Women: New YorkABAA

IN ASSEMBLY - MARCH 6 1802. COMMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE HOUSE. AN ACT TO BAR CERTAIN FEMES COVERT FROM DOWER caption title

1802WRCAM55701Albany 1802. Letterpress broadside 13 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches. Docketed on verso. Old folds light foxing. Very good. Untrimmed. An unrecorded slip-bill printing of an act presented in the New York state legislature in 1802 to prevent widows of Loyalists from receiving dowers for confiscated property. It is evidence not only of continuing acrimony toward Loyalists and attempts to profit from their financial losses but also of continued legal efforts to keep women economically dependent in Federal-era America. This act was probably considered or presented in conjunction with an "Act to Facilitate the Discovery and Sale of the estates of Attainted Persons" that passed in the same session. That act allowed New Yorkers who discovered property owned by Loyalists and subject to forfeiture under its 1779 Forfeiture Act to receive a twenty- five percent share of the proceeds of the sale of this newly-discovered property. The present slip bill calls for preventing widows of deceased Loyalists from receiving any property deemed subject to confiscation. "Femes covert" is a legal term meaning simply "married woman." The final act as passed on March 31 1802 does not mention widows of deceased Loyalists but speaks simply of heirs to confiscated lands. "During the American Revolution many states passed laws allowing them to seize the property of known loyalists. So-called 'confiscation laws' effectively criminalized dissent against the American Revolution. The seizure and sale of loyalist property also raised revenue for the state by redistributing property from Loyalists to the rest of the community. Many new states established their legitimacy in the eyes of their constituents by depriving certain people of their right to property. New York built one of the most robust property confiscation regimes. In fact New Yorkers started seizing loyalist property even before the state ratified its Constitution. In March of 1777 the Provincial Convention - a provisional government - created in counties under Patriot control 'Committees of Sequestration' which seized property abandoned by Loyalists auctioned it off and sent those funds to the state treasurer.Alexander Hamilton made his legal career by representing former loyalists in lawsuits where they tried to reclaim seized property. Many of the loyalists Hamilton represented were quite wealthy and Hamilton believed these men and their capital would prove critical for building the United States. He wanted them to reintegrate into American society. Resolving disputes over property confiscation was a critical first step in accomplishing that goal and enabling the broader transition from violent revolution into routine civil government. Hamilton won in New York. Most other states also successfully reintegrated loyalists. The United States Constitution even includes a clause prohibiting bills of attainder the broad category of laws under which confiscation acts fell. It took away from democratic state legislature this coercive and punitive power to enforce political conformity" - Boonshoft. The legal discourse on attainder and the confiscation of Loyalists' property in the state of New York seems to be largely silent on the issue of widows' rights. The present broadside illuminates a dark corner of this rather difficult issue and helps bring to light yet another instance when the rights of women in early America were often null. Slip-bills' were printed in small numbers for the use of members of legislatures as a bill is being debated and considered. They are quite uncommon survivals and significant evidence of legislative intent and process. This slip-bill is unrecorded with no copies in auction records nor in OCLC.

Women Nursing Spanish American War Congregation of American SistersABAA

Photographic and Manuscript Archive of a Nurse in the Spanish-American War Containing Over Ninety Photographs of Military Scenes in Cuba and Florida Surrounding the Conflict c. 1899

1900List518Most Cuba or Jacksonville 1900. Silver gelatin or albumen photographs various sizes ranging from 3 x 3 to 6 x 8 most captioned to verso. With handwritten manuscript four leaves discussing various diseases. The Spanish-American War was the first war in which nurses formed their own dedicated units as well as the first war in which they were accepted within military hospitals. While no nurses died in battle 153 died during the war from disease. Nurses were responsible for both treating soldiers as well as maintaining sanitary conditions within the camps. Conditions were often poor leading some to work until they were too sick to continue. The current collection of photographs documents the experiences of a Mrs. Waters who was originally from Groton Massachusetts. The collection begins with a couple early photographs including a portrait as a young woman and a cyanotype of one of Waters' leprosy patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The next section shows Waters' training in Jacksonville Florida with either the Fourth or Seventh Army Corps at what was called Camp Cuba Libre both Corps trained there in 1898. The photographs of Jacksonville show life around the military camp and environs with some notable photographs of African-American inhabitants of the region. Three photographs quite notably show the Congregation of American Sisters a small group of American Indian nuns led by Reverend Francis Craft. The photographs taken in Cuba are notable for their portrayal of local life. Several photographs of military installations are taken around the "trocha" or line established by General Valeriana Weyler from Mariel to Majana. Another notable photograph is a cabinet card of a large group of nurses taken by the Havana photographer R. Testar. The group overall shows very early photographic records of military nurses in training as well as a scarce photographic record from a woman in a combat situation. The photographs are generally well preserved in very good to excellent condition with some light fading. Accompanying the photographs is a four page manuscript essay presumably by Waters discussing leprosy as well as the booklet Spanish Phrase Book for American Soldiers and Sailors published by the National Relief Commission of Philadelphia. Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver Gallery. books

A Few Words on Behalf of the Loyal Women of the United States by One of Themselves

18632488New York: Wm. C. Bryant & Co Printers 1863. First edition. Very Good . Original paper wraps. 23 pages. Number 10 in a series of 17 pamphlets addressing the causes and outcomes of the Civil War. One of two variant printings with no priority assigned this with page 23 beginning "attempt at corrupting." Some separation to the foot of spine with text block holding well. Soiling and edgewear to front wrap; rusted imprint of paperclip affecting top of pages 13-15. Small blot to text of page 13. Else a solid copy of this important work which suggests that all women who have survived the Civil War deserve credit for their strength and sacrifice. While at its release A Few Words was anonymous an 1865 publication by the Loyal Publication Society attributes the work to Caroline Kirkland Mrs. C. M. Kirkland. Kirkland a writer educator and abolitionist brought a unique perspective to the debate on women's roles in the Civil War. A Northerner by birth she spend the years leading up to the war living with her husband on a homestead in Michigan. Her experience living in the North and West and traversing the South informs her response to the accusation being made by men on both sides: that the strength of Southern women and the apathy of Northern women had contributed to seccession and the duration of the conflict. According to Kirkland's argument women on both sides nursed sick soldiers rationed and experienced the losses of husbands brothers and fathers. Yet Kirkland argues that women of the South are implicated in the evils of slavery. "They having seen slavery felt it known its horrors suffered under its attendant evils and learned.its incompatibility with God's benign law of love have deliberately lent themselves.to the perpetuation of so awful an evil." As an abolitionist and a women's rights activist Kirkland highlights the cognitive dissonance involved in promoting the strength of women who refuse to recognize that their fight for equality is tied to that of all oppressed Americans. She concludes with hope from the West where she comments that strong-minded women have rejected courtships and shunned deserters who refuse to stand their ground. A rare and interesting work documenting a Union woman's perspective on American women's responsibilities in wartime. History of American Women. Very Good . Wm. C. Bryant & Co Printers unknown books

Women's Work in Factories Kitchens and Relief Production Photo Archive c. 1900-1915

1900231291900. Women's History Women's labor photo archive documenting women at work across millinery laundry commercial kitchen precision bench and wartime relief settings preserving a concentrated visual record of how female labor was publicly pictured in the years immediately preceding and overlapping World War I. Several photographs bear Brown Bros. New York stamps placing part of the group within the sphere of press photography while the verso inscription "Russian Women Filling Bandages for the front" situates one image within the culture of wartime female service and aid production. The photographs show women's work as a visible and varied part of early twentieth-century public life where skill repetition discipline and service shaped how female labor was pictured. Photo archive of 8 photographs 7 silver gelatin and one mounted sepia photograph ranging from 6 x 4 to 9.5 x 7 inches including New York and other unidentified locations circa 1900-1915. One Brown Bros. photograph shows a seated woman trimming or assembling hats at a worktable crowded with millinery forms and materials framing decorative labor as skilled commercial production rather than private handiwork. Another image shows four women and one man gathered around tables stacked with folded cloth corresponding to the handwritten verso note "Russian Women Filling Bandages for the front." A larger photograph inscribed on the verso "women workers / compass making" shows a woman seated at a bench adjusting a circular instrument with tools and components arranged before her. Another workplace view pictures a woman handling a metal object beside machinery and a crate with partial printed text ending in ".products. Cleveland." The photograph inscribed "women in Laundry" shows several women bent over long tables in a bright workroom lined with tall windows while the mounted sepia image depicts six apron-clad women at long counters beneath a large hooded vent in a commercial kitchen. Across the group aprons work dresses caps tables tools and stacked materials recur giving the photographs a shared emphasis on feminine labor as organized visible and socially legible. The archive belongs to a period when women's wage labor was expanding in both scale and visibility and when photography increasingly circulated images of female work as part of modern urban and wartime culture. Its strength lies in the range of roles pictured: decorative trade work industrial handling laundry labor food preparation and aid work directed toward the front all of which show how women's labor was understood through service dexterity endurance and collective effort. The bandage-making image is especially important because it connects ordinary workplace culture to the wartime recasting of women's labor as patriotic and humanitarian duty. Light surface wear scattered creasing minor silvering and fading and general handling wear; mounted sepia photograph with heavier toning. Overall good condition. A compact and pointed visual record of the cultural meaning of women's work at the point where everyday labor and wartime service converged. unknown

Women in Sports Photo Archive Including One of the Earliest Female Bullfighters 1900-1950s

1900224351900. Sports and HobbiesWomen's History Archive of six original photographs depicting women in sports and physical culture ca. 1900s-1950s. A striking group of five silver gelatin photographs and one stereoview documenting early and mid-20th century women's athletics across a range of sports including bullfighting competitive swimming mass calisthenics and weight training. The archive is anchored by a powerful press photograph of Bertha Trujillo a Colombian woman bullfighter shown bloodstained and exhausted yet defiant after leaving the ring as documented by a Hamilton Wright press caption on verso dated May 7 1956. The image captures the rare spectacle of a woman operating within a hypermasculine and violently gendered tradition underlining her transgressive presence in the public arena of the corrida. Trujillo's visibility as a "girl bullfighter" not only subverts gendered codes of spectacle and aggression but also underscores the fraught place of women in national rituals of machismo. Also included is an early gelatin silver stereoview of a woman mid-dive from a boat into open water ca. 1900s her long dress captured in graceful suspension. A vintage sepia-toned postcard shows a massive synchronized physical training display by women in uniform skirts likely in a European stadium setting. A third photograph features a smiling young woman swimmer in a tight one-piece suit standing beside a trophy likely ca. 1920s-30s exuding post-competition confidence and the growing visibility of women in elite amateur sport. Two additional gelatin silver prints ca. 1930s-40s show women engaged in solitary strength and flexibility exercises: one throwing a medicine ball under clouded sky the other stretching a resistance band at the edge of a pond. Each of these images gestures toward evolving conceptions of female strength embodiment and public physicality across the 20th century. The photographs collectively trace a visual history of women's contested access to spaces of physical prowess and public acclaim. Minor edge wear and surface rubbing to a few prints. Overall very good condition. A varied archive showcasing women's athleticism in the early 20th century. unknown

Women's Entry into Medical Training in Nineteenth Century America: Eclectic Medical Society Gathering Photograph Worthington Ohio

1861174981861. Women's in Sciences Sepia photograph circa 1860-1880 identified in manuscript at the upper left "State Eclectic Medical Society at Worthington" depicting approximately twenty five women alongside male practitioners in Worthington Ohio an early center of Eclectic medical organization just north of Columbus Ohio. The image documents a rare mixed gender professional gathering at a moment when women's participation in formal medical education remained severely restricted under prevailing institutional norms. Within the dominant nineteenth century medical establishment women were largely excluded from training and professional societies; however the State Eclectic Medical Society of Ohio and the broader Eclectic movement created alternative pathways into medical study. These networks were closely tied to reformist traditions that challenged orthodox practice and opened limited but meaningful access to women prior to the broader professionalization of female physicians following mid century breakthroughs such as the graduation of Elizabeth Blackwell in 1849. Original Photograph. C. 1860-1880. Sepia. Approximately 6" x 9" Inches. Written in black ink in the upper left corner "State Eclectic Medical Society at Worthington". Photo shows about 25 women along with their male peers. The the first woman graduated medical school in the 1850s. The Eclectic Medical Society was notable for accepting female students before most women were allowed to study medicine. The photograph reflects the intellectual and institutional culture of Eclectic medicine a distinctly American medical movement that drew on botanical therapies Native American knowledge systems and the herbal tradition associated with Samuel Thomson. In contrast to orthodox allopathic medicine Eclectic practitioners emphasized plant based remedies and a more flexible therapeutic philosophy which correlated with a greater willingness to admit women into study and practice. The presence of a substantial number of women within this group suggests not only participation but active integration within the society's professional sphere offering visual evidence of gender inclusion within an otherwise exclusionary nineteenth century medical landscape. As a primary source the photograph provides direct documentation of women's early entry into organized medical communities in the United States capturing both the social composition and institutional networks that facilitated their participation. It is particularly valuable for research in women's medical history alternative medical movements and the development of professional education outside orthodox channels illustrating how reformist medical systems functioned as critical entry points for women prior to broader legal and institutional change. Some creasing present; otherwise in good condition overall. unknown

Second Annual Announcement and Catalogue of Students of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania.For the Session 1851

18512970Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions. Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.
