Lady Montagu Women VaccinesABAA

Women's Crucial Role in the Development the first Vaccine and the Global Eradication of Smallpox

13540Archive on women's crucial role in the creation and development of vaccines especially it's accessibility to children regardless of economic class and the global eradication of smallpox. Containing 3 early and rare pieces that show how women emerged as a driving force in developing and sharing immunization techniques that continue increasing child survival rates today. Includes 2 scarce first edition books by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu with writing about her experiences bringing inoculation to the Western world and her advocacy for mothers using inoculation to save their children's lives. Accompanied by a letter to Lady Mary by Lady Margaret Cavendish Bentinck the curator of an influential scientific collection and a proponent of women's scientific research. By 1796 Lady Mary's work was advanced by Edward Jenner who developed a safer method of immunization using a vaccine derived from cowpox. Having witnessed the lifesaving benefits of immunization while traveling in Turkey Lady Mary Wortley Montagu made medical history in 1721 when she had her own children inoculated and became the first person to bring inoculation to the West. As one of the first immunization activists in the West she used her power and influence as a literary pioneer to publish about it promoting the procedure to combat Britain's smallpox epidemic. This archive's two rare books by Lady Mary contain her writing on smallpox prevention: a 1747 first edition of "Six Town Eclogues" never before sold at auction which focuses on the hardships women and girls faced when unable to access inoculation; and an 1803 five volume first edition of "The Works of the Right Honorable Lady Mary Wortley Monagu" describing "the introduction of the art of inoculation into this Kingdom" and her time "dedicated to various consultations" about the procedure. Accompanied by a letter to Lady Mary Montagu written by Lady Margaret Cavendish Bentinck who curated an influential natural science collection and encouraged women's work in science. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the thousands of other women who supported Jenner's vaccine were responsible directly and indirectly for saving tens of thousands of lives. Over the following decades women were crucial in helping Jenner provide the vaccine to children around the world and by the 1850's records suggest that in England alone women were responsible for ensuring vaccination for over 30000 children and for soliciting funding to allow Jenner's clinics to rescue even more. 150 years later the World Health Organization finally declared smallpox eradicated in 1980. An important archive revealing women's crucial role in the past present and future of vaccination. unknown books

Women's Education Movement Goddard Seminary Catalog 1877

16748Women's Education Movement. Goddard Seminary Catalog 1877. Pamphlet Catalog for the 1877 class of Goddard Seminary a coeducational school in Barre VT. Including the names of students. Goddard College began in 1863 in Barre Vermont as the Green Mountain Central Institute and in 1870 was renamed Goddard Seminary. Founded by Universalists Goddard Seminary was a four-year preparatory high school primarily for Tufts College. For many years the Seminary prospered. But the opening of many good public high schools made many of the New England academics obsolete. The trustees added a Junior College to the Seminary in 1935 and in 1938 Goddard College was chartered. It remains progressive Universalist institution. There are no copies of this very early female education catalog in any institution or libraries as per OCLC Worldcat. Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today. In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education. Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. unknown books
