Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘As a class, women seem always to have been too busy to say much about themselves. And sometimes it has seemed that the more worthwhile their deeds the less they said about them. Few women have had Boswells, though many should have’. <br /> Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, 1937 <br /><br />A woman’s role in society, until recently, has traditionally been as wife, mother, and caregiver. She is often remembered in history, overwhelmingly written by men, for her looks, her body, or her scandalous behaviour. Women make up at least half of the world’s population, but they occupy less than one percent of recorded history. As you will find in this exhibition, <strong>The Female of the Species: A Celebration of Women in History</strong>, women have always been writers, inventors, leaders, activists, and warriors. However, their contributions have often been overlooked, fading into a background overshadowed by men. <br /><br />The paucity of resources about women has proven a challenge, but in the exhibition, you will find books highlighting familiar faces: Cleopatra, Emmeline Pankhurst, Marie Curie, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and Janet Frame. You will also learn of the endeavours of less familiar women in history: Christine de Pisan, the 14th century proto-feminist; Boudica, Queen of the Iceni; Hypatia, the mathematician; Ida Pfeiffer, the Austrian traveller; Mary Somerville, the scientist; Ann Radcliffe, the writer; Margaret Sanger, the birth control activist; Teuta, the pirate Queen; Charlotte Guillard, the Paris printer; and many more besides. <br /><br />Let us now bring the exploits of all these women into the light.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Born into slavery, <strong>Harriet Tubman</strong>’s first act of rebellion was to run away from her owner in 1849. Called the ‘Moses’ of her people, <strong>Tubman</strong> (c. 1820-1913) was the only woman, and the only black, who became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, She led about 70 slaves, in a dozen or so raids, to their freedom in the north of America. <strong>Tubman</strong> went on to become a cook, nurse, scout, and spy for the Union Army in the American Civil War (1861-65), and the only woman to lead a troop of some 300 men. After the end of the Civil War, and the emancipation of all slaves, <strong>Tubman</strong> continued her fight for racial justice. She also campaigned for women’s right to vote. In 2016, the Treasury of the United States of America announced that <strong>Tubman</strong> would feature on the $20 bill.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Thought to have been a boy at birth, <strong>Queen Christina</strong> of Sweden (1629-1689) received all the educational advantages of being one in 17th century Europe. Described by her tutor as ‘not like a female’, <strong>Christina</strong> became ‘one of the most learned women’ of the time. She inherited the throne aged six when her father died, and from age 18, she ruled Sweden until her abdication in 1654. During her reign,<strong> Christina</strong> encouraged the sciences, arts, and culture in her Court; she insisted on dressing androgynously; and she refused to marry, apparently having several same-sex relationships in her life. As described in Henri de Valois’s piece, <strong>Christina</strong> was a ‘SERENISSIMA ac DOCTISSIMA REGINA’ – ‘fairest and most learned Queen’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Italian-born, <strong>Christine de Pisan</strong> (1364-c.1430) grew up in Charles’s V’s court in Paris, where her father was a physician and astrologer. Unusually, for the time, she received an education, and began to write. Most scholars and authors were unmarried men, but the widow <strong>de Pisan</strong> managed to make a living from her writing; the first woman to do so in Europe. In her lifetime, <strong>de Pisan</strong> produced at least 30 books of essays and poetry, her most well-known is <em>The Book of the City of Ladies</em> (1405). In her works, she promoted equality of education for the sexes, objected to the ‘trivialisation of women’s domestic work’, and celebrated female virtues. Despite promulgating these proto-feminist ideas, she never demanded that society change or reform. <strong>De Pisan</strong> knew her limits.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Elizabeth I</strong> (1533-1603) was declared illegitimate after her father, King Henry VIII, had her mother, Anne Boleyn, executed in 1536. Despite this, and after the death of her half-brother and sister, <strong>Elizabeth</strong> became Queen of England in 1558. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> has been described as a ‘canny and utterly ruthless’ leader – she led England out of troubled times, and was a religiously tolerant monarch. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> never married, claiming in a speech to Parliament that she had married England and its people were her children. She gave her name to the Elizabethan Age, and ruled for 45 years. The literature on <strong>Elizabeth</strong>’s life and times is abundant. Here is Francis Osborne’s <em>Historical Memoires</em>, in which he describes her moderate and stable rule.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Despite disapproving of marriage, <strong>Dora Russell</strong> (née Black, 1894-1986) wed the much older mathematician and philosopher, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) in 1921 because she was pregnant. A progressive, <strong>Dora</strong> campaigned her whole life on a variety of platforms – birth control, sexual freedom and equality for women, gender equality in education, peace, and at the end of her life, against nuclear armament. She worked hard to come out from behind her husband’s shadow, and despite his support of women’s suffrage, he believed women were the less intelligent half of the species. In the preface of her feminist work,<em> Hypatia</em>, <strong>Dora</strong> predicted that the book would go the way of its namesake and be torn to pieces; her prediction came true. In the text of the book, she writes in support ‘for women’s sexual freedom and against marriage’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Dorothy Richardson</strong>’s semi-autobiographical ‘Pilgrimage’ series was published between 1915 and 1967. <em>Interim</em> is the fifth instalment in which she attempts to create a character, Miriam, who embodies the female ‘quest for the essence of human experience’ (J.C. Powys). In literature, <strong>Richardson</strong> (1873-1957) is important because she was one of the first modern novelists to use a ‘stream of consciousness’ technique in her work. This narrative experiment predates that of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. <strong>Richardson</strong> actually hated the term, calling it in 1949, ‘that lamentably meaningless metaphor’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘As a class, women seem always to have been too busy to say much about themselves. And sometimes it has seemed that the more worthwhile their deeds the less they said about them. Few women have had Boswells, though many should have’. <br /> Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, 1937 <br /><br />A woman’s role in society, until recently, has traditionally been as wife, mother, and caregiver. She is often remembered in history, overwhelmingly written by men, for her looks, her body, or her scandalous behaviour. Women make up at least half of the world’s population, but they occupy less than one percent of recorded history. As you will find in this exhibition, <strong>The Female of the Species: A Celebration of Women in History</strong>, women have always been writers, inventors, leaders, activists, and warriors. However, their contributions have often been overlooked, fading into a background overshadowed by men. <br /><br />The paucity of resources about women has proven a challenge, but in the exhibition, you will find books highlighting familiar faces: Cleopatra, Emmeline Pankhurst, Marie Curie, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and Janet Frame. You will also learn of the endeavours of less familiar women in history: Christine de Pisan, the 14th century proto-feminist; Boudica, Queen of the Iceni; Hypatia, the mathematician; Ida Pfeiffer, the Austrian traveller; Mary Somerville, the scientist; Ann Radcliffe, the writer; Margaret Sanger, the birth control activist; Teuta, the pirate Queen; Charlotte Guillard, the Paris printer; and many more besides. <br /><br />Let us now bring the exploits of all these women into the light.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘<em>Auctor….femina fuit</em>’ – ‘The author…was a woman’ – so says the preface to this reprint of <em>Itinerarium Egeriae</em> – ‘The Travels of <strong>Egeria</strong>’. The text is a detailed account of <strong>Egeria</strong>’s three-year journey from Western Europe, probably France or Spain, to the Middle East. It is the earliest written example of a Christian pilgrimage. <strong>Egeria</strong> wrote for a female audience, and described her stay in Jerusalem, from where she visited many Holy Places, like Mount Sinai. She also recorded detailed descriptions of religious practices in the Holy Land. It is uncertain whether <strong>Egeria</strong> was a nun, but she was certainly educated, and a pious Christian, with the means and strength to travel – a difficult task for anyone in the 4th century.

Description
An account of the resource
From the middle of the seventeenth to the beginning of the nineteenth-century, Japan, through the Tokugawa Shōgunate, was successful in rigorously enforcing a policy of seclusion. No Europeans were allowed into Japan except the Dutch who were allowed to land a ship every yEar In July 1853 Commodore Matthew Perry, with a squadron of four ships-of-war entered Uraga Bay, just south of Yokohama. He returned the next year and a treaty was signed to allow the opening of Shimoda (south of Numazu and Mishima) and Hakodate (on Hokkaido) to ships seeking provisions. This contact represented the 'opening' of Japan (Dai Nippon) to the modern world.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Jeanne d’Arc, <strong>Joan of Arc</strong>, or the Maid of Orléans (1412-31) was inspired by ‘visions’, and petitioned King Charles VII to go into battle for France against the English in the Hundred Years War. In early May of 1429, Joan, still only a teenager, dressed in armour and atop her horse, accompanied the French troops in a successful siege to liberate Orléans. She was instrumental in turning France’s fortune in the war. Joan was a rebel in the sense that she challenged societal convention, fought for what she believed in, and never gave up. She became a hero for the French. However, the English saw Joan as a cross-dressing witch, and after capturing her in 1430, they quickly convicted her and burnt her at the stake. Here is the first volume of Robert Southey’s epic poem on the legendary Joan.

<strong>Robin Hyde</strong>'s work as a journalist and columnist at the <em>Dominion</em>, the <em>Christchurch Sun</em>, and <em>Mirror</em> led her to write about her experiences. <em>Journalese</em> appeared in 1934. In a period of four years, after much personal suffering, and travel, she wrote five novels: <em>Passport to Hell</em> (1936), <em>Check To Your King</em> (1936), <em>Wednesday’s Children</em> (1937), <em>Nor the Years Condemn</em> (1938), and <em>The Godwits Fly</em> (1938). The reputation of this very modern writer continues to rise.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Queen Victoria</strong> (1819-1901) gave her name to an entire era. Born in Kensington Palace, London, <strong>Victoria</strong> endured an isolated childhood and was heavily controlled by her mother. She ascended the throne at the age of 18 and ruled Great Britain and Ireland for the next 64 years. <strong>Victoria</strong> had nine children, popularising the use of the anaesthetic chloroform along the way. Unusually for the time, all her offspring survived childhood. She was a prolific letter and journal writer and in all, it is thought <strong>Victoria</strong> wrote 60 million words in her lifetime. Here is a letter in her hand, to the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), approving the continuation of Sir John Murray’s command in Nova Scotia, among other things.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Lady Mary Montagu</strong>’s famed ‘Embassy Letters’ were the result of her two years in Turkey, when she accompanied her husband, the British ambassador, to his post in Constantinople. Her <em>Letters</em>, written from a then uniquely new female perspective, describe the Turkish men and women encountered, their dress, habits, traditions, limitations, and liberties. <strong>Montagu</strong> happily wore the veil (<em>yashmak</em>), which enabled her greater freedom of movement denied to other uncovered Christian females. She was the first to favourably describe polygamy. <strong>Montagu</strong> (1689-1762) was well equipped for her travels. She had read <em>Arabian Nights</em>, de la Croix’s <em>Milles et un jours</em> (<em>Persian Tales</em>), and the <em>Koran</em> (in French). She had Latin, and understood Turkish in the original. This third edition appeared in 1763, the same year as the first.

‘As a class, women seem always to have been too busy to say much about themselves. And sometimes it has seemed that the more worthwhile their deeds the less they said about them. Few women have had Boswells, though many should have’. <br /> Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, 1937 <br /><br />A woman’s role in society, until recently, has traditionally been as wife, mother, and caregiver. She is often remembered in history, overwhelmingly written by men, for her looks, her body, or her scandalous behaviour. Women make up at least half of the world’s population, but they occupy less than one percent of recorded history. As you will find in this exhibition, <strong>The Female of the Species: A Celebration of Women in History</strong>, women have always been writers, inventors, leaders, activists, and warriors. However, their contributions have often been overlooked, fading into a background overshadowed by men. <br /><br />The paucity of resources about women has proven a challenge, but in the exhibition, you will find books highlighting familiar faces: Cleopatra, Emmeline Pankhurst, Marie Curie, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and Janet Frame. You will also learn of the endeavours of less familiar women in history: Christine de Pisan, the 14th century proto-feminist; Boudica, Queen of the Iceni; Hypatia, the mathematician; Ida Pfeiffer, the Austrian traveller; Mary Somerville, the scientist; Ann Radcliffe, the writer; Margaret Sanger, the birth control activist; Teuta, the pirate Queen; Charlotte Guillard, the Paris printer; and many more besides. <br /><br />Let us now bring the exploits of all these women into the light.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Physicist <strong>Marie Curie</strong> (1867-1934) was born Marya Skoldowska in Poland. Initially educated in Warsaw, she attended the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1903, <strong>Curie</strong> won her first Nobel Prize (the first woman to do so), alongside her husband, Pierre, and a colleague, Henri Becquerel, for their researches into radiation. During her career, <strong>Curie</strong> also lectured at the Sorbonne; won another Nobel Prize – this time solo in 1911; and trained radiographers for WWI. She continued her studies into radium and radioactivity her whole life, all the while refusing to accept the dangers of radiation. This biography, written by her daughter Eve, paints <strong>Curie</strong> as a highly intelligent, selfless woman, who eschewed fame and fortune for the greater good. <strong>Curie</strong>, of course, died of radiation poisoning.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Trota</strong> of Salerno, Italy, was an 11th century medical practitioner. Tolerated as a female in the medical world, <strong>Trota</strong> wrote a treatise focussed on women’s health, specifically for a female audience. Over time, the treatise was copied, translated, and added to, and the extant manuscripts have become known as the ‘<strong>Trotula</strong> texts’. In the preface of some variations, the translator encourages literate women to read the text to illiterate women, so the knowledge becomes widespread. This book contains an ‘English <strong>Trotula</strong>’ (Sloane Manuscript 2463), translated from Middle English, and like all <strong>Trotula</strong>, it covers all kinds of medical conditions specific to women. Here is one of the sixteen explanations, with illustration, on ‘unnatural childbirth’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
At 34, <strong>Lady Hester Stanhope</strong> (1776-1839) left England for the Middle East, never to return. This forceful and opinionated (according to William Pitt, her uncle) woman was a risk taker, certainly in a world dominated by male social and religious customs. En route to Cairo, <strong>Stanhope</strong> lost all her possessions. She refused to wear a veil, and adopted male attire. Indeed, she met the local Pasha wearing a purple velvet robe, embroidered trousers, waistcoat, jacket, and a sabre. Known as ‘Queen <strong>Hester</strong>’, she undertook the first archaeological dig in Palestine, excavating the ruins of Ashkelon, north of Gaza. She retired to Sidon, halfway between Tyre and Beirut, reclusive, but still forceful. This is volume one of <strong>Stanhope</strong>’s <em>Memoirs</em>.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<strong>Frances Hodgkins</strong> (1869-1947) left New Zealand in 1900, age 31 and spent time in London, Manchester, Paris, and Morocco, eking out a living painting, and teaching. She returned briefly to New Zealand in 1912 as ‘the girl from down under who conquered Paris’. Although her European reputation grew, life as an artist was always hard, and support from the Calico Printers Association, the London Group, the Seven and Five Society, and individuals such as Arthur Howell, enabled her to continue. <strong>Hodgkins</strong> remained fiercely independent, determined, and by necessity, obstinate. She is regarded as one of New Zealand’s foremost artists. This catalogue of a ‘Memorial Exhibition’ of her works shown at the Tate Gallery, London, is from the Brasch Collection.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Although most of her works were published anonymously, <strong>Anne Finch</strong>, Countess of Winchilsea (1661–1720) was encouraged by friends Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope to voice her writing in her own name. The first edition of <em>Miscellany Poems</em> was advertised as ‘Written by a Lady’. In later printings, like this scarce edition,<strong> Finch</strong> bucked the anonymity trend; her name was emblazoned on the title-page. Topics touched on were wide-ranging: marriage, fortune, depression, political events, and spiritual beliefs. Many of her poems are laced with feelings on how hard it was for a woman writer to gain respect in a man’s world. And, like many others before and after, she mused on the temporality of life. <strong>Finch</strong> is an important female poet of the Restoration era.
