1919rif. 149951919. National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs plaque 1919 commemorates the founding year of a national organization created to coordinate and advance the interests of business and professional women. Established on July 16 1919 after wartime efforts to identify women's professional skills and experience the Federation developed from organizing associated with the Women's War Council and the mobilization of women workers during World War I. Its formation preceded ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 and placed questions of women's employment professional advancement and political participation within a national organizational structure. Large bronze embossed seal of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs mounted on wood and dated 1919. The Federation was organized at its first national convention in St. Louis in July 1919 under the leadership of Lena Madesin Phillips with Gail Laughlin elected its first national president. Early Federation work included a national survey of business and professional women addressing their status qualifications opportunities and working conditions providing an organized basis for advocacy concerning women's economic and professional life. The plaque dates from the Federation's founding year when women were entering professional occupations in greater numbers while still lacking federally protected voting rights nationwide. The organization continued to advocate on issues affecting working women and to promote professional development leadership and economic opportunity. The bronze seal mounted on wood survives as an organizational artifact from the Federation's establishment in 1919 one year before ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment extended constitutional protection for women's suffrage nationwide. unknown

1910rif. 175081910. Women Employment Feminism and Women's Rights Summary of Eight Papers and Discussions Upon the Disabilities of Mothers as Workers. London: Fabian Women's Group 1910. Measures 8.5" x 5" inches. 32 pages. This pamphlet summarizes the problems that arise from the modern expectation of women to work difficult industrial jobs as well as the traditional duties of motherhood. This pamphlet was produced by the Fabian Women's Group which acted as a suffrage pressure group directed at the Labour Party that also advocated for women workers. The summarized section was edited by Charlotte Payne Townshend wife of George Bernard Shaw. Paper titles include: The Physical Disabilities of Maternity The Influence of Hygiene and Physical Culture upon the Disabilities of Motherhood The Effects upon children of the Mother's Activity Outside the Home and more. From "Motherhood and Industrial Work" Frau Lily Braun states: "The evils of exploited labor are seen at their worst in the employment of married women with children. The wages of many a workman do not suffice for family maintenance and the wife's work is absolutely essential to make up what is needed.In the early morning she starts for her work; and the cooking washing cleaning and sewing must be done in the evening by an overtaxed wearied woman. Premature age and spiritual exhaustion are the result." Some minor stains from rusted staples in the gutter of the spine not affecting text. Overall in very good condition. unknown

1936rif. 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.

1873rif. 165771873. Boucherett Jessie. Legislative Restrictions on Women's Labour 1873 challenges proposed factory legislation limiting the hours and conditions under which women including mothers of young children could work arguing that such measures deprived adult women of authority over their own employment while providing no substitute for lost wages. Boucherett identifies the principle underlying the legislation as itself objectionable: "Another objection is that the Bill confirms the principle that women are not capable of deciding for themselves." Her opposition arose from the practical circumstances of women whose earnings supported themselves and their children placing employment restrictions within a larger debate over women's legal independence wages and control of their own labor. Boucherett Jessie. Legislative Restrictions on Women's Labour. London: Frederick Bell & Co. 1873. First edition. Reprinted by kind permission from the Englishwoman Review for the Vigilance Association for the Defence of Personal Rights. 12 pages. Original paper wrappers. 8 x 5 inches. Boucherett acknowledges the protective rationale behind the proposed measures writing "It has caused some surprise that Bills framed for so benevolent a purpose should have met with opposition from an unexpected quarter" before detailing their possible consequences for working women. She argues that reducing women's access to factory employment without guaranteeing family maintenance could produce "much suffering and some crime" since "it would always be difficult and sometimes impossible for a woman to provide sufficient food for herself and four or five little children." Her argument therefore distinguishes between women with independent means and wage-earning women for whom statutory restrictions could immediately reduce the household's supply of food and other necessities. Boucherett had founded the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women in 1859 and spent much of her career seeking expanded training and occupations for women; this pamphlet applies the same concern for economic independence to parliamentary attempts to regulate female industrial labor. Its publication also formed part of a contemporary controversy over proposals associated with Alexander Mundella and John Lubbock to extend restrictions governing women's factory employment. Rather than opposing regulation solely in the name of laissez-faire principles Boucherett bases her case on women's need to earn wages their responsibility for dependent children and their right to make employment decisions for themselves.

rif. 16260Broadside calling on women to join a mass demonstration against reductions to the WPA 1937 documents organized opposition to cutbacks in one of the New Deal's principal employment programs during the continuing economic instability of the Great Depression. Addressing women specifically the broadside argues that WPA reductions threatened not only workers directly employed by the program but wage standards more broadly warning that increased unemployment would place downward pressure on earnings. Its appeal places women within contemporary campaigns over public employment wages and federal responsibility for economic relief. Broadside calling women to protest WPA cuts. Issuer not identified. 1937. 8.5 × 11 inches. The text urges women to participate in a mass demonstration protesting cuts to WPA funding and asks them to consider both their direct relationship to federal work programs and the wider consequences of rising unemployment. By connecting reduced WPA employment with falling wages the broadside frames the demonstration as a labor issue extending beyond current relief workers and calls upon women to participate in organized political action against the reductions. Very fragile with small tears and chips along the top and right edges; overall Good Condition. The broadside preserves direct evidence of women being recruited into Depression-era labor protest and of arguments linking New Deal employment programs to wage conditions across the broader workforce. unknown

1873rif. 165671873. Kinnear John Boyd. The Right of Women to Labour 1873 argues against restrictions on women's employment and examines the economic consequences of industrialization for women who depended upon paid work. Kinnear a Scottish lawyer writer and later Liberal politician rejects occupational exclusion based on sex writing "there are other things which women can do at least as well as men.Then why should women not do it" His argument extends beyond access to employment to the conditions under which women worked including their difficulty in "forming effective trade unions to secure their rights." The pamphlet thus addresses both women's right to enter occupations and their limited power to protect themselves collectively once employed. Kinnear John Boyd. The Right of Women to Labour. Being Portions of an Essay Re-printed by Permission from "Woman's Work and Woman's Culture." London: Printed by Frederick Bell & Co. Chelsea S.W. 1873. First edition. 14 pages. The text reprints portions of Kinnear's contribution to Josephine Butler's Woman's Work and Woman's Culture first published in 1869 a collection addressing women's education employment legal status suffrage and professional opportunities. Kinnear argues that mechanization and the movement of production from households into factories had eliminated forms of work traditionally performed by women while exposing those who remained in industrial employment to increased competition. He answers these changes by demanding access to work according to ability rather than sex and by identifying workers' collective organization as a means of defending wages and employment rights. Published amid nineteenth-century campaigns to expand women's access to education professions property rights and political participation Kinnear's pamphlet concentrates specifically on economic independence and the organization of women workers. One pamphlet 14 pages in original paper wrappers measuring 8 x 5 1/4 inches. Very good condition. Its discussion of occupational exclusion mechanization and trade union organization records an early argument that women's economic rights required both access to paid employment and the ability to defend their position within the labor market. unknown

A women's labor broadside calling attention to the modification of "labor laws relative to the hours of labor" for women and minors in New York. Decorated in bold black lettering the slogan reads "Workingmen Want this Bill!" followed by the contention that the bill "provides for a half holiday on Saturday for women and minors employed on factories without the necessity of working overtime on other days of the week". This is succeeded by the presentation of the act by "The People of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly with excerpts from Sections 1 2 3 and 77. Section 77 states that "Hours of labor of minors and women--No minor under the age of eighteen years and no female shall be employed at labor in any factory in this State before six o'clock in the morning or after nine o'clock in the evening of any day or for more than ten hours in any one day of sixty fifty six hours in any one week nor more than six hours on the last day of the week.".

Born in New York City in 1906 Black author and journalist Roi Ottley began his career as a reporter for the New York Amsterdam Star-News. He went on to serve as publicity director for the National C.I.O. War Relief Committee and served as a war correspondent in the 1940s. Here he "traces the strange history of his race in America from the very beginning up to the present day. In early colonial times the Negro was a free and often respected individual; as the colonies grew and cheap labor was needed he was reduced to the status of a slave." The book includes historical moments as well as personal anecdotes from interviews and covers a wide range of events "from the day in 1664 when Maryland became the first colony to legalize slavery through the dark days of servitude to the Emancipation Proclamation and the beginning of the Negro's modern history as a free but segregated citizen." Dust jacket has only minor wear with a small piece of visible tape-repair at the top of spine. Pages are very clean and texblock still tight. Overall in very good condition. unknown
