Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value 1950 documents the formal development of international labor standards addressing gender-based wage inequality in the immediate postwar period. Issued in advance of the adoption of the Equal Remuneration Convention the report supports research into women's labor history international law and the institutional mechanisms through which gender equity policies were articulated and debated. The publication situates wage discrimination as a matter of economic justice and human rights presenting coordinated efforts by member states and labor delegates to establish enforceable standards for equal pay across national economies.<br /> International Labour Conference. Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value Report VII 1; Thirty-fourth Session 1951. Geneva: International Labour Office 1950. First edition. Octavo.

1894221311894. Women's EmploymentLaborFeminism Collet Clara Elizabeth. Report by Miss Collet on the Statistics of Employment of Women and Girls. London: Her Majesty's Stationery Office 1894. First edition. 153 pages. Rebound with blue cardstock wrappers with blue cloth spine. A foundational document in the history of women's labor rights in the United Kingdom this government-commissioned report by feminist economist and civil servant Clara Collet presents a rigorously detailed statistical study of female employment across various industries and regions in late 19th-century Britain. The report was produced under the auspices of the Board of Trade's Labour Department and presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of Queen Victoria. Collet's work documents an early official recognition of gender disparities in wages labor conditions and occupational distribution.<br /> <br /> Clara Collet was a pioneering advocate for working-class women. In this report she compiles extensive census and wage data comparing the years 1881 and 1891 with particular focus on textile and manufacturing sectors including cotton wool and worsted mills. The report also explores regional patterns in employment rates of marriage and widowhood and the social consequences of low female wages. Appendices provide granular data segmented by occupation and geography highlighting for instance employment patterns among married women and child laborers. Of note is Collet's contextual analysis of women's roles in both domestic and industrial economies and her subtle but pointed criticism of systemic inequalities in pay and opportunity. Her work prefigures later feminist labor studies by over half a century and has been cited by scholars as foundational to the evolution of state labor policy in Britain. Pages toned with scattered foxing binding stable and professionally renewed; textblock complete. Overall good to very good condition. A landmark primary source in the history of women's labor advocacy and feminist economics and a rare survival in its first edition. unknown
18017Three Addresses to Girls at School" J.M Wilson. Percival and Co: London 1890. 7" x 5" inches. 74 pages. Soft cover pamphlet. A series of speeches delivered by the vice president of the Clifton High School for Girls in Covent Garden 1890. The speeches were given on "Education" "High School Education for Girls" and "Religion" in 1887 1889 and 1890 respectively. In them Wilson the school's vice president and late head master addresses the female students on the value of their education"You are living in a great age when changes of many kinds are in progress in our political and social and religious ideas. There never was a greater need of trained intelligence clear heads and earnest hearts. And the part that women play is not a subordinate one." Whereas in 1840 60% of British women were illiterate that number dropped dramatically to 40% by 1860 and the momentum for female education picked up considerably through the end of the nineteenth century into the twentieth. Wilson's speeches delivered to high school girls give fascinating insight into both the vision and anxiety bound up in educational reform during the time. "We earnestly desire that women should be highly educated" he writes. "And yet is there not a type of educated woman which we do not wholly admire I am not going to caricature a bluestocking but to point out one or two real dangers. Education is good; but perfect sanity is better still. Sanity is the most excellent of all women's excellences.It is a small matter that you should protest against some small maladjustment or folly; but it is a great matter that you should be perfectly sane and well-balanced. Now education helps sanity." The addresses both promote women's education and caution against radically upending existing social structures. Wilson advises the girls throughout to be gentle humble and sane and celebrates the role educated women play in supporting men in positions of power. Front soft cover detached. Textblock is partially detached. Text block clean and bright. Overall good condition. unknown
1890220271890. Women's Education Three lectures on women's education in Victorian England. Wilson J. M. Three Addresses to Girls at School. London: Percival & Co. 1890. First edition. Original printed brown paper wrappers stitched binding no dust jacket as issued. Delivered between 1887 and 1890 these addresses by Reverend J. M. Wilson-former Head Master of Clifton College and Vicar of Rochdale-offer a pointed reflection on the role of education and religion in shaping the intellectual lives of young women in late Victorian Britain. Each speech was delivered at a girls' high school: the first at Clifton High School 1887 the second at Bath and Clifton 1889 and the third at St. Leonard's School St. Andrews 1890. While framed within the conservative moral expectations of the period Wilson's lectures nonetheless emphasize the legitimacy and value of female academic achievement and make a case for structured standardized education for girls-a relatively progressive position for its time. Notably Wilson defends the Higher Certificate Examination as a measure of "absolute merit" asserting that these certificates serve as proof of both academic competence and institutional rigor.<br /> <br /> In one significant passage Wilson explains how girls at Clifton High School were permitted to pass examinations in stages-two subjects one year and two the next-unlike boys who were expected to complete all four at once. This practical concession reflects both the social constraints placed on girls and an evolving acknowledgment of their academic seriousness. His emphasis on certificates as both a pedagogical guide for teachers and a tool for public accountability is central to his educational philosophy: "They help to make your work definite and sound: and that if it is slipshod you shall at any rate know that it is slipshod." Though clearly reflective of the gendered assumptions of the time the text offers valuable insight into the advocacy for women's structured schooling during the late 19th century.<br /> <br /> Front cover moderately soiled with edge wear and a small numeric marking to the lower left corner. Front wrapper and end pages detached. Internal pages clean and unmarked aside from a faint institutional stamp on the title page. Overall fair condition. A scarce record of late Victorian attitudes toward women's education notable for its firsthand account of the evolving role of girls' high schools in Britain. unknown

193088437Boston: Christopher Publishing House 1930. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19.5cm. Publishers blue cloth; gilt spine and cover titles; dustjacket; 208pp. Tight clean and unmarked with some mild darkening to endpapers; Near Fine. In the original printed dustwrapper priced $2.00 on spine panel; gently rubbed and worn with shallow losses at head at foot of spine panel and a small 1/4" chip to rear panel; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Future utopia set in the year 1950 in which the women of the world go on strike against matrimony using abstinence as a lever to take control of world government and eliminate war. The theme of "lysistratic nonaction" i.e. the "sex strike" is a recurring one in Progressive Era utopias appearing for example in George Noyes Miller's The Strike of A Sex 1891; Begum Rokeya's Sultana's Dream 1908 and less directly in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland 1915. In the current iteration written by a Missouri Methodist minister and issued by a religious publishing house the sexual implications of "non-matrimony" are left more or less to the reader's imagination. What the author does not shy away from is the validity and importance of women's recently-won political influence: "Feeling a real humiliation in the messed-up condition of world affairs brought about by my own sex I share the faith expressed by Mrs. J. Borden Harriman.that 'women may yet find some way to lead the race away from self-destruction'.and with Carrie Chapman Catt.that it is 'the task of women to demilitarize the minds of the world'" from the author's Preface. A somewhat uncommon and generally unrecognized feminist utopia rarely seen in dustwrapper; this a very clean copy. HANNA 407. SARGENT p.96. LEWIS Utopian Literature p.24.
