Spine toned label rubbed but legible one small stain on front board. Internally clean and sound. No dust jacket. Elizabeth Cabot Putnam was the daughter of Harvard neurologist James Jackson Putnam. She graduated from Radcliffe in 1910 and in 1917 went to Paris where she worked as a secretary for the American Expeditionary Force's Air Service and as a Red Cross volunteer. Her letters home to her family discuss both her work and her general experiences as a young woman in a foreign country at war. Occasionally she comes across as a breezy society girl rather than someone viewing the horrors of war but at other times she is clearly deeply affected. Finally getting to rest after working at a hospital until three AM she looks out a window at the beautiful sky and writes "It was more than one could bear with equanimity -- so heavenly outside and so horrible inside -- all the blood and the hacked-up flesh and the thought of how each one is going to suffer when he gets out of ether." She cared for French soldiers ar the American Ambulance Hospital in Paris and for wounded Marines at a hospital in Neuilly. In mid-1918 she worked as a Red Cross searcher helping to track down missing servicemen. The Riverside Press hardcover

1827152741827. Philis Mr. Report of the Commission Charged to Examine Memoirs Relative to the Education of Women. Third Subject: Morality. 1827. This 1827 manuscript records one of the earliest sustained formal debates advocating systematic education for women across social classes. Structured as a commission evaluation of submitted memoirs the text advances the argument that education should be universally accessible to women "from the daughter of the Prince to that of the most humble of the subjects" asserting that the "elements of Language and Calculations" are "necessary and indispensable to women in all stations." At a time when formal education for girls was limited and higher education for women virtually nonexistent the manuscript situates female instruction not as ornamental refinement but as moral and civic necessity.<br /> <br /> Philis Mr. Report of the Commission Charged to Examine Memoirs Relative to the Education of Women. Third Subject: Morality. 1827. Folio manuscript in paper boards. 68 pages of handwritten script in black ink. The manuscript is organized around three submitted theses: "The Education Best Adapted to Form A Good Mother of A Family Is That Received at Home"; "It is Well Known That The Bad Education Of Women Does More Harm Than That of Men."; and "To Instruct the Children One Must Enlighten the Mothers." While the framing reflects prevailing assumptions that motherhood constituted women's primary social role the author strategically reverses that premise arguing that education is precisely what "nature formed women to be" capable of fulfilling their duties. Written one year after the opening of the first public high schools for girls in New York and Boston and more than a decade before women would begin earning college degrees the manuscript provides early evidence of reformist thought that linked women's education to broader civic improvement. Boards show wear with light soiling and scattered stains; manuscript evenly toned with occasional minor soiling; text clear and complete. Overall condition very good to good. unknown

Unbound. p. 589-594. 9 x 6.5 inches. Article about a school for girls that focuses on physical education Bergman Österberg Physical Training College in Dartford UK. Martina Bergman-Österberg pioneered teaching physical education as a full subject within the English school curriculum with Swedish-style gymnastics at its core. Bergman-Österberg was an advocate of women's emancipation directly encouraging women to be active in both sport and education. Dartford was one of the first physical education instructor's college in England Osterberg had founded one earlier. "Madam Osterberg's is intended to be a training-school for the body . Its raison d'etre to produce as nearly as may be women who shall be physically perfect." She only admitted students with above-average intelligence and education an aptitude for natural science a sound constitution and character a pleasing appearance and considerable zeal and devotion. After completing the course graduates of the college were virtually guaranteed employment in girls schools throughout the country. <br /> <br /> Six photo-illustrated images of the school grounds and gymnasium the headmistress girls cycling and playing basketball. Basketball was invented in America in 1891 and in 1893 Bergman-Österberg returned from a visit to the United States and informally introduced one version of basketball to her students.

This really splendid game about which a good deal will probably be heard in England in the near future is an importation from America." Light brown stains along inside edge of pages.

1920173071920. Women and Young Persons Employment in Lead Processes. London: House of Commons 1920. First Edition. 12.75" x 8" inches. This bill bars the employment of women and children from working in certain processes of lead manufacturing. It was presented by Sir John Baird and its provisions were outlined by the International Labour Organization of the recently established League of Nations. The effect of lead on fertility and the developing bodies of young people has been recognized as toxic since classical antiquity but it took until 1920 for it to be codified in the UK. This is undoubtedly because lead was a hugely popular ingredient in many industrial processes because of its malleability and use in constructing various metal alloys. Very good condition. unknown
1786219 century vintage albumen photograph featuring four rows of women holding free weights in a gymnasium. Image itself Measuring 8.25" x 5" inches mounted on photographer's board of aprox 10" x 8" inches. Albumen print. Circa 1890's. The women stand in tightly single file rows holding dumbbell weights in both hands at shoulder height ready to raise their arms above their heads.

The women wear long skirts in solid colors with low-heeled boots just visible beneath and shirtwaist blouses some adorned in small bows at the neck or leather bags at the hip. The classroom is long with wooden floors and wooden planked walls and ceiling with pipes and ducts exposed an apparent recreational space or Gymnasium. The portrait documents women's fitness as a novel endeavor. Photographer's board has wearing along the edges and one small ink blot. Photograph is sepia toned and well defined though somewhat overexposed but subjects are clearly visible. Such an early image of weight lifting for women is scarce; in very good condition. unknown
