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. Textblock is partially detached. Text block clean and bright. Overall good condition. unknown
1939réf. 153491939. Feminism and Women's Rights Hilda Martindale. Autograph Letter Signed. Dated April 24 1939. 1 page. 7 x 4.5 in. Black ink on light blue paper.

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.

1871réf. 147891871. Mott Lucretia. Autograph Quotation Signed 1871 a concise manuscript statement embodying the ethical and political philosophy that undergirded the nineteenth century women's rights and abolitionist movements. Written entirely in her hand Mott declares "Truth for authority not authority for truth" and signs "Lucretia Mott." The formulation distills a foundational principle of antebellum and Reconstruction era reform: the rejection of inherited legal ecclesiastical and political authority when divorced from moral truth and human equality. By 1871 more than two decades after the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments Mott stood as an elder stateswoman of American reform her Quaker convictions shaping a lifetime of advocacy for abolition women's legal equality and freedom of conscience. Mott Lucretia. Autograph Quotation Signed. 1871. One card approximately 4¼ x 3 inches. Composed during the post Civil War period when debates over Reconstruction citizenship and suffrage reshaped the constitutional landscape the statement reflects the continued insistence by early feminists that justice must supersede custom majority rule and patriarchal tradition. The maxim's structure directly challenges hierarchical authority aligning with arguments advanced by Mott and her contemporaries that law and governance derive legitimacy only when grounded in universal moral principles. As a signed and dated manuscript expression of this credo the card functions as a compact primary document articulating the intellectual core of American women's rights ideology. Paper clean with strong legibility and a bold well preserved signature and date. Overall condition: very good. unknown

1993réf. 81602Boston:: Beacon Press 1993. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket. Uncommon in the first edition and especially so signed. First printing. A book which "concentrates on 17th- and 18th-century European developments in taxonomy and physical anthropology to show how the European male became the prototype of the human race; how women were reduced to a subset noted only for sexual differences; and how people of color were placed at inferior levels of the great chain of being on a par with apes. By celebrating sexuality in plants Erasmus Darwin and Linneaus did much to set the stage for thinking of females in terms of sexuality alone - leading Linneaus to choose the term 'mammals' to distinguish the order of warmblooded hairy animals - -but also to underscore women's role as nurturing caretakers. More shocking was the scholars' concern with female genitalia and sexual characteristics." Kirkus Winner of the 1994 Society for Social Studies of Science Ludwik Fleck Prize which noted that her "incisive book draws timely attention to the critical roles of language metaphor and ideology in the development of science." INSCRIBED by the author on the half title page to the late Oklahoma collector Larry Owens. Illustrated with reproductions of vintage drawings.
