Octavo. <br />First Edition First Issue. <br /> <br />The inaugural first issue of Womens Herald one of the first socio-political magazines for women in Russia. The appearance of such a magazine catapulted the public political discussions in Russian intellectual circles about The Woman Question: notions and possibilities of women's emancipation and education. Zhenskiy vestnik / Womens Herald had as its stated objective: to help improve the social conditions for women in Russia. It ran for less than two years September 1866 to 1868. <br /> <br />Discussions about family life and the role of women came under the heading of the woman question. Womens responses contributed to making it one of the burning issues of the day. There emerged three approaches to the woman question. One sought to liberalize the family and the relations between the sexes and to expand womens prerogatives in the public sphere within politically acceptable limits. Another which contemporaries called nihilism advocated more radical measures contending that women should liberate themselves from family despotism and that the patriarchal family should be radically altered even in the opinion of some abolished altogether. The third also involved a radical stance but concentrated on social and political change rather than personal change wishing to postpone until the socialist future the resolution of many issues the woman question included." <br /> <br />Chernyshevskys novel What Is To Be Done was instrumental in helping find solutions to the new challenges young progressive women faced as they stepped increasingly away from the narrow traditional roles within family. Vera Pavlovna the protagonist seeks freedom and independence. This book represents the first attempt by a Russian to combine utopian socialism and feminism Chernyshevskiis sic feminist message is powerful By placing womens oppression at the heart of his novel and by linking its solution so firmly to socialism Chernyshevskii increased mens sensitivity to the woman question. Zhenskiy vestnik continued to push the social questions that were at the very center of Chernyshevskys work questions Dostoevsky was equally concerned about albeit arriving at something far from socialism as the panacea. <br /> <br />Selective contents: V.A. Sleptsov Women's Business; P.N. Tkachev The Impact of Economic Progress on the Position of Women in the Family; G.I. Uspensky Doctors and Patients: Essays on Provincial Mores; N.A.

59580Handwritten transcriptions. c.1923. pp.226 with some illus. 8vo. Hardback. 8vo. A fascinating transcription of twenty complete and one incomplete bryological articles taken from the Journal of Botany the Yorkshire Naturalist and one or two other sources. The articles focus on Yorkshire bryology but also take in individual species and the bryology of the Durham and Ben Lawes areas and were published between 1888 and 1923. The volume ends with the partial transcription to record 337 of George Stabler’s 1888 ‘On the Hepaticae and Musci of Westmorland’. Cloth back boards in thor. vg. condition. Minor spotting to end-papers o/w. contents fine. A unique work. We believe the transcriptions were undertaken by Nicholas Martin Cuthbert 1877-1952 a methodist preacher polymath and conductor of the York Choral Society. The transcriptions then came into the possession of Herbert Stansfield b.1860 choir master at York Minster from 1893 and a member of the York and District Field Naturalists’ Society then remained in the family until we purchased them. hardcover

1934016191London: Longmans Green and Co. Ltd. 1934. Reprint. Hardcover. Mild foxing browning to endpapers. Near Fine. Green cloth with approximately 330 pages printed on thin but strong India paper. An anthology of inspirational writing first published in 1916 during the First World War. With a SIGNED gift inscription from three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder on the front free endpaper: "Charlotte Lincoln/from Thornton/Jan. 3. 1936." The recipient was evidently a relative as both Charlotte and Lincoln are Wilder family names. Thornton Wilder's paternal grandparents were Amos Lincoln Wilder and Charlotte Topliff Wilder. His great-grandmother was Lucy Lincoln. Thornton's Wilder's sister was named Charlotte and he had at least one other close family member an aunt by that name. Our research indicates the Lincoln in "Charlotte Lincoln" was probably a middle name since the Wilders often used family surnames as middle names. Thornton Wilder's middle name for example was Niven his mother's maiden name. Beyond that we were unable to pinpoint exactly which relative "Charlotte Lincoln" was from Wilder's large family. <br/><br/> Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd. hardcover
