ABOUT THE BOOK:- Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law. Today, human rights have become a subject of intense discussion, not only in international level but also in national jurisdiction. Every country whether developed or developing, expresses genuine concern over promotion and realization of human rights. The world will not easily accept an in human treatment in any context, which seriously undermines even legitimate security operations. The right to life, the basic right, is being denied to millions by the continued war, occupations and the sanctions policy, implemented by the United States in Iraq. Iraqis in general and Iraqi women in particular are the victims of such violations. This book is an attempt to examine the human rights violations in Iraq. It also aims to look into the rights of women and opens new avenues in the field of human rights and the need of protection of women's rights across the world. The book will give valuable insight to researchers, academics, NGOs and human rights activists, and policy makers interested in human rights and women rights.

1972706441972. A small archive of photographic negatives with contact sheets showing a protest in New York of the headquarters of the Olivetti typewriter headquarters in 1972. The protest was a response to an unfortunate advertising campaign promoting "brainy" typewriters that were supposed to eliminate the typing errors made by incompetent secretaries. A TV commercial showed a secretary as a vacuous pin-up girl who found that she could attract men by becoming an "Olivetti girl". This infuriated a group of New York City secretaries backed by members of the National Organization of Women which picketed Olivetti's headquarters at 500 Park Avenue "Rebel Secretaries" Time 20 March 1972. The photographs shot in black and white by an unknown photographer show women with protest signs outside the headquarters. Additional photos show a man setting up the "Olivetti Weary Protestors Relief Bar" where "the liberator" was being served: "one part orange juice one part Cointreau one part champagne." The Italian typewriter company founded in 1909 is credited with manufacturing the first programmable desktop computer the Programma 101 launched at the 1964 World's Fair. unknown books

194612633N.p. likely Houston Tx 1946. 4; 4pp. Both in original printed wrappers stapled. Minor overall wear. Very good. A pair of very rare if not unrecorded pamphlets printing the events which took place at two different annual meetings of the Women's Auxiliary of the Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association a vitally important African-American health organization in Jim Crow Texas. The earlier of the two publications covers the June 6-8 1944 session held at Jarvis College in Hawkins Texas; the latter session was held at Charlton-Pollard High School in Beaumont. Both pamphlets print the schedule of events for the sessions along with a "Social Calendar" and a list of officers. The events included musical performances addresses devotionals readings of minutes and so forth. Interestingly the opening song of the 1946 session is listed as the "Negro National Anthem" also known as James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing." We are unable to find any holdings of these two pamphlets explicitly in OCLC but a couple of institutions hold collections of papers from various health professionals who were members of the organization which may include these two publications.<br /> <br /> "The Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association an organization of African Americans in the health field came into existence on August 25 1886 in Galveston. J. H. and L. M. Wilkins brothers and Galveston doctors with J. S. Cameron a San Antonio pharmacist and twelve men from nine towns met to establish the association the second organization of Black professionals in the medical field in the nation. The founders had approached the Texas Medical Association concerning participation but it refused to admit them. After sporadic activities in the 1880s and 1890s the association revived in 1901 through the efforts of six members who held a meeting in Austin. Thereafter it grew steadily to attain a membership of almost 300 by 1928. Its members-physicians dentists pharmacists and nurses-selected their first female president A. E. Hughes in 1934. Throughout its history the association emphasized discussion of medical practice and public-health education. It also reviewed hospitals and schools for nurses to provide information on standards. During the 1930s leaders successfully urged the establishment of a state-supported tuberculosis sanatorium for Blacks at Kerrville. After the TMA was opened to Blacks in 1955 the organization which had been retitled the Lone Star Medical Association remained active but declined from 250 members in 1959 to eighty in 1985 after a decision allowing dentists and pharmacists to form their own groups" - Handbook of Texas online. unknown

1892307182San Francisco: Abell & Priest 1892. Two fine images of pioneering physician Pauline Root dressed in a sari presumably one she wore in Madurai India while working as a doctor for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. <br /> <br /> Root 1859–1944 graduated from the Women's Medical College in Philadelphia and was the first female doctor to hold many posts throughout her working life. She spent seven or eight years in India establishing a Woman's Hospital in Madurai. She left India in 1891 and visited China and Japan before returning to the West Coast of the United States giving talks on her work to Christian groups along the way. She gave a lecture to the Occidental Board of Foreign Missions in San Francisco on February 3 1892 and these photographs are likely to have been taken at that time. <br /> <br /> After returning to the East Coast Root studied surgery at Cornell obtained licenses to practice in Massachusetts and New York and took a position as the resident physician at Smith College. In the 1920s she taught "social hygiene" sex-ed for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. <br /> <br /> Nineteenth century photographs of Dr. Root and other female physicians are uncommon. Drexel University has two poor condition cabinet cards of Root in Japan a few months before she arrived in San Francisco. Both images are fine with medium contrast sepia tones.

1857List3026Wilcox County Alabama 1857. Two documents totaling five double-sided pages measuring 8 x 13 inches and six double-sided pages measuring 7 ½ x 12 inches. Folded with some stains and wear; Near Fine. Two legal documents from an Alabama chancery court suit brought against Susannah Nettles by her husband James C. Nettles concerning ownership of an enslaved woman named Chloe. The documents are a set of cross interrogatories and objections and their replies which were given by William Mellard the writer of the deed that originally gave Susannah ownership of Chloe. Mellard recalls that the deed written in 1829 provided the following:<br /> <br /> “Mary Rudd declared to him while directing him how to write the Instrument that as Susannah was her youngest child and a daughter that she wished while she yet lived to secure to her that much of her Estate to wit Chloe and her future increase; and she wished the Instrument so written that it would convey to Susannah the said girl Chloe in such a manner that she would not be subject to the control of her husband should she afterwards marry . and that the negro girl should not be subject to the debts of her husband should she marryâ€.<br /> <br /> Mellard claims that after Susannah’s marriage “James C. Nettles admitted the right of his wife to the Negroes and acquiesced in her title to them and did not claim any right to them.â€<br /> <br /> At the time the deed was drawn up the legal doctrine of coverture was in effect: a married woman did not have legal rights and obligations including a right to property ownership separate from her husband. Though Susannah was single at the time Chloe would have become James Nettles’ property on his marriage to Susannah were it not for the part of Mary Rudd’s deed which Mellard insists he is remembering correctly that set aside Chloe as only Susannah’s property. Though some states had passed Married Women’s Property Acts or similar Alabama would pass any such laws until 1867.1<br /> <br /> These documents are a striking example of the enforcement of a key aspect of women’s rights—the right to own one’s own property—in which it specifically hinges on the denial of rights to another group of women—those who are owned as property. Of interest to legal historians particularly of women’s rights and enslavement.<br /> <br /> 1 B.
