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

1973List3007United States 1973. Single photograph measuring 8 x 10 inches. Manuscript captions verso reading “Florence Kennedy / Fla / Womens Lib†and “FLORYNCE KENNEDY / WOMEN’S RIGHTS†with stamps “PHOTO BY AKIRA SUWA†and “MAR4-1973â€. Near Fine. Florynce Kennedy 1916–2000 was an African American activist lecturer and lawyer. She attended Columbia University as a pre-law student graduating in 1948; she was rejected from Columbia Law School but the decision was reversed when she threatened legal action for racial and gender discrimination. Kennedy went into private practice in 1954; she represented Billie Holliday’s and Charlie Parker’s estates and defended Black Panthers H. Rap Brown and Assata Shakur and radical feminist Valerie Solanas. She founded The Feminist Party which nominated Shirley Chisholm for president sued the Catholic Church lectured on issues of race and gender and organized and participated in numerous protests.<br /> <br /> Shortly after this photograph was taken in 1973 Kennedy organized the National Black Feminist Organization. The group first met in New York City and its first attendees included Faith Ringgold Ringgold’s daughter Michele Wallace Margaret Sloan-Hunter and other prominent African American feminist activists. In the photograph Kennedy wears a pin reading “DEFEAT THE FETUS FETISHISTSâ€. Abortion rights were an important cause for Kennedy; the pin is likely related to the October 1973 protests by the Women’s National Abortion Action Coalition against the New York City Archdiocesan “Respect Life Week†where the slogan appeared on many protestors’ signs.1<br /> <br /> 1 “Respect Life Week Stresses the Unborn†The New York Times October 3 1972 22. unknown
191168600New York: Mother Earth Publishing Association 1911. Third edition Second revised edition on title page. Hardcover. Good. SIGNED. 277pp. plus 8pp. of publisher's advertisements at the rear. Duodecimo 19 cm Beige cloth over boards with a black ink stamped title on the backstrip and front board and black ink stamped single-ruled borders on the front board. Reproduced photographic frontispiece portrait of the author by T. Kajiwara. Prominent toning to the spine and a large section of the rear board. Cloth a bit frayed at the edges with the underlying boards at times peeking through. Endpapers split along the hinges. Text block cracked at the title page. Name in pencil on the title page. Very occasional brief markings mostly in the form of hatching in pencil and colored pencil. With two newspaper clippings pertaining to Emma Goldman "Red Emma" laid in. A classic of radical literature. Third edition printed on front cover. Emma Goldman was once viewed as "the most dangerous woman in America" and was a thinker so far ahead of her time that even today her views seem strikingly revolutionary. This collection of essays is a magnificent introduction to her thoughts: ranging from her views on women's suffrage and emancipation patriotism's menace to liberty the psychology of political violence the prison system "a social crime and failure" the hypocrisy of Puritanism and the strategies of dissent. These writings all reflect her fearless joyousness her radical dedication to the idea that life is meant to be a source of delight- and that avoiding the meaningless grind of everyday life must be achieved in any way possible.<br /> <br /> This copy is inscribed not to a specific person by Emma Goldman on the front free endpaper: "Emma Goldman / Portland August / 1916."<br /> <br /> Emma Goldman 1869-1940 was born in Kovno now Kaunas Lithuania. She grew up in what is now Kaliningrad Russia and in St. Petersburg. Her formal education was limited but she read widely and in St. Petersburg became involved with a radical student circle. She immigrated to the United States in 1885 first settling in Rochester New York then in New Haven Connecticut where she worked in clothing factories and came into contact with socialist and anarchist groups. Subsequently she moved to New York City where in 1893 she was jailed for inciting a riot when a group of unemployed workers reacted to a fiery speech she had delivered. In 1895 upon her release Goldman began lecturing throughout Europe and the United States and later in 1906 Goldman founded Mother Earth a periodical that she edited until its suppression in 1917. Goldman's naturalization as a U.S. citizen was revoked by a legal stratagem in 1908. Two years later she published Anarchism and Other Essays.<br /> <br /> An early edition of Goldman's famous essays signed by the much revered revolutionary activist author just under a year before she was sentenced to two years in prison for her opposition to the U.S. involvement in World War I and for agitating against mandatory military service.

022563Vienna/Wien: Austria Tabak/Die Damen presumed Publishers. Spiral Bound. Very Good. Folio. ca 1990. Spiral bound 19 ½ by 20 ½ inches. 15 glossy sheets and cardboard backing. A conceptual art piece created by Die Damen and commissioned by the Austrian tobacco company Austria Tabak. Die Damen was a feminist art collective founded in 1987 by ONA B Evelyne Egerer Birgit Jürgenssen and Ingeborg Strobl. Their work consisted mostly of performances and staged pieces that highlighted gender stereotypes and roles exaggerating their sexuality through costumes/clothing that were associated with gender stereotypes. Most of their work was based on performance or action thus little paper artwork was produced. As the Generali Foundation website states better than we can: "Their themes were seemingly banal but in reality subversive. Taking an ironic perspective they exaggerated the predominant clichés pertaining to gender roles. . Body language and gestures as well as the design and styling of outfits and accessories were the important forms of impression in these actions. DIE DAMEN usually performed wearing identical costumes. They always emphasized their feminine sexuality by using various clichés such as classic business dress or kitchen aprons thus presenting a socially critical view of the passive roles traditionally apportioned to women. . DIE DAMEN also addressed everyday domestic scenes at home and the tough reality of down-trodden housewives. With their staged parodies and caustic humor they reflected back the male gaze and also supremely demonstrated the "cool" distance typical of the 1980s." This calendar was commissioned by Austria Tabak creating a subversive look at advertising and women depicted in advertising. Rather than portray glamourous scenes of smoking and cigarettes DIE DAMEN subtly displayed evidence of smoking or cigarettes among scenes of housework and everyday activities. VERY GOOD condition. Minor bumping and curling at the corners. Austria Tabak/Die Damen, presumed Publishers unknown

16123New York 1870s. Without printer or date. 31pp. 8vo. Drophead title. In good condition lightly-aged no wraps disbound. Excessively scarce: two copies on COPAC at Lambeth Palace and the London School of Economics and only one more copy apart from surrogates on OCLC WorldCat at the Ohio History Convention. This copy like the two on COPAC lacking the title leaf which according to the WorldCat entry gives the place of publication as New York and the full title as 'No female suffrage! Attila: theology logic anatomy physiology and philology united to establish the truism that the woman is no human being'. From the style not written by a native English speaker. The author names himself as 'Attila' on the first page and the work is on the outer reaches of misogyny. Final paragraph p.31: 'However much indignation this our work may provoke we believe to have conscientiously acted according to our motto: "Every being must be instrumental in the progress of truth." And we really believe to have told the truth. The woman is no human being like man she has therefore no claims to "usurp power over man" and claim female suffrage. Let her remain the helpmate of man attend to her domestic duties and she will from her beginning to her end be man's blessing.' [New York, 1870s.] Without printer or date. paperback
