Letter is 1 page Jan 10 1877 signed at closing "Mary Carpenter" regarding the election of a woman to the School Board.<br/><br/>The letter states in part "Thanks for sending us the paper containing the very gratifying announcement of the election of Mrs. Mansfield.It is a grand triumph!" A note at bottom signed M.P. Mansfield explains the meaning of Carpenter's letter "This letter was written on the receipt of a paper containing the account of the election of my wife to the School Board." Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform. She opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor and introduced reformatories which took a caring and constructive stance for young offenders. Mary Carpenter also campaigned for better education for women and reforms to prisons. Following a meeting with Frederick Douglass Mary Carpenter became fervenlyt opposed of the slave trade particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She travelled extensively in America Europe and India where she also sought reforms similar to those she pursued in Britain. She was a pioneer in the field of equality for women and stood almost alone as a female orator who was widely listened to and respected. unknown books

1950WRCLIT53771Np 1950. 345314513791028 leaves plus numerous unnumbered inserted leaves. Quarto. Original typescript with frequent revisions and alterations throughout in pencil and occasionally in ink with a few inserts in carbon typescript. Punched and enclosed in leatherette binder. Generally very good to fine. An original working typescript for this evidently unproduced musical adaptation with text and lyrics by Rosen to be accompanied by music by Carleton Carpenter. The undertaking was quite ambitious and this draft stems from a point of ongoing substantive revision. Evidently plans proceeded to a further stage as tipped in front is a clipping from an unidentified trade paper indicating that Cyril Ritchard had been signed for the lead and negotiations were ongoing for a Broadway run produced by Kermit Bloomgarden. However IBDB records no such production though Rosen's and Carpenter's other Broadway accomplishments are represented. Rosen is there credited with staging the 1938-9 WPA Production of Shaw's ANDROCLES AND THE LION at the Lafayette Theatre in New York which ran 104 performances and featured an all African American cast. hardcover books
