196288264London: Gollancz 1962. First U.K. Edition. First Impression. Octavo 22cm. Publisher's maroon cloth titled in gilt to spine; dustjacket; 220pp. Tight clean copy; a Very Good clean copy. In the original dustwrapper price-clipped slightly rubbed on rear panel with an unfortunate closed square tear to the upper left front panel else crisp clean example Very Good or better. Simultaneously published in the U.S. by Doubleday. <br /> <br /> Pseudonymously published tell-all memoir of Dr. Nathan Rappaport a New York City physician who beginning in the Great Depression provided illegal but safe abortions to thousands of clients performing as many as 27 procedures in a single day before finally going to prison in 1950 after being ratted out by a mobster to whom he'd refused to pay blackmail. Includes case studies somewhat dramatized and a lengthy cogent pre-Roe argument for legalizing abortion. Following his parole from prison in 1966 Rappaport became an above-ground spokesman for legal abortion beginning with a lengthy Village Voice profile in 1966. Susan Brownmiller later called him "America's most loquacious abortionist" and he was the subject of an episode of Slate's "Slow Burn" podcast in 2022. For predictable reasons the book was not a huge seller for either Doubleday or Gollancz and well-preserved copies are very hard to find. Gollancz unknown

In September Geary had gone to the medical practice on Tremont Street where Dean worked as a nurse and Dean had performed an abortion for her - at the time an illegal procedure in Massachusetts.

1970207481970. Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization and anonymous author two printed items dating from circa 1968 to 1978 document grassroots organizing around reproductive rights anti sterilization advocacy and radical feminist political strategy during the late twentieth century women's liberation movement. The materials engage directly with the legal and social consequences of the Hyde Amendment which eliminated most federal funding for abortion services and disproportionately affected poor non white and younger women. Produced within activist networks in the United States and Canada these items articulate both immediate protest demands and broader revolutionary frameworks linking abortion access to critiques of state power racism and class inequality. The language of the materials emphasizes collective action including public demonstration institutional organizing and the development of independent services such as clinics and childcare.<br /> <br /> Archive of two printed items comprising one handbill and one stapled essay.<br /> 1 Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization. Handbill. Buffalo New York: Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization 1978. Single sheet 8.5 x 11 inches printed in black and orange. Features graphic imagery of a coat hanger with the phrase "Never Again!" referencing unsafe abortion practices. Text outlines the impact of the Hyde Amendment on Medicaid funded abortion access and calls for demonstration on International Women's Day March 4 1978 with the directive "Defend a woman's right to choose!"<br /> 2 Anonymous. Everything They Say We Are We Are. Vancouver British Columbia circa 1968 to 1974. Eight pages stapled 8.5 x 11 inches. Manifesto style essay outlining the position of a group of radical women activists separating from a Women's Caucus to pursue a more explicitly communist and anti imperialist feminist program. Text advocates direct action including establishing abortion clinics organizing incarcerated women and developing community childcare and concludes with the statement: "The Duty of Every Revolutionary is to Make the Revolution."<br /> <br /> These materials situate reproductive rights activism within broader currents of second wave feminism particularly the intersection of abortion access with critiques of forced sterilization economic inequality and racial discrimination. The Buffalo handbill reflects organized response to federal policy changes in the late 1970s while the Vancouver essay demonstrates the ideological diversity within feminist movements including the emergence of explicitly socialist and anti imperialist frameworks. Together they document both reform oriented and revolutionary strands of feminist organizing across North America offering insight into how activists linked reproductive autonomy to wider struggles over labor incarceration and state authority.

1994000687Québec: Les presses de l'Université de Montréal 1994 Réduction de $10.00 sur le prix d'origine $95.00. Frontispice; photographies en n.& b. hors texte en fin de volume. « Il y a un siècle un adolescent rencontrait sur la scène d'un théâtre de collège un prêtre indien venu là pour une performance de chants et de danses hurons. L'adolescent Marius Barbeau se passionna par la suite pour l'évolution de l'homme poursuivit ses études de doctorat à Oxford et de retour au pays devint le premier ethnologue canadien-français. Il eut souvent comme interlocuteur l'Abbé Prosper Vincent qu'il avait croisé au collège pour la grande recherche qui l'entraîna sur les traces des Hurons. Barbeau put rencontrer des Wendats qui avaient conservé leur langue d'origine et recueillir un nombre impressionnant de récits mythes contes et chants témoins inestimables de la culture d'un peuple si souvent mentionné dans nos livres d'histoire et pourtant jusqu'à une époque récente si mal connu. L'ouvrage paru en 1915 en anglais pour le compte du ministère des Mines ne sera jamais réédité. Publié aujourd'hui en français pour la première fois il constitue un outil de recherche précieux pour l'anthropologie et l'histoire. Il souligne également les liens anciens et profonds autres que de mépris de violence et d'exploitation tissés entre les peuples amérindiens et les descendants des premiers colons européens liens de connaissance réciproque qu'il est plus que jamais impérieux de faire renaître.».
