16739Women's Fight for Employment Equality. "Lowell Offering. Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844. Pamphlet. The Lowell Offering was a monthly publication run by women working in the Lowell Textile Mill from 1840-1845. Featuring the women's poetry essays and other literary efforts the magazine gave female factory workers the opportunity to share their creative endeavors; for the women who edited and published the periodical the Lowell Offering also provided demonstrable and employable skills in publishing and journalism. This 1844 edition comes from the penultimate year of the publication. It is the earliest piece in the collection. <br/><br/>Lowell solved the problem of labor at his mills by employing young women between the ages of 15 and 35 who became known as "mill girls". Unlike European industries which had access to "large landless urban populations whose reliance on the wage system gave them few economic choices" American companies had to grapple with a small labor supply because the population was small and most preferred farming their own land and the economic independence that came with it. In order to persuade these young women to work at a mill they were paid in cash once "every week or two weeks". In line with the Boston Associates' worldview the mill girls were encouraged to educate themselves and pursue intellectual activities. They attended free lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Quincy Adams and read books they borrowed from circulating libraries. They were also encouraged to join "improvement circles" that promoted creative writing and public discussion. unknown books

No dj; illustrated boards. 276 pages : illustrations chiefly color facsimiles portraits. Catalog of an exhibition held at Lenbachhaus from November 6 2018-March 10 2019./ Includes bibliographical references. Edited by Karin Althaus Matthias Mühling Sebastian Schneider Lenbachhaus Munich.<br/><br/>"Abstract paintings were being produced even before Kandinsky. Completely independently from each other Georgiana Houghton 1814-1884 in England Hilma af Klint 1862-1944 in Sweden and Emma Kunz 1892-1963 in Switzerland developed an individual abstract pictorial language. What they had in common was a desire to make visible the laws of nature the intellect and the supernatural. Their works are being presented side by side for the first time in an exhibition. The three women artists all found their artistic language within the context of the spiritual movements of their times: Houghton in spiritism af Klint in theosophy and Kunz in naturopathy. Their artworks bear witness to a 'mediumistic' praxis: Houghton and af Klint were inspired by higher beings to paint while Kunz developed her drawings with the help of a pendulum. In addition the volume shows stills by Harry Smith and James and John Whitney who - inspired by various occult movements - made experimental films during the 1940s"--Publisher's website.<br/><br/>Contents: Introductory words / Johan af Klint -- World receivers: Georgiana Houghton Hilma af Klint Emma Kunz / Karin Althaus : Georgiana Houghton : Biography ; Works -- Hilma af Klint : Biography / with Julia Voss ; Works -- Emma Kunz : Biography -- "Emma Kunz saved my life" / Peter Burri ; Works -- Club of visionaries: the abstract films of Harry Smith and John and James Whitney / Sebastian Schneider : John Whitney and James Whitney : Biographies ; Works -- Harry Smith : Biography ; Works.
