1910231321910. Women in STEM Women's scientific and technical employment photo archive documenting female laboratory labor from the early twentieth century through the 1940s historically significant for showing how women entered academic industrial and commercial research settings in roles that ranged from student and aide to biologist technician and physician at a period when scientific work remained overwhelmingly male and women's access to professional authority was still sharply constrained. The group includes five press photographs and three non press photographs with women pictured not as incidental clerical staff but as active operators of instruments handlers of test animals readers of charts and participants in experimental procedure establishing direct visual evidence of women's expanding place within the infrastructure of American science industrial testing and laboratory employment.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 3.5 x 5.5 to 8 x 10 inches various U.S. locations circa 1910 to 1940s. The archive spans classroom laboratory and industrial interiors. One 1910 photograph shows two men and one woman standing in a laboratory identified as "three scientists or science students" an early image of mixed gender scientific training. A 1937 press photo titled "aviation biologist works with hatchlings" shows Dr. Manisera in a lab coat hand feeding two week old canaries with a third bird perched on her head turning animal handling and experimental care into a public image of female scientific expertise. Another press photo shows Sally Wulff identified on the verso as an engineering aide with a science degree from the University of Iowa seated at a control bench calibrating experimental instruments at Wright Field. A 1938 non press image shows Dr. Marie D'Amour and Fred D'Amour studying a chart before a blackboard covered with formulas and technical notations linking the photograph to mammalian physiology research. A Hoboken New Jersey press photo depicts a female technician in the chemical division of the United States Testing Company operating a Fisher titrimeter "for performing volumetric analyses by electronic means" while a 1939 press photo from Newton Massachusetts shows a laboratory worker testing newly developed Permatron tubes used in high frequency welding and power transmission. Another press image captioned "A 'noise machine' used in experiments in the Colgate laboratory" shows a woman and man positioned on either side of the apparatus and a separate 1940s laboratory group photograph places a single woman among five men before a long demonstration bench and blackboard diagrams underscoring both women's presence and their numerical isolation within technical settings. Several versos retain typed caption slips editorial markings and reference stamps consistent with press photo circulation.<br /> <br /> Across the first half of the twentieth century women entered scientific work through normal schools universities wartime research demand industrial laboratories and auxiliary technical appointments yet their advancement was often channeled into subordinate or specialized designations even when their work required substantial training. This archive makes that structure visible through named and captioned examples of women conducting measurement instrument calibration physiological research electronics testing and experimental animal work across corporate academic and applied research environments. Minor residue on versos from former press labels or caption attachments; otherwise clean and well preserved. Overall very good condition. As a record of women's early technical labor the archive supplies concrete visual evidence of the pathways limits and visibility of women's participation in American scientific work before the full opening of postwar professional opportunity. unknown
1920219031920. Women in Sports Archive of three photographs documenting women's equestrian sports 1920s-40s. Three original silver gelatin press photos capturing women actively engaged in and preparing for matches-scenes that challenge the male-dominated image of early 20th-century polo. Taken in the United States and Canada these images reflect the increasing public visibility and athletic accomplishments of women showcasing their skill camaraderie and the gradual erosion of gender barriers in elite sporting environments.<br /> <br /> The earliest photograph dated September 26 1928 depicts a historic international match between Canada and the United States-the first known women's international polo game in the U.S. according to the verso text. The players from Alberta are seen poised beside their horses as they await the match's commencement in Rye New York. The image bears the credit "International Newsreel" with annotations indicating it was distributed as a news photo under the slug "Two Teams." The second photograph is captioned "Women Now Play Polo" and is dated March 20 1940. It features prominent players Joan Baker daughter of famed Australian sportsman "Snowy" Baker Mrs. "Willie" Tevis and Yvette Barette at the Riviera Country Club in Santa Monica California. The image highlights how women's polo had begun gaining serious popularity and skill by this time especially in celebrity-adjacent venues like the Riviera. The third undated photograph by Boston-area studio photographer Paul J. Weber embossed stamp: "Paul J. Weber / Dorchester Centre Mass." shows a lineup of women riders mounted and dressed in coordinated attire likely posed before or after a match. Together the photographs capture a pivotal often overlooked chapter in the history of women's sports where gender and athletic prowess intersected in a highly public arena. Verso stamps and original caption slips intact on two press photos with clear studio embossing on the third. Overall very good condition. A compelling archive chronicling the rise of women in polo offering vital documentation of the sport's early gender integration and the public image of athletic women in the early 20th century. unknown
1861174981861. Women's in Sciences Sepia photograph circa 1860-1880 identified in manuscript at the upper left "State Eclectic Medical Society at Worthington" depicting approximately twenty five women alongside male practitioners in Worthington Ohio an early center of Eclectic medical organization just north of Columbus Ohio. The image documents a rare mixed gender professional gathering at a moment when women's participation in formal medical education remained severely restricted under prevailing institutional norms. Within the dominant nineteenth century medical establishment women were largely excluded from training and professional societies; however the State Eclectic Medical Society of Ohio and the broader Eclectic movement created alternative pathways into medical study. These networks were closely tied to reformist traditions that challenged orthodox practice and opened limited but meaningful access to women prior to the broader professionalization of female physicians following mid century breakthroughs such as the graduation of Elizabeth Blackwell in 1849.<br /> <br /> Original Photograph. C. 1860-1880. Sepia. Approximately 6" x 9" Inches. Written in black ink in the upper left corner "State Eclectic Medical Society at Worthington". Photo shows about 25 women along with their male peers. The the first woman graduated medical school in the 1850s. The Eclectic Medical Society was notable for accepting female students before most women were allowed to study medicine.<br /> <br /> The photograph reflects the intellectual and institutional culture of Eclectic medicine a distinctly American medical movement that drew on botanical therapies Native American knowledge systems and the herbal tradition associated with Samuel Thomson. In contrast to orthodox allopathic medicine Eclectic practitioners emphasized plant based remedies and a more flexible therapeutic philosophy which correlated with a greater willingness to admit women into study and practice. The presence of a substantial number of women within this group suggests not only participation but active integration within the society's professional sphere offering visual evidence of gender inclusion within an otherwise exclusionary nineteenth century medical landscape. As a primary source the photograph provides direct documentation of women's early entry into organized medical communities in the United States capturing both the social composition and institutional networks that facilitated their participation. It is particularly valuable for research in women's medical history alternative medical movements and the development of professional education outside orthodox channels illustrating how reformist medical systems functioned as critical entry points for women prior to broader legal and institutional change. Some creasing present; otherwise in good condition overall. unknown

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. <br/> <br/>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

1940206121940. Unidentified photographers female boxing photograph archive late 1940s-1950s documents the emergence of organized women's boxing in the United States supporting research into gender barriers in professional sport postwar athletic culture and the early institutional recognition of female fighters. The photographs capture three central figures in mid-century women's boxing-Barbara Buttrick Phyllis Kugler and Jo-Ann Hagen-whose careers intersected in exhibition bouts and championship contests during a period when women's participation in boxing required legal and promotional negotiation. The material provides visual evidence of competitive matches and ringside moments at a time when women's boxing was only beginning to secure formal licensing in certain jurisdictions.<br /> Nine black-and-white silver gelatin photographs each approximately 5 x 7 inches depicting in-ring action and between-round scenes. Three images show a bout between Hagen and Kugler with both fighters captured mid-exchange in close quarters gloves raised and bodies angled forward in offensive and defensive stances. Five photographs document a match between Kugler and Buttrick likely connected to their 1957 championship contest in San Antonio Texas where the fighters successfully petitioned for a state boxing license for women; scenes include active exchanges as well as ring positioning under overhead lighting. One image shows Buttrick seated in her corner resting between rounds attended by seconds just outside the frame. Across the group the fighters wear standard boxing attire of the period and the ring environment-ropes canvas and audience proximity-appears consistent with mid-century professional venues.<br /> Produced during a period when women's boxing was contested both culturally and legally the archive documents early efforts to legitimize female participation in a sport historically restricted to men. Buttrick's victory in Texas marked a milestone in the recognition of women's championship boxing while Kugler's extensive bout record and Hagen's career-long rivalry with both fighters illustrate the development of a competitive circuit. All three figures were later inducted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame underscoring their role in establishing the sport's foundations. Light surface wear consistent with handling with strong contrast and clear detail throughout. Overall in very good condition. unknown

In this book, women's autonomy is measured in eight different dimensions. The level of women's autonomy on each of these eight dimensions as well as the total autonomy and its correlates are assessed and discussed in detail in the first stage. In the second stage, the impact of women's autonomy on their reproductive behaviour as well as on their knowledge and adoption of family planning methods is assessed. This book will serve as an useful guide to measure the level of women's autonomy in different dimensions. The setting of objectives, methodology followed, data analysis and presentation of results are of immense value. About The Author:- Dr. S. Gunasekaran is basically a statistician (M.Sc.
