1942196701942. United States Department of Labor Women's Bureau publication on equal pay for women during World War II documents federal efforts to address wage disparities as women entered wartime industry in large numbers. Equal Pay for Women in War Industries 1942 issued by the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor argues for wage equity for women performing skilled industrial work essential to wartime production. The publication appears alongside a wartime recruitment poster encouraging men and women to enlist in the United States Army and the Women's Army Corps. Together the two pieces record the federal government's mobilization of women for both industrial labor and military service during the national emergency created by the global conflict.<br /> <br /> United States Department of Labor Women's Bureau. Equal Pay for Women in War Industries. Washington D.C.: Government Printing Office 1942. Bulletin No. 196. Accompanied by a wartime recruitment poster encouraging enlistment in the United States Army and the Women's Army Corps with the slogan "Find adventure by enlisting in the U.S. Army and Women's Army Corps." The Women's Bureau bulletin advocates equal compensation for women working in wartime industry and emphasizes their role as wage earners and skilled workers contributing to the national defense economy. The recruitment poster visually promotes wartime military participation among both male and female volunteers.<br /> <br /> World War II dramatically expanded the participation of American women in both industrial labor and military service as millions entered factories offices and auxiliary military units to support the war effort. The Women's Bureau played a central role in advocating improved wages and working conditions for female workers who filled positions traditionally held by men serving overseas. Federal statistics from the wartime period illustrate the wage disparities the bulletin sought to address with skilled women workers earning substantially less than male workers performing comparable labor in defense industries. The establishment of the Women's Army Corps in 1943 further integrated women into the military structure replacing the earlier Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and allowing women to serve in a broader range of administrative technical and logistical roles. Pamphlet and poster. Minor handling wear consistent with wartime paper ephemera. Overall condition very good. unknown

Moscow: State Art Publishers 1939. A photographic homage to the role of women in Soviet Russia. Unlike so many of the Soviet propaganda books where the reality is far removed from that depicted in the books this work demonstrates a reality which was that in the Soviet Union women had in fact reached a point where many if not all were availed of the same opportunities given to men.

1936231271936. Women in Science Marie Curie Lise Meitner Women's History Women scientists press photo archive documenting how newspapers and syndication services translated female expertise into public image culture in the decade spanning the late interwar and immediate postwar years when scientific authority remained coded as male and women researchers were still introduced to mass audiences as exceptions. Six press photographs center on Marie Curie Lise Meitner Annie Jump Cannon and Gloria Hollister four figures linked to radioactivity nuclear physics astronomy and zoology. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 silver gelatin press photographs ranging from 3 x 5 to 8 x 10 inches various U.S. press agencies 1936-1946. Several retain typed or printed versos with agency text. A 1936 photograph shows Gloria Hollister reading a map posed for press circulation beside copy announcing that the "lady explorer starts for jungles of Guiana" and identifying her as the youngest research associate and fellow of the New York Zoological Society a caption that joins scientific credentialing to expedition publicity. Two photographs concern Marie Curie: a 1937 press reproduction of an earlier laboratory image showing Curie at work in a rudimentary interior issued with text invoking the "humble beginning" from which the work of Pierre and Marie Curie produced a major scientific field; and a King Features Syndicate portrait of Curie seated formally beneath the printed declaration that "men have no monopoly on intellectual pre-eminence and achievement in science and art." A 1936 press photograph of Annie Jump Cannon presents the astronomer whose stellar cataloging underpinned modern classification systems. Two 1946 photographs show Lise Meitner in public honor settings rather than laboratory space one receiving an honorary degree at the University of Rochester from Dean of Women Janet Howell Clark the other made after her selection as "Lady of the Year" by the Women's National Press Club.<br /> The archive spans years in which women scientists entered the public press not as members of an ordinary professional class but through narrativized forms of exception and each figure here is positioned within a different media script. Hollister is circulated as explorer scientist Curie as foundational pioneer and emblem of women's intellectual authority Cannon as a woman attached to precision astronomical labor and Meitner as a scientist absorbed into postwar institutional and commemorative culture. Press text and agency markings present on versos throughout; light wear consistent with newsroom handling. A compact primary record of how twentieth century newspapers pictured captioned and circulated women's scientific authority across research celebrity and public honor. unknown

1951226541951. ComicsWestern Americana Anomalous comic "Cody of the Pony Express #1" with wrappers for "Female Outlaws". New York: Fox Features ca. 1951. Illustrated in color throughout. Original stapled pictorial wraps. 4to 10.25" x 7". A curious and rare anomalous printing from Fox Syndicate in which the comic interior Cody of the Pony Express does not match the wrappers Women Outlaws. Lacking issue number on the cover and no publication date or copyright notice. This issue is sometimes referred to as "Women Outlaws #0". The first Cody story starts on page 2 but still comprises a full standard 36-page comic. This anomaly illustrates how mid-century comic publishers especially smaller ones like Fox sometimes recycled or rebranded content to meet publishing schedules or redirect stock.<br /> <br /> The first issue of Cody of the Pony Express a short-lived Western series from Fox Feature Syndicate dramatizes the exploits of a youthful William "Buffalo Bill" Cody during his fabled tenure as a Pony Express rider. Released at the height of the postwar boom in Western popular culture the comic positions Cody as a frontier hero navigating sabotage frontier violence and betrayal. As with other Fox titles of the period Cody blends action with sentimentality and features a mix of standalone stories and continuing characters. This first issue is especially notable for it's covers which were originally used for another Western themed Fox comic "Women Outlaws" Issue no. 7.<br /> <br /> The comic includes five story segments: "Wagons of Death" in which Cody discovers a devastated wagon train and must avenge his dying friend; "Powdersmoke Payoff" in which Cody's efforts to secure a freight contract are disrupted by hired guns; "Sleepy Time Six-Shooters" a tale highlighting the physical toll of postal duty on the prairie; "Jim Coulter's Race for Life" involving a desperate dash through Indigenous territory; and the two-page prose narrative "Family Feud." Comic exhibits wear and discoloration to wrappers with some chipping to spine. Interior with two small ink mark to margins of page 1 otherwise clean and complete with minimal wear. Overall good to very good condition. This issue with anomalous wrappers is valuable not just for its rarity but also as a material example of the fluid and sometimes rushed publishing practices of Golden Age comic producers. unknown
