About This Item
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 women have long pursued a startling range of careers and vocations and that through their work they have supported themselves, their families, and the causes they believed in.
In 2015, Baskin placed her expansive collection of books, manuscripts, photographs, ephemera, and artifacts at the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University. This exhibition and catalogue introduce her collection to the public for the first time. The catalogue was designed by Miko McGinty, Inc., and printed in full color.

About Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press
Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 20,000 titles. Our main specialties are books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children's books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy - plus books about the history of all of these fields.
