No copy could be found among Institutional or library Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>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. This document dates from just 3 years after Seneca Falls. unknown books

19025398Philadelphia: C.M. Gilbert 1902. Very good. Albumen photograph 5.5 x 4 inches on a cardboard studio mount. Minor surface rubbing dust-soiling and edge wear. A wonderful original photograph of Gertrude Easton dated in March 1902 and produced by the C.M. Gilbert Studio in Philadelphia. In the present photograph Gertrude Easton 1878-1950 is dressed in a domestic servant's uniform. A later vernacular photograph of Easton is also present here and sheds clear light on Easton's work via the manuscript notation on its verso: "Gertrude Easton originally from New Haven Conn went to work for Rebecca & Grellet Collins in Wynwood Pa. at 16 yrs old. Spent later life at Dott & Mort Gibbons Neff." The older photograph here has a small printed sticker on the back belonging to Grellet Newell Collins with his address in Philadelphia. Collins was half-owner of Dill & Collins Paper Company in Philadelphia. An interesting pair of photographs capturing a young African-American domestic worker in her young years and then her later life. C.M. Gilbert unknown

Oval bust portrait in profile Cheney facing left hair parted and drawn into a low chignon; wearing a dark dress with decorative buttons and a white lace collar. Born in Boston in 1824 Cheney was closely associated with the Transcendentalist and reform circles of mid-nineteenth century New England. As a young woman she attended Margaret Fuller’s conversation classes and moved within the intellectual orbit of Ralph Waldo Emerson Theodore Parker Bronson Alcott and other Unitarian and reform leaders. A committed abolitionist she supported antislavery efforts before the Civil War and during the war worked with Freedmen’s aid organizations promoting education for formerly enslaved people and assisting Black regiments.<br /> <br /> Cheney was instrumental in advancing women’s professional education in Boston helping to found the Boston School of Design for Women and supporting the New England Hospital for Women and Children associated with the Woman’s Medical College of Boston.

1905LIST114New York: Obermuller and Son 1905. Silver gelatin print 3 ¾ x 5 ⅜ inches on larger mount. Fine. Marie Bayrooty was the only female member of the Bayrooty Brothers Oriental Troupe who performed on the Barnum and Bailey Circus sideshow. A famous 'whirling dervish' - as members of the Mevlevi Order are known colloquially - she broke a record by whirling 2990 times in 37 minutes in 1906 per the The New York Times who described her as of Syrian descent. The Times in the typically dismissive tone of the day describe her performance as such: "Mary Bayrooty the Syrian girl who last year whirled for thirty-two minutes without cessation making something like 2240 revolutions established a new record yesterday afternoon in Barnum & Bailey's Freak Hall. She made 2990 twirls in thirty-seven minutes. This is a new world record. when the last note died and the last whirl had been achieved Marie was fresh as paint. She ran across the floor to the nearest reporter and pinned a rose on the lapel of his coat remaining until her fame had been suitably sounded. Then she sat down and gave the other freaks a chance." - New York Times April 2 1906. A fine example on a very good mount. Obermuller and Son unknown books

Their most recent sojourn took them to Africa for the first time, where Murphy, eighteen-year-old Rachel and a Fulani stallion called Egbert spent three unpredictable months following ludicrously inaccurate maps leading them from village to village in Cameroon. Although they spoke none of Cameroon's 300 or so languages, the Murphys enjoyed the hospitality of the local people and numerous village chiefs--some with as many as 250 wives--as they made their way through the highlands, where Europeans were first seen fewer than ninety years ago. They camped in the uncannily depopulated Gangdaba Mountains, which soon broke their nerve; during their stay in the breathtaking Mbabo Mountains, they had the chance to observe the indigenous wildlife--warthogs, antelope, baboons, and colobus monkeys.
