| Abstract: | The old and rare books, or “treasures” as they are affectionately known, in the Fawcett Library comprise a unique collection of scarce works by and about women dating from 1592. It is the intention here to concentrate on those books which illustrate the position of women through the ages and to highlight a few of the earliest works under the following headings: legal works, the domestic arts, education, and woman's rights. The photographs and quotes used throughout assist in this attempt to demonstrate insights into the lives of women past. |
