16759Women's Education Movement. Pamphlet/ Volume 14 of 17: Acts for the State of Massachusetts January 12th Session 1804 Incorporation of Bradford Academy Containing the original incorporation of Bradford Academy. Bradford opened as the first coeducational institution in Massachusetts but due to overwhelming interest from parents of girls with no other option for education Bradford soon transitioned to become the first all-female academy in Massachusetts and among the first in the United States in 1836. Only three examples of these early Incorporation Acts could not be found among Institutional Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <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. But this document predates Seneca Falls by 40 years and Bradford was among the very first institutions to educate women in the United States. unknown books

196921191New York: Grove Press. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1969. First American Edition. Hardcover First Printing. NOISBN . nice clean book with just the teensiest bumping to the bottom corners; jacket also very nice but with a few pen-point indentations no ink marks however on the front panel as though someone once used it momentarily as a scribble pad. First-person narrative novel about a "19-year-old girl troubled by her frigidity with boys" who discovers her Lesbian libido via a serious fight with a girlfriend "complete with scratching hair-pulling and fists." Purportedly "widely published in Europe" without incident it ran into trouble in the author's native Norway with their Supreme Court banning the book and fining Bjørneboe for "sexual nihilism." The book seems to have not been published in the U.S. until November 1969 just a month or so before the release of a Danish-made film adaptation; it was the latter event that led Grove to issue a new dust jacket featuring a still from the film which appears on the second and all subsequent printings. However there may have been another reason the original jacket was "retired." Take another look at that naked beach babe: it's none other than Jane Fonda and although the photo itself is properly credited to the photographer she might as well have been an anonymous model. But the weird thing is that Jane was hardly an unknown at the time: on-screen since 1961 she'd reached the peak of the first sex-kitten stage of her career by starring in her then-husband Roger Vadim's ultra-campy 1968 film BARBARELLA. Nor was this particular nude-ish photo session exactly obscure: a very similar shot had been given major exposure sorry in a March 1968 issue of Life Magazine in a cover story on BARBARELLA and yet another was mass-marketed as a male-dorm-room-suitable poster -- which poster in turn would be re-purposed a few years later as a vehicle for expressing anti-"Hanoi Jane" vitriol. The point being: did Grove's decision to use this already-close-to-iconic celebrity image to package their titillating Scandinavian import represent prescient marketing boldness or a simple unlicensed "oops" The episode if it can be called that seems to have gone unremarked-upon in any of the literature on Ms. Fonda so any claims that she might have effected its "withdrawal" or "suppression" should be taken with a grain of sand pending actual you know evidence. Do note however that second and subsequent printings with the film-still jacket are considerably more common than the "naked Jane" first. . Grove Press hardcover books

200121573000001Princeton University Press 2001. Hardbound. As New. Black cloth/boards. 252 pp. Over 150 color and bw plates. Winslow Homer's luminous watercolor seascapes and highly spirited portraits of children and outdoorsmen are some of the most recognizable and cherished works in the history of American art. This catalogue published in conjunction with a major traveling exhibition examines his pictures from the 1870s the least-studied period of this perennially popular American artist. Debunking the common myth that Homer worked in isolation Margaret Conrads reveals him as a controversial artist who was an integral part of the dizzying New York art scene of the 1870s. Indeed Homer was the American artist most frequently discussed by the press at this time--often with simultaneous commendation and vilification. By viewing Homer's works of the 1870s through the lens of contemporaneous criticism the author explains how and why the painter embodied the critics' high hopes for an art that expressed national values. She finds reflected in his vivid images an ongoing struggle to meet these expectations even as he challenged and helped to redefine the artistic conventions governing American aesthetics. With almost one hundred full-color plates and nearly sixty black-and-white illustrations this handsome volume is a remarkable record of an important period not only in Winslow Homer's career but also in the fascinating art world of late-nineteenth-century America.
