16760Early American Women's Education Movement. Catalog of the Officers and Members of The Seminary For Female Teachers. Salem Massachusetts. Printed at the Register Press. April 1839. Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today-This is an important point but seems awkwardly placed. Maybe either use the phrase "into secular higher education" in first sentence or in next sentence say "In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education<br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates 10 years before Seneca Falls. unknown books

P003372Buenos Aires: Izd. Argentinskogo otdela Russkogo Obsche-voinskogo soiuza 1957. Octavo 19 à 14. Modern quarter cloth over boards with original printed wrappers preserved; 117 2 pp. Very good. This émigré commemorative volume is dedicated to General Mikhail Alekseev 1857-1918 founder of the White resistance movement. The volume celebrates Alekseev's centenary and 40 years since the Bolshevik Revolution and the formation of the White Volunteer Army in November 1917. A veteran of the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 and WWI Alekseev maintained close relations with the Czar Nicholas II serving as his Chief of Staff. In this capacity after the February Revolution Alekseev along with a number of other officials advised the Czar to abdicate advice which the Czar eventually followed. Subsequently Alekseev briefly and reluctantly operated under the Provisional Government. After the October Revolution he along with General Kornilov began to form the anti-Bolshevik Volunteer Army which he led until his death in 1918. The pamphlet was printed by the Argentine section of the Russian All-Military Union an émigré military organization founded in 1924 by General Wrangel in Serbia with the aim of connecting all Russian émigré military personal in various countries. The organization though anti-communist tried to hold a neutral political position uniting a variety of political opinions of more than one hundred thousand of its members. As such this publication points out General Alekseev's "modest origins" highlighting the class diversity of the White movement.
