Title: Mrs. Cardigan
Author: Thomas, Annie [Mrs. Pender Cudlip]
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: London: Chapman and Hall, 193, Piccadilly, 1879. First Edition. 3 vols, 8vo (194 x 140mm), pp. [viii], 279, [1]; [viii], 259, [1]; [viii], 243, [1]. Publisher’s smooth brown cloth with a decorative design blocked in black, gilt spines. A bright, fine set with only the lsightest bit of rubbing. A scarce first edition of this work by Thomas, one of most popular and prolific writers of romantic fiction during the Victorian era. OCLC locates only 3 copies. Annie Hall Thomas (1838–1918), who published under her own name and later as Mrs. Pender Cudlip, was among the most prolific writers of romantic fiction during the Victorian era, producing well over one hundred novels and short stories between 1862 and the early twentieth century. Born in Suffolk, the only daughter of a naval officer, she began writing to support herself and published her first novel, The Cross of Honour, in 1863. Her publisher William Tinsley remarked that she could produce a three-volume novel in a mere six weeks. Many of her early works were considered controversial for their treatment of subjects such as the sexuality of young women and illegitimate pregnancy, and her heroines were characteristically independent and unconventional. In 1866 she refused an offer of marriage from W. S. Gilbert; the following year she married the Reverend Pender Hodge Cudlip, a High Church clergyman. She was also a regular contributor to All the Year Round and other periodicals, and served as editor of Ours: A Holiday Quarterly. Despite her enormous output and the popularity she enjoyed at the height of her career, her later years were marked by financial difficulty; by 1908 she reported that the highest offer she had received for a novel was fifteen pounds.

Title: An activist promotes the interests of women wanting official positions in the church
Author: [American Woman Suffrage Association] Matilda Hindman
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: Cincinnati, Ohio, 1880. 6 page Autograph Letter Signed with transmittal envelope, dated May 25, 1880 and stamped May 26. Pages measuring 200 x 122mm with original horizontal foldlines. Clean and legible. Matilda Hindman of Pennsylvania was an influential leader of the women's suffrage movement in the U.S. and was particularly influential in equality campaigns taking place across Ohio, South Dakota, and Colorado from 1880-1890. Only the second woman to graduate from Ohio's Mt. Union College (in 1860), she was highly invested in promoting the interests of women in regions that could be used as strong precedent for the expansion of education, employment, and voting rights nationwide. The present letter, to suffragist Mary Plumb Nichols of Denver, deals directly with this work -- including both Hindman's service as an AWSA delegate advocating for women's expanded roles in the church as well as the unfair practices she herself has confronted of being denied payment for work once it is completed. Her letter from Cincinnati documents in real time some of the debates unfolding at the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (May 1-28, 1880) and reads in part: "My dear Mrs. Nichols, It is a long time since I received your last most welcome letter. Had I not been so very busy I would have answered long ere now. I came here almost three weeks ago, as a Delegate from the American Woman Suffrage Association to memorialize the General Convention of the M. E. Church asking that it license women to preach and ordain them as Deacons and Elders. It is here as elsewhere the women...are sufficiently advanced to go so far as to believe they should be ordained. But the subject will come up in the General Conference and we will see what we can do. Can you, Oh! Yes, you can understand what one can and must suffer to sit helpless and hear herself and her sex derided, actually made to appear as persons willing to do the most infamous acts for self agrandizement. Dr. What a title for such a man: well, Dr. Buckley of New York said if women were admitted as preachers it would have the most demoralizing effect, as they would use their feminine influence on the Presiding Elders that they miht obtain good appointments and there would be no end to the Church scandals." That said, she notes that "when the subject came up in the Con. to change the Discipline, there was another big contest. Twenty voted for and twenty eight against giving women the right to hold all offices in the Church that a layman can hold." A conversation that points to debates that persist even today, Hindman expresses her frustration with the sexualization of women and the misogyny of Church and government structures willing to accuse women of unethical behavior even while they themselves engage in it. For the remainder of her letter deals with Colorado Governor John Evans and his refusal to pay her now that her efforts to organize and speak at the convention in his state are complete. "I really thought that as I had done the work the Con. arranged for me and bargained to pay me for, I should receive the renumeration agreed upon. He said he did not think the Con. ought to pay it, as he said he would not be personally responsible." Committing to continue pushing on the governor's office, Hindman nevertheless expresses concern about her own financial loss and appeals to Nichols as well as other local leaders to raise funds to assist her meanwhile. While women eventually gained the right to preach and be licensed and ordained in the M. E. Church in 1920, this position was backtracked when the organization merged with the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Protestant Church in 1939. Women would not regain their clergy rights until 1952.

Title: Success [Script for an African American Soap Opera]
Author: Moses, Tom
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: N.P.: N.P., 1982. Very good. 11” x 8½”. Thin card wrappers/loose leaves, three-hold and punched printed rectos only. pp. 61. Very good: front wrap with staining from paperclip, otherwise bright and clean throughout. This is a screenplay for an African American soap opera which never aired, Success. The title page mentions that “this story is created by the author from a true life experience, with some fictional creativity.” The author's name is too common to successfully research, and we'll note that IMDB has a listing for a Tom Moses who was a Black actor who appeared on McCloud and Columbo in the early 1970s. This script predates television's first Black soap opera, Generations, which premiered March 27, 1989 and ran through January 1991. The plot of this pilot begins with flashbacks, initially in Washington, D.C., where we meet Angela Saunders, a ten year old girl who overheard her parents arguing and learned that her father was not her biological father. The next scene took place in 1974 and Angela asked her mother about her birth father, wanting to know who he was and it was revealed that he was “in Hollywood,” and that his name was Tom Phillips. The action then cuts to 1983 with Tom reading a letter from Angela asking if he was her real father and we learn that Tom was an actor and also ran a performing arts school. Later, Angela goes to California to meet Tom and stay with his family; on arrival she asks if her mother could visit as well. Tom's wife agrees, setting up one of the story's major conflicts. Interspersed throughout is standard soap opera fare including sexual trysts, a philandering producer, familial misunderstandings, searing hatreds, blackmail, and other juicy bits.
