1950180701950. African American Archive of 63 vernacular photos of African American women c. 1950s-90s. Images are in color and black and white with measurements ranging from 5" x 7" to 2" x 2" in. One color photo shows 4 generations of Black women posed on stairs outside a large concrete building with sign behind them reading "Philadelphia Civic Center.Temple University Commencement Thursday May 27 1030." Two older women in suits pose with a little girl in pale blue bellbottoms and matching top ankles crossed casually as she leans against one of the older woman who stands straight a handbag over one arm. Two images included show the same woman one a closeup of her face behind tinted seventies glasses gazing downward with fingers just visible pressed against her chest. In the second photo she stands one hand grasping a bag over her shoulder gazing into the camera with the same expression of calm strength. The archive shows African American women across generations and decades well dressed in church pews around banquet tables at home in grandmotherly housedresses posing alone or in groups raising glasses together in celebration. One image shows a woman sitting on a riding mower sunglasses and hat on smiling broadly with one hand raised. Throughout American history black women have fought for freedom and justice not only for themselves but for society at large. Positioned at the intersection of racism and sexism Black women have been largely underrepresented overworked and discredited for their social contributions. To show them represented in their joy not just their struggle is integral work in reclaiming their rightful historic role. The University of Virginia's Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library describes "Black joy" as "a phrase used by historians to highlight the positive aspects of Black history separate from its suffering. Representations of African Americans living lives at once ordinary and inspired both deeply personal and universal is an integral piece of any American history archive. unknown
16006COMSTOCK ANNA BOTSFORD. Typed letter signed one page 8" x 10 1/2" on printed letterhead of The Ledge Roberts Place Cornell Heights Ithaca N.Y. 1 October 1920. To "Dear Friend" apparently replying to questions about a proposed curriculum see below: "I was delighted to . know that your your wonderful institution of learning is still flourishing which I knew it would be with you for President. I am not able to answer your questions about pictures of insects and birds without knowing just what insects are desired. . . . As for the birds there are a great many of Louis Fuertes pictures which I think might be available. . . . I am sending you today some of the outlines which we are using in the graded schools for children to color. I shall be glad to help in any way possible but . I shall have to know bow many and what insects and birds are to be used . Cornell is President-less but is very comfy and prosperous under the rule of Albert W. Smith . " Mailing folds one just starting perhaps uniformly lightly toned; else very good to fine.'<br/><br/>Anna Botsford Comstock 1854-1930; American educator conservationist; scientific illustrator and first female professor at Cornell University. She married John Henry Comstock an assistant professor at Cornell "on 7 October 1878 and . focused her energies on her husband's career assisting him in the laboratory and classroom. She quickly learned much about entomology as she refined her skills as an engraver. The couple left Cornell for two years 1879-1881 when John Henry was appointed chief entomologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington. . . . and in June 1879 she was appointed a clerk in the Bureau of Entomology to perform clerical duties edit and produce scientific illustrations of scale insects for the 1880 Report if the Entomologist. . . . She joined the Society of American Wood Engravers and exhibited her work in Berlin San Francisco at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and at the Paris Exposition of 1900 . In A Manual for the Study of Insects a classic textbook published in 1895 she was listed as coauthor with her husband. . . . Comstock lectured at farmers' institutes and chautauguas nationwide. . . . In 1898 she advanced from lecturer to assistant professor of nature study in the Cornell University Extension Division the first woman appointed to the faculty. . . . Two years before her retirement in 1922 she was finally appointed a full professor . . . . Although a trailblazer in her work Comstock was not a political activist for women's rights; indeed she did not support universal suffrage for women. Through both her actions and example however she opened many doors for other women. During her years on the Cornell faculty Comstock became a noted writer and editor. In 1903 she published her first book The Ways of the Six-Footed a compilation of her nature-study essays for children. . . . In 1911 she produced her most ambitious work Handbook o/ Nature Study. . . . It proved highly successful remaining in print through the 1990s . '' Under the pseudonym Marian Lee she also published a novel Confessions lo a Heathen Idol based on her ''rather pithy observations of university social life." Pamela M. Henson in ANB. unknown books
46418Liverpool: 1843. Quarto sheet folded once to make 4pp. Signed in three places "Emily Taylor"; marked "Private;" and "for Mrs. Chapman." Mild cover soil; small loss at right margin from opening; slight fading to ink. Very Good. Includes brief introductory followed by an anti-slavery poem of 67 lines "For the Liberty Bell" submitted for publication in the American gift annual of that name. Numerous ink corrections to the text in the author's hand. English poet and hymnist Emily Taylor 1795-1872 was the author of more than twenty books including the book-length anti-slavery poem The Vision of Las Casas 1825. Though best-known as an author of historical works for children she was also a prolific hymnist contributing more than a dozen works to various Unitarian hymnals in the first decades of the 19th century possibly providing her connection to Follen also a well-known hymnist. The present letter is addressed to the prominent abolitionist author Eliza Lee Follen of Boston and opens: "My dear Madam Our mutual friend Harriet Martineau assures me of a kind reception from you and accordingly I transcribe for you a few lines written immediately on reading your Liberty Bell for 1843. If you are to enroll my name among those which I hold so holy & dear as your contributors in the Abolition cause please to accept them." The substantial 67-line poem which follows begins with the prologue: "To a friend who asked the author's aid and prayers for the slave;" and continues: "Pity & prayers and pleading for the Slaves! / Them thou didst ask and soon as ask'd I gave." The poem goes on to extend the by-then familiar argument that the institution of slavery makes slaves not only of its subjects but of its perpetrators as well. Taylor concludes as a postscript on the final leaf: "Would you dear Mrs. Follen forward the enclosed to Mrs. Chapman Maria Weston Chapman editor of The Liberty Bell .I am sorry but do not know Mrs. C's address." <br/><br/>The poem was in fact published without revisions as "To A Friend" in the 1844 edition of Chapman's important anti-slavery gift annual The Liberty Bell; other contributors to this edition included James Russell Lowell Lydia Maria Child Harriet Martineau Amasa Walker William Llloyd Garrison and others. The recipient of the letter Eliza Lee Cabot Follen was herself a prominent and prolific abolitionist author scion of the Cabots of Boston and part of the Boston social circle that included William Ellery Channing Henry Ware George Ticknor and other patrician intellectuals of the period. An excellent and representative letter and manuscript involving three key women figures in the abolitionist movement during a particularly heady period for the cause. unknown books

New Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 602 p., color ills. Eskiçag Anadolu toplumlarinda kadin. Anayanli bir Hitit kraliçesi: Puduhepa ve zamani. The book concerns the history of Ancient Anatolian women in its historical and social development and the life of the Hurro-Hittite queen Puduhepa. It begins with a scrutinizing of the role of woman from the prehistoric times down to the Hittite period (60.000-17700 BCE) and outlines, regarding also the feminism, the history of the woman, and details the women and queens among the Hittites. My starting point is that it is absolutely worthwhile to single out the life and unique deeds of a matriarchal woman who lived and acted fortuitously in the midst of extremely patriarchal Indo-European society in Hatti. She is the only Hittite queen, who bears quasi-"feminist" features, and her role in the Hittite-Anatolian society remains unique.
