Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Three 11" x 11" hanging wall calendars. Generally very good plus: covers minimally scuffed and spotted, each with price sticker affixed to rear; internally near fine and fresh. This is a set of wall calendars featuring inspirational feminist messages, histories of important women and compelling black and white images taken by female photographers. The Crossing Press (CP) was founded by Elaine Goldman Gill and her husband John around 1970; Goldman Gill had been fired from her faculty position at Ithaca College, and per an interview "didn't have the courage to sue them." Students had protested and John, a tenured professor there, quit. The couple started their small press, focused on poetry, far left politics and feminist theory, and it took off. Nancy Bereano, who edited and wrote the introductory essay for two of these calendars, was editor of CP's Feminist Series, which also published titles like Movement in Black by Pat Parker, Sister Outsider, Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde, Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology and books of poetry by Judy Grahn. Bereano later founded Firebrand Books, an influential lesbian feminist press. These three calendars were entitled "Women's Work" (1983), "Heroines" (1984) and "The Strength of Women" (1985), and all attacked racism as well as sexism. Each month of "Heroines" featured a portrait and write-up of feminist icons such as Shirley Chisholm, Carrie Chapman Catt, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and Golda Meir. Lesser-known women were also included, like renowned pediatrician Helen Rodriguez-Trias, Emily Ivanoff Brown, "the acknowledged Alaskan leader in bilingual education and curriculum" and Edmonia Lewis, "the first Black American to receive international recognition as a sculptor." It was edited by Andrea Fleck Clardy, a self-described "writer, married feminist, mother, School Board member, and Director of Promotion" for CP. Clardy is an award-winning playwright and a longtime educator, community organizer and activist. The other two calendars each boasted powerful photographic images, all taken by women, as well as inspiring quotations, messages of uplift and of injustice. "Women's Work" showed employees of the Greater Chinese American Sewing Company on strike, women providing childcare while at work and engaging in manual labor. November read, "We do it all: earth mother, wage laborer, housekeeper, mover and doer. If our power to affect the direction and quality of life on this planet equalled our ability, our energy, our passion, who can say what would be possible?" "The Strength of Women" focused on the hurdles overcome in the everyday, with fantastic images of women "raising up those who come after," "creating community," "doing work we believe in, earning our own respect in spite of being devalued" and "achieving against heavy odds . . . surprising even ourselves." Each calendar listed the sources from which text and quotations were lifted, serving as ample bibliographies of feminist works, as well as brief biographies of the photographers. Each month also listed the phases of the moon. Rare and extraordinary feminist ephemera. OCLC shows one holding of "Heroines" and none of the other two.

Shop-Beschreibung

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.
