1916355490720153London: Hodder & Stoughton 1916. Hard Cover. Half title frontispiece illustrated with photographs. Publisher's original pale orange-brown cloth lettered in black. Foxing to the page block edges which has crept into the text in places and quite heavy foxing to the early/late pages of the book; fraying at the head and tail of the spine; soling in places to the spine boards a little dust-soiled. Interestingly this book was not issued with either a front or rear end-paper. Overall a VG copy. No D/W. Flora Sandes born 1876 was a volunteer with the St. John Ambulance who travelled to Serbia with a small unit during the early phases of the Great War where she was seconded to the Serbian Red Cross. Compelled to divert her efforts to soldiering she eventually enrolled as a private in the Royal Serbian Army rising incredibly to the rank of Sergeant major. She occupied a unique position within the ranks as not only a female but a British officer and she was the only female to serve as an active soldier in WW1. Flora was an idol within the Serbian army and was admired as an embodiment of the English pledge to help its friend Serbia. Because of her cheerful and courageous personality she was referred to as Serbia's 'Joan of Arc'. She was wounded in hand-to-hand combat in 1916 and subsequently received Serbias highest military honour the Order of Karadordes Star. She remained in Serbia after hostilities ceased only returning to Britain during WW2. She died in Suffolk in 1956. She is still highly regarded in her adopted country where she has been commemorated on stamps and had a street named for her in Belgrade. This uncommon work is regarded as a great rarity and was published to raise funds for the Serbian war effort. A bibliographical note: the first edition of this title should be dated on the title page: MCMXVI as this copy is. Photographs/scans available upon request. Hodder & Stoughton hardcover

It represents an important study in pediatric infectious disease child abuse public health and society in turn-of-the-century urban America by a pioneering female physician.</p><p>"<strong>FLORA POLLACK </strong>1865 – 1938 attended the Woman's Medical College of Baltimore graduating in 1891 then interned at the Blockley Hospital in Philadelphia. From 1896-1897 she was a Lecturer on Embryology at the Woman's Medical College and she became Associate Professor of Embryology and Physical Diagnosis there in 1897. She studied in Berlin in 1897 and then returned to Baltimore. She became an assistant in the Department of Gynecology at Johns Hopkins Hospital specializing in women's venereal diseases in 1900 and worked there until 1913 with a leave of absence in 1912. In 1909 during her time at Johns Hopkins she published a report titled "The Acquired Venereal Infections in Children: A Report of 187 Children Treated in the Women's Venereal Department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Dispensary" offered here. In the report she detailed a trend that she had been seeing in her patients at the hospital - that of "the unusually large number of young children brought there for the treatment of acquired venereal infections." After investigating this situation she formed what she called an "infectionist theory." Apparently at the time there was a superstition widely circulated that a person infected with either gonorrhea or syphilis could rid themselves of the disease by infecting another person with it. The preference was to infect a virgin which meant that children were often the targets. Pollack hoped to counter this superstition with accurate medical information which led to her giving numerous talks on hygiene at various women's and children's institutions over the years. Pollack was one of the first doctors to attribute the extreme spread of gonorrhea and syphilis in children to assault by infected adults rather than through transmission via shared linens or restroom facilities. Along with Dr. P. S. Bourdeau-Sisco she founded the Woman's Medical Society of Maryland in 1914. Her main connection to the suffrage movement came in 1910 when she traveled to Annapolis to speak at a hearing before the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. Dr. Pollack argued for the right of women to vote based on the ability it would give them to protect their children through political action. Unfortunately this hearing did not lead to any concrete action by the Maryland Senate."-- Anna Assogba Research Librarian Harvard University Cambridge Massachusetts.</p> Johns Hopkins paperback

77467Two handwritten diaries kept in 1941-42 by Pennsylvania resident Flora E. Austin Tuttle who was widely read and kept abreast of important world events with special attention to developing war news. In 1941 Tuttle was 82 years old and living with her daughter Helen and son-in-law Jack at their home in Sharon Pennsylvania. Jack worked for Westinghouse while Helen was a housewife.<br /> <br /> Tuttle writes in her diaries nearly every day and often remarks on current events the weather family and friends and her general health which is faltering. She receives most of her information from newspapers such as the Chardon Republic Ohio as well as radio reports and some magazines. <br /> <br /> Born in Montville Ohio she lived most of her life in the small township of Huntsburg Ohio with her late husband Arthur who owned a dairy farm. She moved to Sharon spending the last six years of her life with her only daughter.<br /> <br /> During her lifetime Tuttle saw many changes in the world so the focus of her diary note on January 4 1941 about the make-up of the new Congress is of little surprise: "Of the 500 congressmen who answered 'here' at the opening session yesterday eight were women two of the eight were 65 years old. The newest comer is the widow of Chester Bolton is 55 years. She represents the 22 district of Ohio. Hattie Caraway of Arkansas first and only woman elected to the U.S. Senate."<br /> <br /> On Tuesday March 11 Tuttle wrote: "The lend lease bill passed last night. Seems to be known the world over Britain is happy this country is coming to her aid. We get Liberty magazine to read. The late Ambassador Dodd's diary says Nazism is like a snake in the grass."<br /> <br /> On April 15 she mentions listening on the radio to a telecast speech given by Boake Carters a once-popular radio commentator who fell out of popularity for his harsh criticism of the New Deal. "It was on the whole rather humorous" Tuttle wrote of the speech. "His subject 'Whither America.'"<br /> <br /> On Sunday December 7 1941 she wrote: "The most important thing that has happened is that Japan has commenced to war on some of the U.S. possessions without declaring war."<br /> <br /> Tuttle opens up her 1942 diary: "At the beginning of this year we find ourselves in war. Self defense is one the first laws of nature. Japs struck at American defenses in the Pacific on Dec. 7. Germany and Italy have since declared war on the U.S. of America."<br /> <br /> On October 26 1942 she wrote: "We all sat up to hear Wendell Wilkie. He came on the air at 10:30 and spoke over all networks about 40 minutes giving an account of his trip around the world. I was paid for listening."<br /> <br /> The diaries are bound in full brown buckram 4" x 6". The spines are leaning a touch with some general edgewear. unknown
