She died in 1901 after more than thirty years of mental debilitation." <br/><br/>The current poems touch on a variety of topics with much descriptive of western and particularly California scenery; includes an ode on the death of Abraham Lincoln.

1880LIST124Lawrence 1880. Albumen photograph on card stock 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches. Good. Working conditions were notoriously bad in Lawrence one of the industrial hubs of the textile industry in the late nineteenth century after the harnessing of the Merrimack River's water power in 1845. The city was a hub of immigration - mostly Irish - and many immigrants who were familiar with mill work flocked to the city in the 1850s. In 1860 an accident at the Pemberton Mill killed 145 workers. The Bread and Roses strike of 1912 also known as the Lawrence Textile Strike was the culmination of decades of poor working conditions. This uncommon occupational photograph of female mill workers gives scant clues as to the background of the workers or specifics of the factory. We find no record of the photographer a J.J. Greene based in Lawrence. The seven women pictured are mostly looking off-camera suggesting that the photographer had a companion. The date is unknown but the albumen cabinet card format and general feel suggest a date of 1880s-1890s. <br /> <br /> An uncommon occupational photograph of women in Lawrence's mills. Good condition overall fading to image and some light foxing verso with tears from tape removal. unknown books

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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>History of American Women. Very Good . Wm. C.

Kavanagh's concern with gender and society inflected much of her published work and this is perhaps most true of her travel writing a genre which afforded her the opportunity to couch social critique in the form of casual observation. As one modern critic has noted ".as a hybrid genre travel writing.gave women such as Kavanagh the opportunity to write on historical and political themes and to compare the position of women in British society with that of women in other countries." see Anne O'Connor "Travel Literature and Traveling Irishness: an Italian Case Study" in Traveling Irishness in the Long Nineteenth Century Marguerite Corporaal and Christina Morin eds Lon: 2017.
