16749Women's Education Movement. Moravian Seminary Catalog 1873-1874. The Moravian Seminary traces its roots to the earliest institution of female education in the United States the Bethlehem Female Seminary founded in 1742 by Countess Benigna Zinzendorf. Originally providing only primary school the Bethlehem responded to demand for higher education for women in 1785 when it reorganized as a secondary educational institution that became known as the Moravian Female Seminary. In 1913 the Seminary officially became a College and in 1954 merged with a male institution to become the coeducational Moravian College. According to OCLC only one example of the 1873-1874 catalog of Moravian Seminary is held by institutions worldwide at the Commonwealth Library Pennsylvania. <br/><br/>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. 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. 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. unknown books

It should be noted that the set was published in France in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Originally thsee volumes were published over a 3 year period "under the aprouval of the King". Later the collection included other subjects during the the French revolution. The slow process of education reform to include women began in the 1840s after it was acknowledged that if women were the first educators of children then they needed a solid education. This set dating form 1785 predate that time by half a century and as such is a valuable early attempt that goes beyond most simple women education books. As with other books of the period the volumes were provided unbound to subscribers of the series who would have been responsible for their own bindings. unknown books
183063Bergamo: Dalla Stamperia Mazzoleni 1830. 24mo. 130 x 85 mm 5 1/8 x 3 1/4 inches. 32 24 pp. Contemporary red morocco gilt-tooled borders and spine. A lovely copy. First edition. Superb copy of this seemingly unrecorded volume designed to raise funds for the maintenance of girls' schools north of Bergamo near the Swiss border. It is published by the 'Pia opera di Santa Dorotea' an Italian movement founded in 1815 to provide education for female orphans. The volume contains two separately paginated parts each in the form of a letter. The first describes in a cheerful style the work of the schools the directors and assistants all female and the flavor of the education the girls receive; all the girls learn to read and write and educated in virtues of piety and charity. Contrasting the petulance nascent malice and puerile nature of many girls with that of those in the care of the Santa Dorotea schools the author notes that 'the education of these peasant girls is a miracle.' The author describes some of the highlights of the school year including the feast of St. Tecla 'a spectacular event'. At the end of the first part there is an advertisement for the charity's publication Pia opera di Santa Dorotea Bergamo 1830. The second part consists of a dialogue between the author of the first letter and two potential donors to the charity who after more discussion about the administration of the schools agree to make a donation.

This catalog which lists the school's 24 class offerings demonstrates a focus on the humanities with courses in filmmaking history fine arts and drama.

An ambitious and ephemeral offshoot of the 1960s counterculture movement FUNY closed after only a few years in operation. Free School of New York paperback books
