19391709301939. WOMEN. Soviet Women. 50 ff. illustrated with photographs throughout. 4to 250 x 190 mm. bound in publisher's embossed yellow cloth in publisher's cardboard slipcase. 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. Perhaps because it was published on the eve of the War this happens to be a particularly scarce book. A fine copy. Karasik The Soviet Photobook 1920-1940 pp. 484-485. hardcover

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. <br> <br> "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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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.
