During the last thirty years or so there has been carried on among our soldiers and sailors a work of practical philanthropy which has conferred incalculable blessings upon them in the way of making them better men themselves, in decreasing their temptations, and in surrounding their lives with a degree of comfort and social well-being previously unknown in either of the two services. "So much," said the late Mrs. Daniell, in a letter dated August 10, 1862, to the Rev. Mr. Pennefather, of Mildmay, "has been written of Aldershot that it is unnecessary for me to enter into the loathsome details of the unblushing vice that tracks the everyday life of the poor soldier. A Christian officer who has been there for two years told a friend on the 17th of last month that nothing that was ever said of the abounding wickedness could go beyond the reality." Then Miss Nightingale once wrote: --"May I from my sick-bed cry for help from England for her soldiers and their Institute at Portsmouth, the great port for embarking and disembarking? If we knew how troops, immediately on landing, are beset with invitations to bad of all kinds, we should hasten to supply them with invitations to, and means for, good to all kinds. If we realized what were the only places open to our men out of barracks, places not of recreation but of drink and vice, to the intense degradation of men, women, and children... if you knew these things as I do you would forgive me for asking you, if my name may still be that of the soldiers' ever-faithful servant, to support Miss Robinson's work in making men of them at Portsmouth, the place of all others of temptation to be brutes." Much the same was f...

Download or read book Women in Medicine in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Claire Brock and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explores the range of reactions to medical women from the mid-nineteenth century up until the start of the Great War in 1914. By covering this period, readers will be introduced to ongoing debates surrounding women in medicine, via sources which explore the possibilities for – as well as the problems of – female professional practice. The perspectives of detractors and supporters, as well as medical women themselves, are taken into account, and especial consideration given to opinions which were not neatly divided along gender lines. Of key concern here is a nuanced tracing through primary material of changes in the perception of medical women, as well as the ways in which lingering prejudices disappeared or remained well into the twentieth century. This volume focuses on two key areas: first, the debates and challenges around medical and surgical education for women; and, second, women’s physical and mental ‘fitness’ to practise. The reproduction of previously unpublished student magazines, both from the foundational London School of Medicine for Women, as well as medical schools which considered admitting women during this period, are an original feature of this volume. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this title will be of great interest to students of Women's History and the History of Medicine.

Book excerpt: Maria S. Rye, a woman motivated by both feminist and philanthropic ideals, devoted her life to the migration of women and girls out of England. This biography gives an account of Rye's activities from her early engagement with liberal feminism through her association with the Langham Place group in the 1850s, her work as a journalist and with the Society for Promoting Women's Employment, through to her efforts in women's and children's emigration Between 1861 and 1896, Maria S. Rye sent many hundreds of single women out to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and more than four thousand children to Canada, all with the promise of a better life in the British colonies than they could expect at home in England. Like many nineteenth century advocates of emigration, she saw it as a panacea for many social ills, taking people from impoverishment in the old world to the hope of better prospects in the new. Unlike other advocates, she linked this enthusiasm for emigration with the ideals of liberal feminism, arguing that women and girls should share the opportunities for advancement that the colonies offered to men and boys Rye played a central role in developing organizations to facilitate the migration of women and girls, starting with the Female Middle Class Emigration Society in 1861. After 1869 she concentrated on the migration of so-called gutter-children to Canada, where her pioneering efforts were followed by numerous other philanthropic associates, such as Barnardo This biography analyzes how feminism and philanthropy intertwined in her activities, and how her early concerns with the rights of women to economic opportunity came to be over-ridden by an authoritarian streak that led to the tragic excesses of her work in juvenile migration.
