  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball. Photos between approximately 7 x 8 ½ to 14 x 11 ½ inches, all very good to near fine. 1946-1948 AAGBL Racine Belles Photographic History of Team & League 121 original photographs approximately between 2.5 x 3.5 inches and 3.5 x 5 inches.
