1971réf. 102469Paris Association Choisir imprimexpress Joué-les-Tours n.d. c. 1971. Unsigned poster One sheet folio 35 x 71 cm. A colourful poster published in the beginning of the seventies by the 'Association Choisir'. On April 5 1971 in France 343 filmmakers writers actresses singers and philosophers ended a long-held silence. "One million women have abortions each year in France" they wrote in a manifesto published in the magazine Nouvel Observateur. "I declare that I am one of them. I declare that I've had an abortion. We demand open access to contraceptives; we demand open abortion." Written with the help of star intellectual Simone de Beauvoir and signed by celebrities ranging from Catherine Deneuve to Françoise Sagan the text circulated quickly throughout the country. Shortly after Gisèle Halimini an attorney and Simone de Beauvoir co-founded the feminist group Choisir to protect the women who had signed the Manifesto of the 343. In 1972 Choisir formed itself into a clearly reformist body and the campaign greatly influenced the passing of the law allowing contraception and abortion carried through by Simone Veil in 1974. The association is still active under the name "Choisir la cause des femmes".

In-12 (164 x 96 mm), plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches jaspées, xxiv, 423 p. Première édition française de 'Distinction of Ranks in Society' (1771), traduit par J.-B. Suard, le principal ouvrage de John Millar, qui ne sera réédité qu'une seule fois en français (en 1778). Une partie du tirage de la même édition porte le titre de 'Observations sur la distinction des rangs de la société'. Membre de l'école écossaise, élève puis protégé d’Adam Smith, Millar devint avocat et son enseignement à Glasgow remporta un succès considérable. L’ouvrage, qui défend la thèse que les lois fondamentales qui régissent les sociétés reposent sur des facteurs économiques et non politiques, est considéré de ce fait comme l’un des textes précurseurs du matérialisme historique prémarxiste. D'importantes pages plaident pour l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, pour l'abolition de l'esclavage, ou la nécessité d'améliorer les conditions de travail des plus défavorisés. Millar se prononce également en faveur de l'indépendance américaine et d'une large démocratisation du système politique français. Selon Jean Mondot ('Diderot-Raynal et les Lumières écossaises', In "Lumières", 2004, n°3, p. 57), "ce livre constitue la référence principale d'après laquelle Diderot-Raynal composeront leur histoire de l'esclavage". (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 73:1070. France littéraire, VI, 131. I.E.S.S., X, 348-349). Coins légèrement émoussés. Bel exemplaire, très frais, grand de marges, bien relié à l'époque, imprimé en partie sur papier bleuté.

17948vo; Period full leather, 12mo, 246 pages. 3 volumes in 1, as issued. With seperate title page for each volume. Included in the "William B. Cairns Collection of American Women Writers 1650-1940" at UWisc-Madison. WR. I, #2252. Susanna Rowson, née Haswell (1762-1824) was a British-American novelist, poet, playwright, religious writer, stage actress, and educator, considered the first woman geographer and supporter of female education. She also wrote against slavery. Rowson was the author of the 1791 novel Charlotte Temple, the most popular best-seller in American literature until Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was published serially in 1851-1852 and authored the first human geography textbook Rowson's Abridgement of Universal Geography in 1805. Charlotte: A Tale of Truth [was] later reissued in America as Charlotte Temple, where it became the new nation's first best-selling novel. This popular story of seduction and remorse has gone through more than 200 editions. The novel sparked much controversy, both over its content and whether it could actually be considered a novel due to its minimal number of pages. .in 1791, Susanna and [her husband] William took in his orphaned sister Charlotte Rowson and they all turned to acting .In 1793, the three Rowsons were recruited for the Philadelphia theatre company of Thomas Wignell, also performing with them in Baltimore. Over the next three years in Philadelphia, she wrote a novel, an opera, a musical farce about the Whiskey Rebellion (The Volunteers), a poetical address to the American troops, and several songs for the company in addition to performing 57 roles on the stage in two seasons. Rowson's work as a playwright and actor encouraged the growth of performing art in the United States. In response to her seemingly new-found republicanism and the liberal gender roles in her work, Slaves in Algiers, she was attacked by William Cobbett, who referred to her as 'our American Sappho' (she returned fire, calling him a 'loathsome reptile' in her introduction to Trials of the Human Heart).In 1796, Susanna reestablished contact with her old Edinburgh director, John Brown Williamson. He had taken over the Federal Street Theatre in Boston, and the Rowson trio relocated there in part to be closer to the more familiar residence of her youth and her core American literary fan-base. The bankruptcy and major restructuring of the Boston theatre in 1797 would have sent Susanna and William to Charleston, but rather than head south they abandoned the stage after a few summer performances in Newport and Providence, Rhode Island .On leaving the stage, Susanna opened the first 'female academy' in Boston in 1797 'Mrs Rowson's Academy for Young Ladies. The earliest American map samplers (1779,1780) were by students Lydia Withington and Sally Dodge who were educated there and cover detailed images of Boston harbour and islands and detailed street plan. Desiring a more rural setting, Rowson would move her school to Medford, then to Newton, Massachusetts, before returning it to Boston in 1809. She was a leader on female education and also the first woman geographer, publishing the first American education book on geography Rowson's Abridgement of Universal Geography in 1805, a textbook focussing on human geography not maps and including information on the position of women, the cultural, religious, financial and social structure of different continents and in particular the impact of the 'barbarous, degrading traffic' of slavery. She also published Youth's First Steps in Geography in 1811. She managed her school until 1822 and trained hundreds of girls overall. Rowson also continued her writings, producing several novels, an additional work for the stage, a dictionary as well as the two geographies and as a contributor to the Boston Weekly Magazine (18021805). Her educational and literary work helped provide support for a growing household. Having no children of their own, they took in many members of Williams family, including a niece, Rebecca Haswell, who would marry Roxbury mayor John Jones Clarke, becoming great-grandmother of poet E. E. Cummings (Wikipedia). No copy appearing for sale at any major auction house in the last 35 years. OCLC: 9108455.

réf. 102381Amsterdam 1973 - 1974. Size: 215 x 275 cm. 17; 23; 22 10 pp. Illustrated in b/w. Stencilled. Stapled. This short-lived radical feminist magazine was published from 1972 to 1974. Only six issues saw the light of day. It is an important source for the history of feminism and gender studies. Copies are extremely rare and complete sets impossible to find. I have only found three complete sets in libraries all in Amsterdam. Paarse September conisted of four women who became soon famous for claiming in the first issue of their magazine that feminists that stayed heterosexual were not real feminists and could even be considered anti-feminists. Their motto was "Being lesbian is a political choice" Lesbisch zijn is een politieke keuze. After six issues Paarse September stopped in 1974 because they thought their ideas were well known by then.

Troisième édition de cet essai sur le "meilleur gouvernement" que l’auteur composa à l’usage du jeune souverain François Ier, mais également un "brillant tableau juridique et politique de la société française de son temps". En humaniste, l’auteur y défend une conception du consensus et de l’harmonie politique qui rejette Machiavel en accordant une large place aux corps intermédiaires, en particulier au Parlement. "L’un des premiers théoriciens de l’absolutisme français, il en trace à la fois l’étendue et les limites (…). Sa description de la société française au début du XVIe siècle retrace le passage d’une société d’ordres, hiérarchisée et ordonnancée, fondée sur la dignité, à une société dynamique, fondée sur la fortune et le talent" (S. Marin). L’ouvrage contient, à partir de la page 81, un essai sur la loi salique, "première Loy des François". Humaniste d’origine savoyarde, juriste de formation, Claude de Seyssel (1450-1520) a été conseiller de la maison de Savoie, passa au service de Louis XII, devint membre du parlement de Paris, évêque de Marseille puis archevêque de Turin.

Très bon exemplaire, bien relié, très frais, très bien conservé.
