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.

réf. 16564Mr. Mundella's Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour in Factories. 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. Very good condition. unknown books

1948réf. 200371948. African American Ottley Roi. Black Odyssey: The Story of the Negro in America. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1948. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. 340 pages. Measures 6" x 8.5". 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
