réf. 149944San Francisco: Chronicle Books 1998. First edition of this multidimensional visual portrayal of women’s lives. Quarto original publisher's cloth illustrated with black and white photographs. Presentation copy with a lengthy autograph notecard inscribed by the photographer Mariana Cook to Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid in. The recipient American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.” a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. Fine in a fine dust jacket. From the library of American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Photographic and literary exploration of the relationships between women across different generations.

Whetstones warrant for £100 out of the privy seals dormant. indistinct initials follow.". 1 vols. 4to. Former fold lines per usual; some surface soil to recto of document; heavy surface soil to verso of integral cognate; small perimeter chips and light distress. 1 bifolium 11-3/4 x 8-1/4 in. accomplished entirely in manuscript. Docketed verso: "Sr Tho. Whetstones warrant for £100 out of the privy seals dormant. indistinct initials follow.". 1 vols. 4to. According to David F. Marley's Pirates of the Americas Sir Thomas Whetstone 1630/31-1668 was a nephew of Oliver Cromwell "reduced from a Commonwealth naval Commodore into an impoverished West Indian rover before dying in Spanish hands." Whetstone is described by ODNB as a naval officer and adventurer and a son of the favorite sister of the protectorate. Through nepotism per the protector's "misplaced patronage" Whetsone quickly rose through the naval ranks. He ascended from a volunteer on Penn's flagship in the 1654 expedition to Hispaniola was given command of a ship on the return voyage home and eventually commanded a squadron cruising the waters between Malta and Crete. Whetstone soon became a man of questionable integrity. He flouted orders sold grain seriously needed to sustain the fleet for his own profit quarreled with officers and in general showed high levels of insolence incompetence and dallied onshore avoiding naval duties. Cromwell's death changed Whetstone's fortunes. When it became apparent to political forces that his usefulness as a pawn to control the naval fleet was insignificant Whetsone returned to England at the restoration impoverished and spent. By 1661 he was in a debtor's jail in Marshalsea where he became a royal nuisance by "bombarding" the government for employment and begging relatives for money. Finally to put this embarrassment out of harm's way the King agreed in April 1662 to give Whetstone £100 and to establish him as a Jamaican planter. The money was considered "royal bounty for his encouragement in settling a plantation in the Isle of Jamaica." Additionally Whetsone was given twelve indentured men to help him establish a foothold in the New World. Here then is the material evidence that propels Whetstone towards his destiny in the West Indies. The document is signed "T. Southampton" by Sir Lawrence Tanfield Earl of Southampton Keeper of the Privy Seal. Addressed to and directing Sir Robert Pye auditor of the exchequer and indicating that he is to give Sir Thomas Whetstone £100 ". as of his Majesty's free gift for his incouragement sic in settling a plantation in the Island of Jamaica." With this document a new chapter in Whetstone's life opened upon his arrival in Jamaica in 1662. As Marley notes Whetstone's first actions in the West Indies was not to become a sedentary planter but to be a privateer. With an Indian crew he began operating and raiding off the Cuban coast. Then personally providing recent intelligence to the infamous Sir Christopher Myngs 1625-1666 an English admiral and pirate whose riotous atrocities with his buccaneers were legendary Whetstone joined in Myngs' 1662 sacking of Santiago de Cuba. Myngs was hated by the Spanish and famed for his unbridled cruelty. His atrocities next year in 1663 with pirates Henry Morgan and Abraham Blauvelt would alarm and forced King Charles II to call for a moratorium on further attacks. In the same year Whetstone was likewise endeavoring: on record as commander of a 7-gun Spanish prize manned by sixty souls and noted as one of the "private ships of war belonging to Jamaica." In addition to his exploits at sea Whetsone was heavily involved with the arrest and deposal of the Jamaican Speaker of Assembly Samuel Long on charges of treason in 1664. By 1666 Whetsone himself became Speaker of the Jamaica House of Assembly. Circa this period he was captured by the Spanish on Providencia Island carried as a prisoner to Portobelo and then force-marched to Panama City where he was tossed in the dungeon. So angry were the Spanish at Whetstone's piratical depredations the Governor Juan Perez de Guzman wrote to Madrid blaming the man for planning "all the damage done on these coasts." Whetsone died in Spanish captivity in 1667. See ODNB; Marley Pirates of the Americas pp. 399-405 unknown
