1919réf. 163201919. Ministry of Reconstruction Women's Advisory Committee. Report of the Sub-Committee Appointed to Consider the Position after the War of Women Holding Temporary Appointments in Government Departments 1919 addresses the status of women recruited into temporary government service during World War I and the terms under which they might remain in public employment after demobilization. The report concerns the transition from wartime labor to the permanent Civil Service including questions of women's eligibility for continued appointment equality of treatment with male colleagues pay and the assignment of clerical duties. Produced as the British government confronted the employment consequences of women's expanded wartime service it records official consideration of whether women who had entered departments under emergency conditions should retain a place in the postwar state workforce. Ministry of Reconstruction. Women's Advisory Committee. Report of the Sub-Committee Appointed to Consider the Position after the War of Women Holding Temporary Appointments in Government Departments. Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty. London: Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office 1919. Folio. 8 pages. The sub-committee consisted of six women and two men and was charged specifically with examining the position of women holding temporary government appointments after the war. Its recommendations address routes by which women might become permanent government employees and argue for treatment on terms comparable to male colleagues including questions of equal pay and the expectation that women should not automatically be assigned additional clerical work because of their sex. As an official parliamentary publication rather than an outside campaign tract the report documents how women's wartime employment had become an administrative question within government itself. Women entered British government departments in substantially increased numbers during World War I filling posts created or expanded by wartime administration while large numbers of men were serving in the armed forces. The end of the war raised immediate questions about whether these appointments would be terminated converted into permanent positions or reorganized along sex-segregated lines. This report preserves the Women's Advisory Committee's intervention in that process and records specific arguments over permanence pay duties and women's place in the postwar Civil Service. Modern blue card wrappers with paper label. Very good condition. An official 1919 statement of the employment claims advanced for women whose wartime government service had demonstrated their capacity to perform work previously reserved largely for men. unknown

1847réf. 162581847. Goddard Emily L. Archive of thirteen letters of recommendation and certification 1847-1853 documents a woman teacher establishing her professional qualifications across the common schools of western Massachusetts. Written by school officials and other individuals in Barre Wilbraham New Salem Athol Petersham and surrounding communities the letters certify Goddard's eligibility to teach in particular districts or attest to her general qualifications for common-school instruction. Spanning six years the correspondence records the repeated process by which a woman teacher obtained written approval and recommendations as she sought successive teaching positions in antebellum New England. Thirteen manuscript letters 1847-1853 concerning Emily L. Goddard's qualifications and employment as a teacher in western Massachusetts. The documents originate from multiple towns including Barre Wilbraham New Salem Athol and Petersham and consist principally of certifications and recommendations addressing Goddard's ability to teach a common school. The individual letters preserve the assessments she carried between districts as evidence of her preparation and prior work. Their geographic range and successive dates trace a professional record extending beyond a single appointment or school and show how recommendations from local authorities could accompany a teacher seeking employment elsewhere. Goddard's papers date from the expansion of the Massachusetts common-school movement when public education reform increased demand for teachers and teaching became an increasingly important occupation for women. Women's employment in common schools expanded substantially during the nineteenth century although hiring certification salaries and continued employment remained subject to local school authorities. This archive records those practices through one teacher's surviving credentials: thirteen documents produced over six years as Goddard accumulated certifications and endorsements in several Massachusetts communities. Fold lines and creases with very little foxing; handwriting remains clear and legible throughout. All thirteen letters in very good condition. A sustained documentary record of a woman building a teaching career within the local certification and recommendation practices of antebellum Massachusetts. unknown
réf. 16266Working Girls' Society. Circular of the Working Girls' Society late nineteenth century sets out the rules and benefits of a New York organization created for wage-earning women. The Society provided working women with rooms for social meetings classes reading and recreation after working hours while its bylaws governed membership and access to the organization's facilities. Contemporary accounts of New York working girls' clubs describe them as cooperative organizations in which members pursued self-education social activity and practical assistance rather than simply receiving charity. Circular of the Working Girls' Society. New York: Working Girls' Society n.d. Bylaws governing membership and use of the Society's library and rooms at 222 West 38th Street. The circular describes benefits available to members including special vacation privileges and discounted railway tickets combining educational and social provisions with practical assistance for women earning wages in the city. The regulations document the daily administration of a women's club formed around the needs of an expanding urban female workforce and show how membership could provide access to books meeting rooms instruction recreation and reduced-cost travel. The circular survives from the period in which working women's clubs expanded in New York; by the early twentieth century contemporary descriptions traced the movement to clubs organized during the 1880s and emphasized their classes member government and opportunities for social intercourse and self-improvement.

1911réf. 182771911. Imperial size albumen portraits of faculty and students at American Medical College. St. Louis Missouri 1911. Large photo measures 24 x 20 inches. 40 subjects every one of them male except for a single female student listed below as "F Heflin." Photographed by Hays Studio. Mounted to photographer's board. The American Medical College a medical school founded in 1873 graduated its first woman in 1888. In 1911 the American Medical College combined with the Barnes Medical College. The following year the combined school became the Medical Department of the National University of Arts and Sciences in St. Louis. The National University then merged with the St. Louis College of Physicians and Surgeons around 1915. Female students like this one would have come in at a significant disadvantage proving her qualifications against skepticism in a field notorious for gender discrimination. The value of female doctors for female patients in particular has been profound. Board scuffed on one side does not affect images or text. Chipped at corner and top does not affect images or text.

1944réf. 3081N.p. but perhaps Oakland or Berkeley 1944. Very good. Printed broadside 5.25 x 8 inches. Minor foxing and staining light edge wear penciled note covering most of verso. A small and apparently unrecorded broadside calling for African Americans interested in working as bus drivers and street car operators in the San Francisco Bay Area during the latter portion of World War II. The notice calls for interested parties to apply at the offices of the East Bay Employment Association between 4:00 and 8:00 PM between December 1 and 9 1944. We could locate no information on the East Bay Employment Association but it was almost certainly located in either Oakland or Berkeley. This employment advertisement was perhaps the result of a wartime shortage of bus drivers and street car operators in the Bay Area. We could locate no other copies of this interesting and somewhat mysterious broadside. unknown

1878réf. 189841878. Watherston Edward J. The Industrial Employment of Women in France Compared with England. London: Spottiswoods and Co. 1878. French Silk Manufactures and the Industrial Employment of Women. London: Dryden Pres - J Davy and Sons 1879. Both measure 8.5" x 5.25". 16 and 23 pages respectively. The 1878 pamphlet "The Industrial Employment of Women in France." is a comparative analysis of the labor participation rate of women in France and in England. French women were much more integrated into the labor market this study finds even despite the fact that England had a disproportionate demographic surplus of women and an even more developed industrial sector. At the conclusion of the pamphlet Watherston proposes three major steps spur female employment in England based off the French example which are the: "1. Establishment of special training schools for certain trades following a preliminary general education. 2. These training schools. must be made self-supporting within a short time. All pupils must pay a moderate fee for being taught. 3. There should be union of the managers of training schools with all manufacturers wishing to employ female labour. The union must aim both to give employment to women and to advise as to the directions in which it may be sought and into which it may be extended." Watherston lays blame for the poor labor participation rate of English women at the fact that they are barred from major employment sectors such as the railways as well as a private sector which demonstrated no inclination to hire them. He concludes that English women need organization first and foremost and should establish a "Society for the Industrial Employment of Women". The second pamphlet focuses on first the history of the French silk industry and later women's employment within it noting the unique advances that the French female silk workers enjoyed. Watherston notes that "Other countries before France made use of female labour but the French were the first who employed not only as we do the hands but also the brains of women. The technical education of female workers took place simultaneously with that of the men and it is to the results of this that not a little of the excellence of the French silk manufactures of the present day is due." Watherston goes on to examine the silk manufacture at Jujurieux which took in young women from a rural underdeveloped region and lodged fed and rigorously trained them in silk production. In both of these pamphlets he highlights and endorses enterprises that transform women into workers often through a process that includes living and training amongst fellow apprentices for years at a time. There is a prevailing belief that women must be engineered into working class subjects through this total immersion but with a confidence that they are technically and intellectually skilled enough should they be properly acclimated.

1935réf. 153591935. American League Against War and Fascism. Women War and Fascism 1935 links women's labor conditions in the United States to the League's broader campaign against militarism and fascism during the Depression. The pamphlet protests the employment of women as low-paid labor in factories and offices describes dangerous work performed by women in munitions plants condemns long hours and unequal wages and calls for the defeat of discriminatory legislation and equal pay for equal work. Founded in 1933 the American League Against War and Fascism brought communists socialists liberals labor activists and clergy into a national coalition opposed to war and the expanding power of fascist governments. Its appeal for supporters to "defend peace democracy and the rights of the working people" joined opposition to fascism abroad with labor and civil-liberties campaigns in the United States. American League Against War and Fascism. Women War and Fascism. New York: The American League Against War and Fascism 1935. Original paper wrappers. 18 pages. The text identifies women's low wages as both a labor issue and a feature of militarized industrial production drawing particular attention to women employed at hazardous tasks in munitions plants for long hours and inadequate pay. Its demand that "women's wages be made equal with men's for equal work" places wage discrimination alongside discriminatory laws as conditions requiring organized political opposition. Published as Hitler consolidated Nazi rule in Germany Mussolini prepared and commenced Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and Japanese military expansion continued in Asia the pamphlet shows how the League connected developments abroad with domestic labor organizing and resistance to American militarization. The pamphlet was issued during the growth of Popular Front anti-fascist organizing several years before the United States entered the Second World War and records an effort to place women workers within campaigns against both economic exploitation and militarism. Its combination of equal-pay demands criticism of dangerous industrial labor and anti-fascist politics documents an early convergence of women's labor activism and organized opposition to fascism in the United States.

1940réf. 223731940. Women's EmploymentLaborFeminismWWII Archive of ten original photos documenting American women's industrial labor during the 1930s and 1940s. Original black-and-white press photographs taken in various factories during World War II including steel works textiles candy production and industrial assembly lines. Stamped by press agencies including Acme Newspictures Brown Brothers and International News Photos several with annotated captions on verso. This collection of press photos captures the pivotal moment when women entered the industrial workforce en masse replacing men who were fighting overseas. These images were part of a wartime propaganda campaign to normalize and promote women's factory work paving the way for long-term shifts in gender roles in the American labor force. In one striking image captioned by the N.E.A. press service as "Portrait for Mother's Day" a steel worker identified as Mrs. Neel of Gary Indiana is praised as "the American Mother- 1943 style" echoing the iconic Rosie the Riveter with a new image of female patriotism: overalls bandanna badge and goggles in hand. Another shows women boxing chocolates along a conveyor line while several others reveal the mechanical precision and physical intensity of jobs in textile finishing labeling and industrial equipment handling. This archive is emblematic of the historical inflection point that sparked the modern women's labor movement. The war effort validated women's technical skills and economic participation giving rise to a postwar generation of women who emboldened by their wartime service laid the intellectual and organizational groundwork for second wave feminism. Many of these workers would later confront the "return to domesticity" in the 1950s and become active in labor organizing civil rights and feminist causes by the 1960s. Light edge wear. Overall good to very good condition. A photographic archive capturing the genesis of modern women's industrial labor and the cultural origins of second wave feminism in the WWII workplace. unknown

1950réf. BK0056Washington D.C.: Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service 1950. Original gelatin silver press photograph showing Paul Robeson picketing in front of the White House carrying a large placard reading "Enact F.E.P.C. / Anti-Lynch Law / Abolish Poll Tax / Amend Taft-Hartley / Housing / Republican Party Platform." Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service credit stamp and original typed caption to verso with later Globe Photos label. 8 x 10 inches. Light handling wear and creasing otherwise very good. A photograph of Paul Robeson demonstrating directly outside the Truman White House. The original Harris & Ewing caption identifies him as leading representatives of the Progressive Party who "began picketing the White House today asking for more positive action by President Truman on FEPC." The demands on Robeson's placard reflect the stalled federal civil rights agenda of the period. Roosevelt had created the Fair Employment Practice Committee in 1941 after A. Philip Randolph threatened a mass march on Washington over discrimination in defense employment. Truman's President's Committee on Civil Rights subsequently recommended a permanent FEPC federal anti-lynching legislation and abolition of the poll tax; in February 1948 Truman formally asked Congress to enact those measures. The Progressive Party's 1948 platform had called for immediate anti-poll tax legislation and an expansive federal civil-rights program. By 1950 however the major legislative proposals remained blocked in Congress. . Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service unknown
1900réf. 200911900. Telephone operator photo archive circa 1900 to 1958 documents women's labor within telephone exchange systems showing how urban communications depended on trained female operators seated at switchboards connecting calls handling information and maintaining the human infrastructure behind early and mid twentieth century telephone service. The material documents telephone communication labor through photographs of switchboard rooms operators wearing headsets plug boards supervisory presence and grouped clerical activity revealing how connection work operated in practice before automated dialing fully displaced manual exchange work. The archive supports research into women's wage labor communications history gendered office work New York telephone service and the disciplined workplace culture that positioned young women as the public voice and operational center of the telephone network. The archive consists of six black-and-white photographs including five silver gelatin photographs and one early albumen photograph with images measuring from approximately 3.5 x 4.25 inches to 7 x 9 inches. The date range appears to extend from the early twentieth century to 1958 based on the later dated images. Several photographs show women seated in tight rows facing large switchboards wearing heavy headsets with horn mouthpieces and working among dense arrangements of cords and plugs. The early albumen photograph shows a row of women facing the switchboards while a female supervisor watches over the room indicating both the gendered hierarchy and procedural discipline of the exchange floor. One image shows an operator turning toward the camera with a plug in hand smiling while gesturing toward the board. Four smaller photographs dated 1958 show teams of women moving between boards and a small group with paperwork behind the operating area; pencil inscriptions on the versos identify the location as New York. The photographs are valuable because they make visible the labor system behind telephone service: rows of operators standardized equipment supervisors paperwork and the coordinated manual routing of calls. They also record the gendered character of communications work in which women's voices posture speed and manner were made part of the service itself. Light handling wear minor edge wear and expected age toning; images remain crisp with equipment and personnel details clearly visible; overall very good. Strong women's labor and communications history archive documenting the human operation of telephone exchange systems across the first half of the twentieth century and into the postwar period. unknown

1979réf. 227401979. Korean-American Women's Employment Fashion Photo Album of a Korean-American dressmaker students and Korean pageant shows 1960s. Provenance unknown but most photos seem to be on the East Coast with a few in Korea. Collection of approximately 45 black and white and color Polaroid prints housed in a black faux-leather spiral album. Album measures 11" x 5.5" and photos approximately 3.5" x 3" each. Some have captions in Korean and/or English en verso. An evocative and culturally layered mid-century photo album documenting the life and career of a Korean American woman likely working as a tailor or dressmaking instructor in the United States during the 1960s. The album juxtaposes scenes of professional life of classroom instruction fashion shows and tailoring studios with moments of leisure and family portraiture in both Western and traditional hanbok attire that together reflect the hybrid social world of Korean immigrant professionals in postwar America. Several photographs show groups of women inside a sewing or fashion studio including one captioned in English on the verso "Me and my students." Other images depict a 1964 Miss Korea pageant with contestants modeling Western evening gowns and swimsuits possibly wearing designs by the album's compiler. Some of these images have handwritten captions in Korean script en verso. The pageant scenes bearing visible banners in Korean script suggest ties to Korean American community networks and cultural events that celebrated modern femininity and national identity during a period of postwar reconstruction and Diaspora visibility. Korean Americans in the 1960s represented a small but rapidly growing immigrant community shaped by both Cold War geopolitics and the aftermath of the Korean War. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which abolished national-origin quotas marked a turning point that encouraged the arrival of highly educated professionals including teachers engineers nurses and artists many of whom were women. These new immigrants often balanced preservation of traditional Korean customs with adaptation to American professional and social norms forming churches cultural associations and language schools that became vital centers of community life. Within this historical frame the album reflects the self-fashioning of a generation striving for both cultural dignity and modern achievement a narrative rarely preserved through visual documentation especially among women engaged in skilled trades and design education. Light wear to album exterior minor toning to some prints though images remain crisp and clean. Overall very good condition. unknown

1893réf. 6644St. Louis: A. R. Fleming & Co 1893. First edition. Very Good. Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to spine and front board. Brown coated endpapers. Some wear to corners and head and tail of spine. Some staining to covers and corresponding dampstaining to corners of endpapers. A very good copy internally clean and unmarked. Collating viii 9-220: complete including frontis. The first book published by a policewoman in America. Despite assumptions to the contrary "women have served in organized law enforcement in the U.S. almost from the beginning. The first police departments in America were established in the 19th century and in 1845 women began working as matrons in New York City jails" Smith. The practice rapidly spread across the country where police forces needed assistance in supervising female prisoners and dealing with the specific challenges faced by this population. Women's clubs -- particularly the American Female Moral Reform Society and the Women's Christian Temperance Union -- urged recognition for the widespread violence perpetrated on female prisoners and called for meaningful change. "It was these women's groups that fought for these distinctly female positions demanding there was a need for women to take care of women.and they provided police departments with funds for paid matron positions until the government could be convinced of the necessity of having women in the police force" Maiorano. Louisa Harris having served in the prisons and courts of Missouri for nearly a decade became the first of these women to publish about her experience. The resulting narrative reflects an awareness of the social forces that put women at a disadvantage driving them toward arrests or recidivism. Domestic violence poverty and the stigma placed on sex work all do damage to women; and according to Harris these women should not be treated as or placed with violent offenders when they could with proper assistance find safety or build more secure lives. This is the motivation for Harris' memoir. In the introduction she explains that while she hesitated to publish the book which might in some readers awaken a "morbid curiosity" she ultimately moved ahead because "I reasoned that if the world knew more about the unfortunate and their revolting experiences together with the causes that promote misfortune there might be more true sympathy exhibited.While I have from personal observation become familiar with so-called criminals I have had the opportunity to learn many of the causes of the committal of crimes. The law seldom recognizes the palliating influences but humanity should." Harris calls for reforming the handling of juvenile offenders advocates for therapeutic programs for young women and taps into a number of other systemic issues of concern within policing today.

1916réf. 183494London: Chiswick Press 1916. First edition of this illustrated government publication promoting women's wartime employment. Women's War Work contains a detailed list of several hundred roles left vacant by men that women successfully fulfilled. Several of these are demonstrated by characterful photographs which show women employed in a range of professions including the postal service factories breweries and shops. The War Office recruited women into the workplace to maintain productivity produce munitions and ensure that as many men as possible were available for the Armed Forces. By July 1916 it was estimated that 750000 women across Britain had taken up such work and the War Office produced Women's War Work in September to further increase their numbers. The preface asserts that employers who had women in their workface would "readily admit that the results achieved by the temporary employment of women far exceed their original estimates and even so are capable of much further extension" p. 5. Women's contributions to the war effort drastically changed public perception of their capabilities and helped women over 30 to achieve enfranchisement in 1918. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Quarto. 72 black and white photographs. Drab paper wrappers front and rear cover printed in black.

The six publications move from the Kentucky Advisory Committee's reporting on discrimination in Louisville Lexington Frankfort and Hopkinsville through the federal legal apparatus created around the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Executive Order 11246 then into national organizing and statistical analysis of racial disparities during the following decade. By 1975 Fact Sheets on Institutional Racism framed inequalities in business ownership banking education housing media health and government as products of "White Control and Minority Oppression" extending the group's documentary range from laws against discriminatory acts to an analysis of the institutions in which racial inequality persisted.

Those amendments successively extended protection into employment hotels and restaurants broader public accommodations and real estate transactions while enlarging the Commission's investigatory and subpoena powers and in 1972 authorizing investigation of complaints of sex discrimination. 5 YWCA of the U.S.A. National Convocation on Racial Justice. Americana Hotel New York City June 15 1972.

McGeorge Bundy among its speakers. 6 Foundation for Change Inc. and Council for Interracial Books for Children. Fact Sheets on Institutional Racism: White Control and Minority Oppression. August 1975. Organized under the headings Economy Health Housing Education Media Government and Census the publication compiles contemporary statistics from sources including the U.S. Bureau of the Census Black Enterprise Ebony Jet and the Economic Priorities Report. Its economy section reports that Black Americans owned 1.2 percent of business equity 1.2 percent of farm equity and 0.1 percent of stock equity; that only one of 650 seats on the American Stock Exchange belonged to a Black firm; and that Black Americans held 72 of 14000 directorships among the 1000 largest corporations. The publications record successive stages in the institutional response to racial discrimination. The Kentucky report belongs to the period when state advisory committees gathered local testimony and documented unequal treatment before the principal federal civil rights legislation of the mid 1960s; the Kansas pamphlet records how one state repeatedly enlarged the jurisdiction and enforcement powers of its civil rights commission between 1953 and 1972. The 1969 federal employment guide shows the resulting network of statutes executive authority complaint procedures commissions and sanctions through which nondiscrimination became an administrative responsibility extending across private employment public employment organized labor and federal contracting. The fair housing piece translates the same legal and political struggle into direct public persuasion while the 1972 YWCA program places elected officials including Dellums and Chisholm within a national organizational campaign for racial justice. By 1975 Fact Sheets on Institutional Racism measured disparities that remained after more than a decade of civil rights legislation citing ownership corporate governance banking and income statistics to argue that formal legal equality had not altered the distribution of economic power.
