1893réf. 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.

1887réf. 174331887. Women's Employment MABEL Robert F. Our Working Women and Their Earnings. United States 1887. First Edition. 13 pages measuring approximately 6" x 10" inches. At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. The article begins "We as a nation have made no effort to teach our redundant female population to support itself although our position as a mother of colonies leaves us with a steadily increasing proportion of women who through the emigration of their male relatives are forces to provide for themselves." and concludes that "a woman's technical training will have still done her a good service in quickening her intelligence and in thus making her a wiser mother to her children and a more sympathetic companion to her husband above all in banishing much care by ensuring to her a means of livelihood in case of need." A compassionate thoughtful appraisal of the state of women's labor and financial prospects in the United States backed up by employment and pay statistics from the end of the 19th century. Cleanly disbound. Chipped along top edge. Toning. Pages clean and uncreased. Overall in good condition. unknown

1747réf. ABC_47930Amsterdam 1747. Folio. Wed. J. van Egmont en Zoon Contemporary half vellum sewn on 3 vellum tapes laced through the joints marbled paper over boards with a heart shaped printed title-label on the front board green ties. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page and 2 decorated woodcut initials in the text. 2 2 blank 53 3 blank pp. Very rare work with the terms of employment of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie VOC. It contains 121 clauses with rules of conduct and an extra chapter with formularies of oaths. This second revised edition was published after some changes had been made to the rules in 1747. This VOC publication is very rare. It is available in just a few libraries and we have only been able to trace one other copy in sales records of the past 100 years.The clauses deal with everything an employee of the VOC could face during employment. They explain exactly who is in charge how to deal with religion on board of the ships when and how payment of wages takes place what the VOC pays in case of injury or death how to climb in rank rations on the ships the repercussions of illegal trading and the rights of former employees. The VOC struggled with staff shortages throughout the 18th century but the situation became especially dire from 1744 onwards. This was in part because the VOC was not known to be a good employer. The present publication can likely be seen as an attempt by the VOC to improve its image as an employer and attract more staff.With an additional loose large square title-label added before the front flyleaf and with the blindstamp of a previous owner "Gulden Passer - Labores et Constantia - HV" on the front and back free flyleaves. As usual the title has been extended with a slip-cancel mounted under the title partially covering the printers device. The edges of the boards are slightly scuffed. The front endpapers the title page and following blank leaf have been reinforced in the gutter with paper the endpapers are slightly browned with a small brown stain on the title-page and first blank leaf.
