See More... Ashton, Jean EMERGING VOICES: AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS, 1650-1920
New York The Grolier Club 1998 6 x 9 inches paperback 120 pages
This catalogue, made to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from March 11 to May 2, 1998, expresses the voices of American women writers through their books. The catalogue explores the movement of women writers in America, beginning with the homespun verse of Ann Bradstreet (the first volume of poetry published by any American) and closing with the appearance of Edith Wharton's highly polished "Age of Innocence" (winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for the best American novel). It is intended to be an overview of the works of authors who reflect the historical concerns of women living in America and the emerging voice of the American woman writer. The book also includes a frontispiece in color and a full-page illustration in black-and-white. It was designed and typeset by Katy Homans, and printed by the Stinehour Press.

See More... Babcock, Robert G. (editor) A BOOK OF HER OWN: AN EXHIBITION OF MANUSCRIPTS AND PRINTED BOOKS IN THE YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY THAT WERE OWNED BY WOMEN BEFORE 1700.
New Haven, CT Yale University 2005 4to. stiff paper wrappers 78 pages
Books tell us many things beyond what their authors write in them. Single copies of books, for instance, often reveal their particular history, who owned them, who read them, who gave them as gifts, how they changed hands over the years. This catalogue of the Beinecke Library exhibition, A Book of Her Own, explores an unusual aspect of book history: all of the books in the display, based on various sorts of evidence contained in the books, were owned by women before the year 1700.

See More... (Bookbinding) Tidcombe, Marianne WOMEN BOOKBINDERS 1880-1920.
London & New Castle, Delaware The British Library & Oak Knoll Press (1996) 8vo. quarter cloth, marbled paper sides. 240 pages.
First Edition. During the period 1880-1920, the number of women craft bookbinders in Britain increased dramatically. In this, the first major study of its kind, Marianne Tidcombe provides a timely and authoritative introduction to the role and work of women craft binders during the period. The foremost women binders - including Sarah Prideaux, Katherine Adams, Sybil Pye - are discussed at some length (as is the Guild of Women Binders), but all significant figures are included. The appendices illustrate the tools used by Prideaux, Adams and Pye, and provide a list of women in charge of bookbinding shops in Britain before 1900.
Superbly illustrated throughout - with 32 color plates and over 100 black-and-white photographs - this handsomely produced book will make a significant contribution to the study of the role of women in the late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century book trade. Sales rights: North and South America; available elsewhere from The British Library.
