1900188011900. Women SPORTS Six action shots of a women's fencing dual in the early 1900s. 4" x 6" each. Stereoview on cardboard mount. N.p. Captioned "Le Duel" with each photograph numbered. Historically fencing has been primarily a men's sport and though women have been fencing for hundreds of years there was still heavy stigma against women taking up any sport. After WWI many French fencing schools opened up classes for women to grow their economy. This act opened up the doors for women to eventually be allowed to fence in the Olympics in 1924. This set of six stereoviews showcase two women fencers with a female referee and a group of female viewers. Each stereoview is numbered in the order of the duel; the first shows the two women facing each other with their swords down the second and third show the women mid duel and the last three show the victor heralding over the defeated opponent with two women side by side helping her recover. Minor wear to edges some sunning and wear to photos. Overall only good condition. unknown

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. <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.

1865Cat322Sycamore DeKalb County Illinois 1865. Two autograph letters signed “Rosa†docketed on rear likely in Everell Dutton’s hand 4 and 5 pages 8 x 5 inches. Folded at center else fine. Two letters written in the final weeks of the Civil War by Rosina Adelpha Paine Dutton of Sycamore Illinois to her husband Everell Fletcher Dutton then lieutenant colonel of the 105th Illinois Infantry engaged in the closing campaigns of the war. The couple had met through their mutual friend Helen Barns Woodmanse and began an unusually close correspondence at the outset of the war at times exchanging two or three letters a day through 1863. They married in Sycamore on December 31 1863 and spent several months together in Nashville while Dutton was detailed to the Examination Board residing at Mrs. Jernigan’s boarding house before Rosina returned to Illinois and Dutton rejoined his regiment in the field. Rosa wrote a considerable amount of letters to her husband during the war some of which were collected by the Sycamore History Museum for the exhibition General Dutton’s America. <br /> <br /> The two letters here written a week apart show Rosina’s fears and the general mood in the days prior to Lincoln’s assassination with a focus on a mysterious favor done for an unsavory character. The April 2 letter reflects Rosina’s anxiety as she awaits news from the regiment:<br /> <br /> “Five hours later. I got to feeling so badly I could not write. I will now resume my chat. I know dear one you are tired of receiving dark gloomy letters from me but you must not hope for better while you remain in the army. Love you know is always strongly anxious when the loved one is absent. I would give everything we possess in the world if it would but bring you safely home. I am in hopes we will hear something definite from the Regt. tomorrow. I am so anxious and yet I tremble to hear from the Regt… O my Husband if you should be taken from me.†<br /> <br /> She searches the newspapers repeatedly—“no list of casualties in the Tribune … sent Ida after the Times … sent Winnie & Mary … for the Evening Journalâ€â€”but finds “no relief of mind.†The strain is constant: “whenever I spoke … the tears would come†and even at church “I could not keep the tears from my eyes.†She notes that the 105th “could not have been through so severe a contest without losing very many men.â€<br /> <br /> The April 12 letter is dominated by Rosina’s pointed suspicion toward a man she calls “Gerret†who appears to have entrusted Dutton with a valuable object: <br /> <br /> “Gerret said you had in your valise for him said it was worth $500.00. If I were in your place I would get rid of it if I had to burn it. I wouldn’t carry anything five miles for that miserable scamp. No one scarcely believes his story about being captured &c. They think he made his way home as best he could & I would not be at all surprised if that were the case. He has told half a doz different stories already about his capture. He ought to have learned his story before he came home and then told it. Such conflicting ones create suspicion. Father said if he were in your place he would turn it over to Government & then bid it in.â€<br /> <br /> No individual of this name appears in the rosters or known correspondence of the 105th Illinois and the tone of the letter suggests he was not a member of Dutton’s regiment. <br /> <br /> She closes: “My darling husband do come and thereby make me the happiest woman in the world . try dear one. I don’t believe but that they will accept resignation now before long. May the good Father of us all take care of you is my constant prayer. Devotedly yours for all eternity. Rose.†<br /> <br /> Overall an interesting pair of letters from a well documented and significant correspondence. unknown
1894124133Oxford: printed for the Association by the Printers to the University 6 issues with the imprint of Horace Hart; the last 5 with that of Frederick Hall 1894-1919. The state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation An important set of reports published by the pioneering Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Women AEW containing a mass of information relating to the state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation. The earliest report dates from 1894-95 and the latest from 1918-19 each running from October of one year to the same month of the next. The sequence is incomplete with two issues missing 1900-01 and 1910-11. The reports are scarce in any sequence. WorldCat and Library Hub record runs at the London School of Economics and the British Library. The society's papers and publications are held in the Bodleian deposited there in 1975. The question of women's suffrage and its relevance within the structures of the University of Oxford had been a topic of frequent discussion prior to the formal debate on the subject at the Oxford Union on 19 February 1880. Societies like the Oxford Women's Liberal Association OWLA and the Women's Emancipation Union plus the activism of Florence Davenport Hill who had been a founder member of the Bristol Women's Suffrage society in 1868 and had since moved to Headington paved the way for groups like the AEW and later the Oxford Women's Suffrage Society. The organization's work led to the founding of four women's colleges: Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville opened in 1879 followed by St Hugh's in 1886 and St Hilda's in 1893. St Anne's also originated as part of the AEW catering for female students who lived with private families in Oxford while attending courses run by the society. The AEW counted the activist Eleanor Smith 1823-1896 among its founding members and Annie Rogers 1856-1937 Oxford's first woman don as a secretary. Perhaps the most significant sections in these reports are those titled "General Statistics" which provide accounts of lectures attended by students tutorial arrangements results of examinations donations and subscriptions. The report of 1917-18 also provides a commentary on the "extension of the University Parliamentary Franchise to women who being British subjects and not subject to any legal incapacity have attained the age of thirty and have been admitted to and passed the final examination and kept under the conditions required of women by the University the period of residence necessary for a man to obtain a degree at Oxford. They are registered on specially favourable terms as the Act admitting them is so drafted that the fee of £1 for registration cannot be required of persons who are not graduates. The Register contains at present the names of 409 women." The AEW continued its activities until November 1920 when it dissolved itself as the university by admitting women to membership had taken responsibility for them. 23 issues octavo; comprising a total of 616 pages the issues c.20-30 pp. in length.

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.
