Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the experience of death and the afterlife through the personal narrative of a woman who has recently passed on. The author, a devout believer in Spiritualism, rejects the traditional Christian views of heaven and hell, and instead offers a more nuanced and rational perspective on what lies beyond the grave. The narrative unfolds as a series of encounters between the protagonist and various spiritual beings, including her deceased children and a spiritual guide who helps her navigate this new world. The book examines the nature of the spirit world, its beauty, and the challenges of transitioning from an earthly to a spiritual existence. Through vivid descriptions of her encounters and reflections on her own life, the author invites readers to consider the possibilities and complexities of life after death. The book's insights challenge traditional conceptions of death, offering a profound exploration of the soul's journey and the enduring nature of love and connection beyond the physical realm.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues against a belief fashionable at the time that women should not engage in higher education. The author scrutinises publications and testimonies pertaining to female health and concludes that the ills women were enduring were not the result of engaging in the same studies as men. The author claims that women are strong and healthy naturally and that it is actually the 'ladies' life', as it was referred to then, that is the cause of the perceived fragility of women. The author concludes that the basis of a woman's health problems is found in the neglect, mismanagement and ignorance of their needs. This fascinating book is an important addition to the ongoing discussion of women's education and health.

Etat : Very good. 7½" x 5". Publisher's red cloth, spine gilt. Pp. [9], 10-320 + 4 pages of publisher advertisements. Very good: moderate wear and scuffing to boards; leaves toned; light dampstain to top edge of most leaves, not affecting text. This is an undated edition of an important and overlooked work on sexuality written by a woman. According to the first page of text in this book, "in matters pertaining to the most important instincts of human lifethe sexual instincts, with their functionsignorance has long been regarded as innocence, and lack of interest for purity of character. The writer of this book disputes these points. She seeks to show how an enlightened understanding is alone able to cope with problems which our complicated social systems for upon us." Not a lot is known about the book's author, Eliza Bisbee Duffey. According to the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, in addition to being a vocal feminist she was an artist whose works were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the co-founder and editor of a Vineland newspaper and a medium. Her first book was a sex education manual for women published in 1873. The following year she published, "No Sex in Education." It was written in response to Edward Clarke's "Sex in Education," which argued that women's physical makeup prevented them from receiving as rigorous an education as men. Clarke went so far as to state that co-educational classes could harm women's reproductive organs. In "No Sex in Education," Duffey publicly argued that physiology had nothing to do with it: ignorance and prejudice were preventing women from equal educational opportunities. The preface of this book is a poem by Duffey which begins, "only a woman, and weak,/And ignorant too, yet wise in a womanly way,/I will not keep silent because forbidden to speak!/Why should I, pray?" According to her introduction, the book discussed the most important question of the day: "the true relation of the sexes one to the other, the duties and obligations which these relations impose, and the privileges which they confer; the existing relations which are at variance with the true ones, and how these wrong relations may be righted." Chapters included discussions of sexual physiology, polygamy, free love, prostitution, marriage and more. She also managed to write a 37 page chapter on birth control despite the 1873 Comstock Act which made it a crime to publish anything "intended for preventing conception or producing abortion." She never gave explicit direction, but instead focused on the morally sound reasons one should not have a child and commented that, "physicians know, as no other class of persons can do, the need of this knowledge [of contraception]. They know the dreadful effects of ignorance and uncontrolled lust. There is not one of them who has not upon his hands a list of patients . . . who might have been saved from crime and invalidism if they had known what it is every woman's right and duty to know." Further espousing the need for birth control in a marriage, she wrote, "they should have it, that they may not have offspring forced upon them before they are ready for them; that the little ones may be welcomed with love, and desire, and joyful expectancy." The book has been cited in scholarly works related to feminism, medical metaphors used for women's bodies, histories of birth control and both sides of the abortion argument. The book was first published in 1876 by three different publishers with no priority established and one of them was this publisher. This particular edition is not not found in OCLC, and per OCLC some version of the Holbrook publishing firm issued editions in 1885, 1886, 1889, and 1898. A courageous work by a feminist who merits deeper scholarly investigation.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, bound in dark green cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Bevel-edged boards with blindstamped borders. Some scuffing to crown and foot of spine and some speckles and rubbing to boards. Binding good and tight and complete. No date on the title page. Copyright page dated only 1874. 139 pages + 7 page sample of Duffey's other book, 'What Women should Know.' Pages slightly and evenly toned from age, but clean throughout. No stains or marks or tears. Text block tight and square. Duffey was a painter, a printer, and an advocate for women's rights and education. This volume is an argument for co-education, written in the form of a response to Edward H. Clarke's essays in which he posits that women's mental capacity is limited, and that their physical constitutions also limit their ability to learn. Duffey's rebuttals are forceful and long-overdue -- and it is remarkable that in 1874 these arguments needed to be made. This is the original, first edition, printing of this book, not a reprint.
