T. Heald Bookbinder Wilmington DE. 141 pp. First printings are rare in the trade and at auction. The work consists of two lectures Mann delivered in 1853 and 1854 in which he explores women's role in society arguing for the importance of education for women and their unique capacity to shape the moral character of those around them. From what we can gather from online sources in these lectures Mann who was the leading early 19th-century proponent of public school education expresses a degree of ambivalence about women's social roles and the relations between men and women. Rather than positing two entirely separate "spheres" for the sexes Mann reframed the traditional "woman's sphere" as a hemisphere - one half of a single shared orb of human interaction - emphasizing that each sex is necessary as the complement of the other. Consistent with his broader educational philosophy Mann believed women were particularly well suited to teaching and to the moral elevation of society and the lectures advocate giving women access to quality education so they can fulfill that role. He also argued that women should be permitted to participate in public life and be accorded the same legal rights as men - though a contemporary feminist critic Ernestine Rose sharply challenged his lectures accusing him of "pandering to prejudiced public opinion" by confining woman's greatest duty to the cradle and to educating children. Overall the work sits in interesting tension: progressive in its call for women's education and rights yet still tethered to 19th-century notions of feminine moral influence and domestic purpose.
