1890réf. 220271890. Women's Education Three lectures on women's education in Victorian England. Wilson J. M. Three Addresses to Girls at School. London: Percival & Co. 1890. First edition. Original printed brown paper wrappers stitched binding no dust jacket as issued. Delivered between 1887 and 1890 these addresses by Reverend J. M. Wilson-former Head Master of Clifton College and Vicar of Rochdale-offer a pointed reflection on the role of education and religion in shaping the intellectual lives of young women in late Victorian Britain. Each speech was delivered at a girls' high school: the first at Clifton High School 1887 the second at Bath and Clifton 1889 and the third at St. Leonard's School St. Andrews 1890. While framed within the conservative moral expectations of the period Wilson's lectures nonetheless emphasize the legitimacy and value of female academic achievement and make a case for structured standardized education for girls-a relatively progressive position for its time. Notably Wilson defends the Higher Certificate Examination as a measure of "absolute merit" asserting that these certificates serve as proof of both academic competence and institutional rigor. In one significant passage Wilson explains how girls at Clifton High School were permitted to pass examinations in stages-two subjects one year and two the next-unlike boys who were expected to complete all four at once. This practical concession reflects both the social constraints placed on girls and an evolving acknowledgment of their academic seriousness. His emphasis on certificates as both a pedagogical guide for teachers and a tool for public accountability is central to his educational philosophy: "They help to make your work definite and sound: and that if it is slipshod you shall at any rate know that it is slipshod." Though clearly reflective of the gendered assumptions of the time the text offers valuable insight into the advocacy for women's structured schooling during the late 19th century. Front cover moderately soiled with edge wear and a small numeric marking to the lower left corner. Front wrapper and end pages detached. Internal pages clean and unmarked aside from a faint institutional stamp on the title page. Overall fair condition. A scarce record of late Victorian attitudes toward women's education notable for its firsthand account of the evolving role of girls' high schools in Britain. unknown
réf. 18017Three Addresses to Girls at School" J.M Wilson. Percival and Co: London 1890. 7" x 5" inches. 74 pages. Soft cover pamphlet. A series of speeches delivered by the vice president of the Clifton High School for Girls in Covent Garden 1890. The speeches were given on "Education" "High School Education for Girls" and "Religion" in 1887 1889 and 1890 respectively. In them Wilson the school's vice president and late head master addresses the female students on the value of their education"You are living in a great age when changes of many kinds are in progress in our political and social and religious ideas. There never was a greater need of trained intelligence clear heads and earnest hearts. And the part that women play is not a subordinate one." Whereas in 1840 60% of British women were illiterate that number dropped dramatically to 40% by 1860 and the momentum for female education picked up considerably through the end of the nineteenth century into the twentieth. Wilson's speeches delivered to high school girls give fascinating insight into both the vision and anxiety bound up in educational reform during the time. "We earnestly desire that women should be highly educated" he writes. "And yet is there not a type of educated woman which we do not wholly admire I am not going to caricature a bluestocking but to point out one or two real dangers. Education is good; but perfect sanity is better still. Sanity is the most excellent of all women's excellences.It is a small matter that you should protest against some small maladjustment or folly; but it is a great matter that you should be perfectly sane and well-balanced. Now education helps sanity." The addresses both promote women's education and caution against radically upending existing social structures. Wilson advises the girls throughout to be gentle humble and sane and celebrates the role educated women play in supporting men in positions of power. Front soft cover detached.

1967Very Good Arabic Original pictorial wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Arabic. 169, [1] p., many ills. First Beirut Edition and early edition in Arabic literature of this classic novel by Salih, who is one of Sudan's greatest authors of the twentieth century. The story is set in the fictional village of Wad Hamid, the same setting as Salih's famous Season of Migration to the North. It is a comic novella, centering on the unlikely nuptials of the town's eccentric Zein. Tall and odd-looking, with just two teeth in his mouth, Zein has made a reputation for himself as the man who falls in love over and over with girls who promptly marry other men, to the point where mothers seek him out in hopes that he will draw the eye of available suitors to their eligible daughters. "The Wedding of Zein" was made into a drama in Libya and won Kuwaiti filmmaker Khalid Siddiq an award at the Cannes Film Festival in the late 1970s. Some critics identify this novella may be considered part of the tradition of magical realism, although Salih considered it as a socialist realist one. Minor stains on cover and edges. Overall a good copy. Only two paper copies in OCLC in Library University of Amsterdam and Leiden University Library: 71470668. It's also the earliest edition in the OCLC.
1930Fine Turkish Original b/w photograph. 8,5x13,5 cm. Shows Yildiz Eruçman and twelve male parachutists and aviators, an aircraft wing with its shadow on the surface. Yildiz Kayalar Eruçman was the first Turkish female parachutist. She was born in Thessaloniki, Kingdom of Greece in 1919. Her family was of Turkish descent, and according to the Population exchange agreement between Turkey and Greece, her family moved to Turkey and settled in Izmir in 1924. In 1934, after the Surname Law, the family assumed the surname Kayalar. Eruçman is her surname by marriage. In 1935, after reading an article in a foreign periodical about female pilots, she applied to the training center of the Turkish Aeronautical Association in Ankara. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's adopted daughter and aviator Sabiha Gökçen personally concerned herself with Eruçman's training. Together with three other women in the training center, namely Edibe Subasi, Nezihe Viranyali, and Sahavet Karapas, she received her aviation certificate. On 4 October 1935, she parachuted from a Soviet-made aircraft of type Polikarpov R-5. She was the first-ever female skydiver in Turkey. In later years, she continued in the same association as a trainer. However, her profession was not officially acknowledged. So, her title was "minaret worker", which was considered one of the most dangerous occupations of that time. A fine and extremely rare image.

1936réf. 160251936. National Woman's Party. Equal Rights March 15 1936 documents the organization's campaign for legal equality at a time when women's workplace legislation divided American feminists over whether sex-specific protections advanced or restricted women workers. Founded in 1916 by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns during the suffrage campaign the National Woman's Party continued after ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment by advocating the Equal Rights Amendment then commonly associated with the Lucretia Mott Amendment and by opposing laws that imposed legal distinctions based solely on sex. This issue addresses the New York minimum wage controversy international equal-rights efforts and proposed workplace protections for women and children. National Woman's Party. Equal Rights. Vol. 22 No. 6. March 15 1936. 4 pages. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Official organ of the National Woman's Party. The issue reports on the New York minimum wage case after the New York Court of Appeals struck down the state law regulating minimum wages for women; the United States Supreme Court subsequently affirmed that judgment in Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo on June 1 1936. It also discusses the Equal Rights Treaty signed at Montevideo by Cuba Ecuador Paraguay and Uruguay part of the National Woman's Party's effort to establish sex equality in international law. Another article addresses workplace hygiene and a resolution requiring employers to provide women with separate quarters for washing changing clothes and general use as well as seats for women and children when the work did not require them to remain standing. Published two years before enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 the issue records a central dispute in interwar women's rights politics: whether legislation written specifically for women offered necessary labor protection or created legal distinctions that could restrict women's employment and undermine demands for equal rights. The National Woman's Party pursued the latter argument while simultaneously campaigning internationally for legal equality between the sexes. The March 1936 issue therefore preserves contemporary evidence of the relationship among the Equal Rights Amendment campaign minimum wage litigation international treaty advocacy and debates over sex-specific workplace regulation.

"These papers are for information only; they are not for publication or distribution. Some of them are not in their final form and will require revision."
