1944rif. 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

1847rif. 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
rif. 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. Two very light horizontal folds and light thumb-soiling with a 2-inch tear at the bottom of the center fold; overall Very Good Condition. unknown
1911rif. 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.

1919rif. 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
