Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. Quarto (18 × 27 cm). Original photo-illustrated staple-stitched wrappers; 6 pp. Light overall wear and creasing; still about very good. The harsh realities of the lives of Kurdish women are emphasized in this promotional pamphlet for the Soviet silent drama "Zare" which premiered in Yerevan, in Soviet Armenia in 1926. The pamphlet includes the film synopsis, an essay by the director Hamo Beknazarian (1891-1965) about the making of the film, as well as a film review. The director, who also wrote the script for the picture, places special emphasis on the lives of Kurdish women, noting in the pamphlet that "they work more than their men", and are subjected to harsher social censure. The life of Zare, who is defamed by her community after refusing to marry a man she does not love is presented as an example. The Soviet silent film star Maria Tadevosian (1903-1930), who played the role of Zare appears on the cover of the pamphlet. Zare was only the third feature to be filmed at the new Armenfilm studios, and is exemplary of the early Soviet promotion of "internationalism" and "women's emancipation".
The poster for the film was designed by the famous avant-garde artist Vladimir Senberg, who also designed posters for Battleship Potemkin and The Man With the Movie Camera. Hamo Beknazarian's previous film, "Shor and Shorshor" (1926), an extremely popular comedy about the misadventures of two village fools, is advertised on the rear wrapper of the pamphlet. Publisher advertising to last page.
As of February 2021, KVK, OCLC show only one copy, at Yale.

Description:
New York and Durham, NC: Grolier Club and Duke University, The, 2019. Stiff paper wrappers. 9.15 x 11 inches. Stiff paper wrappers. 160 pages. "The value of 'Five Hundred Years' went beyond the parade of exceptional women who managed to keep up with the guys, doing the things guys do. It lay in the show's interleaving of spectacular achievements and humble ones... At the Grolier, it was easy to find yourself gently and subversively nudged into reconsidering the parameters of 'achievement' altogether." - Susan Tallman, The New York Review of Books With essays by Lisa Unger Baskin, Elizabeth C. Denlinger, and Laura Micham. Women's work. The phrase usually conjures up domestic duties or occupations traditionally associated with women-such as teaching, nursing, or housekeeping. The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection upends those associations and makes the true breadth of women's contributions visible. By bringing together materials from across the centuries, Baskin reveals what has been hidden-that…

Suncook, Pembroke, N.H., 1878. 12mo, original russet cloth, gilt title and decorative black stamping on front cover, lower cover with blind-stamped title and ornament. Frontis. portrait engraving, 63 pp., illus. On the morning of October 4, 1875, the beautiful 17-year-old Josie Langmaid did not show up for school. When Pembroke Academy staff notified her family, a search party was assembled. That night the party found her decapitated and violated body in the woods near the school and discovered her head the next morning. Following the initial arrest of innocent parties, the actual murderer was identified as French-Canadian woodcutter Joseph Lapage. Tried and found guilty, he admitted to his crime (as well as a similar murder in Vermont) on March 15th, 1878 and was hung the following day. The town of Pembroke placed a monument to the victim near the murder site, with directions to the sites where her body and head were discovered. Keeler's forty-page poetic eulogy is preceded by a brief account of…
