1871229841871. Parliament House of Commons. Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life 1871 documents the development of state intervention into infant care mortality and childcare practices in industrial Britain establishing a foundational record in the history of child welfare law and public health regulation. Produced in response to widespread concern over infant deaths associated with "baby farming" the report supports research into nineteenth-century social reform gender and labor history and the emergence of legal frameworks governing child protection. Its findings informed subsequent legislation including the Infant Life Protection Act of 1872 and later reforms expanding state oversight of childcare marking a significant shift toward recognizing infant welfare as a matter of public responsibility rather than private domestic concern.<br /> <br /> Parliament House of Commons.

19331172New Haven: Connecticut Branch W. O. N. P. R. 1933. Broadside. 7" x 10 1/4. Single sheet printed on one side. Slight age toning. Fine condition. This is an original handbill from a major women's group soliciting votes to repeal Prohibition in 1933.<br /> <br /> Women's organizations--particularly the Women's Christian Temperance Union--are strongly associated with passage of the 18th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and the national ban on alcoholic beverages it brought in 1919. The major role women played in getting Prohibition repealed is not as widely recognized however.<br /> <br /> This handbill was issued by the Connecticut Branch of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform W.O.N.P.R. The W.O.N.P.R. was organized in 1929 by women who could no longer ignore the destructive if unintended consequences of Prohibition. <br /> <br /> Here voters are asked to vote for ratification of the 21st Amendment reminding them that "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Repeal!" and "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Good Government Lower Taxes and Liquor Control." <br /> <br /> The efforts of the W.O.N.P.R. and other repeal groups were successful and Prohibition was repealed with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in December of 1933.<br /> <br /> A tangible piece of Prohibition and women's history.
