Observations of the Employers upon the Speech of Mr. Mundella M.P. made in the House of Commons U.K on Wednesday the 11th of June 1873. Manchester: John Heywood Excelsior Printing Works 1873. 32 pages. First edition. 8 1/4 x 5 in. Original paper wrappers. Includes three data tables in appendix regarding worker mortality rates. Liberal Party politician A.J. Mundella famous for his defense of safety bills and public education for all children speaks on unsafe working conditions and "shameful treatment" of laborers; he cites high mortality rates for women and child workers and includes mortality rate information on newborn infants who suffered neglect when their mothers were forced to return to work days after giving birth: "the return of the mother to the mill was a sentence of death on the child." In this document factory owners counter the speech given by Mundella cite statistics that claim quality of life is improving for these factory workers; while marginal gains had been made in recent decades factory labor was still very dangerous and politicians like Mundella ensured the health and safety for thousands of the least represented workers in England.

Letter between Two Female Teacher in 1855 NY

rif. 1709419th c. Women Education Handwritten letter between female friends at different women seminaries. Jan. 19 1855. "Emily" a teacher at Neversink Seminary in Port Jervis NY writes to a friend Anna Atwood in Elmira NY about starting a Literary Society and raising funds for it. 4 pages folded on a single sheet with 1 page of cross-writing. With original Mailing envelope. Atwood was working at Elmira Collegiate Seminary chartered 1853 just as it was being renamed Elmira College later in 1955; it is the oldest college still in existence which as a women's college granted degrees to women that were the equivalent of those given to men. Regarding the changes at Elmira Collegiate Seminary:"I have been thinking that perhaps I should not be able to recognize your Seminary now for I remember your writing to me some time ago of some improvements that had been made. I presume a change would be less apparent in the persons that occupy it; there are some however whom I think I would recognize as friends." Emily also gives updates on her school Neversink Seminary: "We have just commenced another term of school. Our last closed on the 11th of Jan. We had only a week vacation; just time enough to see the folk at home without making any visits.I must tell you something about our school last term. You will remember it marked an important era in my life. I like teaching very well though I think I have found more pleasure in studying. I like it so long as I can keep my class interested. Sometime I can easily do this at other times I find it more difficult then it is that I get discouraged and think that it would be easier for me to learn a lesson and recite it myself than to see that a half dozen mischievous girls get theirs. I have a class of little boys in the Infant Department just learning to read. I enjoy teaching them very much for I can easily keep their attention beside it is encouraging to me to watch their improvement. We had last term fifteen family scholars. I think one will seldom find so pleasant a company of girls as were gathered here." She also writes about creating a literary society for her students: "Miss Jennings who is ever planning something for the benefit of the pupils suggested last term that we should form a "Literary Association" whose object should be the improvement of its members in the arts of Reading Writing Criticism and Conversation.".She generally appoints for each evening one young lady to write an essay another a tale another a criticism and another to prepare a review of some book. She also appoints one to recite a piece of poetry and another to read an extract from some book. Two are also appointed to open the discussion of some question; after the discussion has been opened any member has a right to present her arguments. It is in the discussion that the conversational powers are cultivated. The members are called upon for their criticisms upon the compositions as they are read.The meetings have thus far been very pleasant and I think very profitable. At the close of the term the Society gave a public entertainment. An admission was charged that funds might be raised for the purpose of furnishing a reading room with papers periodicals etc. for the benefit of the members of the Society. Beside the money taken in at the door several donations were made to the Society." She adds a few lines on the subjects which she is teaching: "I am going now to commence a course of Historical Reading. I commenced French last term but one teacher who was a German and who also taught music took French.and since then I have not taken it up again though we have a very good teacher."

Women's Fight for Employment Equality Employed in the MillsABAA

Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844 -Massachusetts

rif. 16739Women's Fight for Employment Equality. "Lowell Offering. Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844. Pamphlet. The Lowell Offering was a monthly publication run by women working in the Lowell Textile Mill from 1840-1845. Featuring the women's poetry essays and other literary efforts the magazine gave female factory workers the opportunity to share their creative endeavors; for the women who edited and published the periodical the Lowell Offering also provided demonstrable and employable skills in publishing and journalism. This 1844 edition comes from the penultimate year of the publication. It is the earliest piece in the collection. Lowell solved the problem of labor at his mills by employing young women between the ages of 15 and 35 who became known as "mill girls". Unlike European industries which had access to "large landless urban populations whose reliance on the wage system gave them few economic choices" American companies had to grapple with a small labor supply because the population was small and most preferred farming their own land and the economic independence that came with it. In order to persuade these young women to work at a mill they were paid in cash once "every week or two weeks". In line with the Boston Associates' worldview the mill girls were encouraged to educate themselves and pursue intellectual activities. They attended free lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Quincy Adams and read books they borrowed from circulating libraries. They were also encouraged to join "improvement circles" that promoted creative writing and public discussion. unknown books

1893rif. 4179St. Louis: A. R. Fleming & Co 1893. First edition. Near Fine. Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to spine and front board. Brown coated endpapers. A square tight copy with just a bit of rubbing to extremities and light shelfwear to bottom edges of boards. Some cracking to hinges but both holding firm. Internally clean and unmarked collating viii 9-220: complete including frontis. Inscribed on the front endpaper: "Presented by the Author Mrs. Louisa Harris." The first book published by a policewoman in America it is scarce both institutionally and in trade. OCLC reports 23 copies and the modern auction record shows only three; of these only one was signed. 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 often 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.

rif. 16265Woman's Work For Woman A Union Illustrated Magazine Published Monthly by the Women's Foreign Missionary Societies of the Presbyterian Church. Vol. XI No. 1. January 1896. New York. 28 pages. Vertical fold down the center of the booklet with soiling on the front and back cover water damage on the top and right edge of the front cover and small losses on the bottom edge of the back cover. Very rare; OCLC locates no other known copies. Woman's Work for Woman was published from 1890-1904. The magazine contains articles and updates about life in different missionary locations in Asia South America and the Middle East. With most of the submissions by women and with an all women Editorial Committee this magazine is indicative of some of the most acceptable ways for women to participate in public life in the late 19th century. Women were not allowed to participate in Presbyterian church councils or leadership until the mid-twentieth century but working with the Women's Missionary Societies gave new opportunities for writing organizing and leadership positions. In the late 19th century women who sought work outside the home were often criticized for abandoning family and domestic responsibilities but women who pursued religious work did not face this same criticism since they had an altruistic motive. Working on religious causes allowed women agency and independence that they would not be able to access in other occupations.
