Wrappers detached edges chipped and creased some small losses to spine sometime neatly repaired with glue. A few faint pencil marks. The first edition of the third pamphlet in a series published with the Labour Press by socialist writer and early gay activist Edward Carpenter 1844-1929. The first three titles ‘Sex-Love and its Place in a Free Society’ ‘Woman and her Place in a Free Society’ and this one were all published for public circulation while the fourth ’Homogenic Love and its Place in a Free Society’ was privately distributed. Carpenter argues here for the advancement of women’s rights stating that current law ‘as in actual marriage. still leaves woman uncertain as to her rights over her own body or in politics where it still denies to her a voice in the framing of the laws which are to bind her’ and he declares ‘As true Freedom cannot be without Love so true Love cannot be without Freedom’ pp.34-35.

1877163421877. Early Advocate for educational and penal reforms.

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 fervently opposed of the slave trade particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She traveled 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

187216780Washington D.C.: January 1872. First edition. Modern blue paper wrappers with added modern endpapers. . 5 in. by 9in. . Some chipping to edges of leaves. Document tape at fore-edge of one leaf. A very good copy of a scarce women's suffrage item. The present report written by Republican Senator Matthew Hale Carpenter 1824 – 1881 responds to the memorial presented by numerous prominent suffragists including Susan B. Anthony Elizabeth Cady Stanton Isabella Beecher Hooker Elizabeth S. Bladen Olympia Brown and Josephine J. Griffing. The suffragists' memorial argued that the 1870 ratification of the 15th Amendment which granted voting rights to citizens of the United States regardless of "race color or previous condition of servitude" should also grant women the right to vote. Carpenter and the Senate denied that the 15th Amendment applies to women's suffrage and rejected the memorial.
