- Description
- 18th June, 1910 We marched from the Embankment to the Albert Hall. It was a glorious day. The sun shone warmly. Everyone was in good spirits. There were aristocrats, artists, even my mother looked happy. She who has been so opposed to my work with the WSPU. More than 10,000 people had rallied and there were dozens of bands playing. It was quite incredible. We waved banners, carried flowers, sang along with the tunes. Hundreds who have been imprisoned for our Cause marched together in a powerful band. It was all very rousing of spirit. I felt proud to be a woman, proud to be alive, proud to be a part of a movement that is fighting to make a difference.

- Description
- Sabine Spielrein was a Russian Jewish doctor and psychoanalyst. She is perhaps best known as a patient who had a love affair with her doctor, Carl Gustav Jung. She was represented in the psychoanalytic literature by some footnotes in the work of Freud. This collection of papers on Spielrein's life and work has been drawn together as a tribute. It shows her professional development as a psychoanalyst and gives more information on the therapeutic relationship with Jung. With correspondence, extracts from Spielreins's personal diary, hospital records of her treatment (Zürich, 1904-1905) and her paper on the development of language 'The origin of the child's words Papa and Mama'

- Description
- In 1915, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, more than twelve hundred women representing twelve nations journeyed to The Netherlands to plead for peace at The Hague. At this first International Congress of Women they called for 'continuous mediation' until peace was restored, and two delegations met with representatives of the warring governments. Although they did not stop the war, their proposals are still used as guidelines for most diplomatic negotiations between hostile nations. Three highly talented, progressive women led the American delegation. Jane Addams (1860-1935), the cofounder of Hull House in Chicago, won the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize for her career of public service and advocacy for peace. Emily G. Balch (1867-1961), a distinguished sociologist who taught at Wellesley College and was the longtime International Secretary of the later-founded Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, also was honored in 1946 with the Nobel Peace Prize. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), a medical investigator and social activist, was the first woman to join the faculty of Harvard University. WOMEN AT THE HAGUE is the firsthand report by these three remarkable women of their mission for peace.

- Description
- Autobiography of Harriet Tubman (c1820-1913). Born in slavery, she drew upon spiritual resources and covert antislavery networks when she escaped slavery and later succesfully guided dozens of fugitives to freedom. Celebrated by her primarily white antislavery associates in a variety of private and public documents from 1850s through the 1870s, she was rediscovered as a race heroine by woman suffragists and the African American women's movement in the early twentieth century. Her story was used as a key symbolic resource in education, institutional fundraising, and debates about the meaning of 'race' throughout the twentieth century. Humez discusses Tubman's work as a public performer of her own life history. Drawing upon historiographical and literary discussion of the complex hybrid authorship of slave narrative literature, Humez analyses the interactive dynamic between Tubman and her interviewers. Selections of Tubman's stories and key period documents illustrate how she appeared to her contemporaries
