pioneer and emblem of women's intellectual authority Cannon as a woman attached to precision astronomical labor and Meitner as a scientist absorbed into postwar institutional and commemorative culture. Press text and agency markings present on versos throughout; light wear consistent with newsroom handling. A compact primary record of how twentieth century newspapers pictured captioned and circulated women's scientific authority across research celebrity and public honor. unknown

turn of the century Championship Women's Baseball Team Photo Postcard. "The Western Bloomer Girls-Ladies Champion Base Ball Club-Watervliet Mich." Vintage photo-illustrated postcard of the girls baseball team. No date c. 1911. Eleven uniformed girls pose for a team photograph. 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The Western Bloomer Girls were founded in 1911 by Maud Nelson a renowned pitcher in her own right. "Bloomer Girl" baseball teams of women were formed starting in the 1890s taking their name from Amelia Bloomer who designed loose fitting trousers that women wore while playing sports. Bloomer Girls teams rarely played each other but traveled across America challenging local amateur and minor league men's teams. Bloomer Girls were disciplined sportswomen and frequently won games with their solid skills and competitive spirits. Interestingly these "Boomer Girl" teams were integrated when it came to gender; while most of the players were women each roster had at least one male player.

Figures identified on the verso in handwritten blue ink "Goldie & Irma Wade". The history of women playing the game of baseball dates back to the 19th century. In most cases these early women's baseball teams were considered a novelty act. Permanent teams and leagues were rare but they did exist as evidence by this photograph in which 2 serious ball players pose for the camera. In some rare cases women even played on men's teams; perhaps the case for these two who strangely pose without the rest of their teammates. Minor surface damage with a bit lossof emultion to center of image at knee level. Handling dents. In good to very good condition. unknown books

Women Sports Alaska
The Lightning Strikers. Winners of the Ladies Indoor Baseball League Trophy Nome Alaska 1914
Nome: Lomen Brothers 1914. Silver gelatin print 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Fine. Women's baseball evolved alongside men's leagues beginning in the 1860s with many teams and leagues appearing throughout the following decades often playing indoors and often unrecorded in the annals of baseball history. Women's baseball was particularly popular in Minnesota and parts of the Midwest in the early part of the twentieth century. This photograph bears evidence as to the game's migration to Alaska Territory where long winters would have been particularly conducive to an indoor league. This photograph by the Nome Alaska firm Lomen Brothers shows the champion team of the Ladies Indoor Baseball League in Nome. We find no record in contemporary newspapers or anywhere else of the league. The Nome Brothers were a well-known photographic firm who migrated from Minnesota to Alaska at the height of the Nome Gold Rush in 1903. By 1909 at the end of the gold rush the population of Nome declined substantially to 2500 from 20000 just a few years earlier. This photograph shows interesting documentation of Nome post-rush and also of the spread of women's sports through migrant populations. We find one other example in the Fred Henton collection at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center. A fine example. Lomen Brothers unknown books
