Second edn. The author's first book. Small 8vo, pp. 408+ adv. In original cloth (chipping and slit along the hinge, title page starting, untrimmed, a good copy. Sabin #23862; Buck 356. Rare. Praised by Charles Sumner, she wrote a book advocating her ideas. At one point Farnham later moved to Boston and worked with Samuel Gridley Howe, taking care of Laura Bridgeman. After hearing of the death of her husband in California, she went west to settle his estate and endeavored to take a group of unmarried women with her to help foster stability and decorum amid the disorder of the gold rush. Upon her arrival in California, she bought a farm in Santa Cruz county and recorded her observations in California Indoors and Out (1856). At this time she taught school, criticized the penitentiary at San Quention and gave public lectures. Much of her time was now spent in preparing her longest and most significant work, Woman and Her Era (1864), a treatise asserting the superiority of the female sex. She addressed the National Woman's Rights Convention in New York City in May, 1858 on this topic. She returned to California after this but continued her public activities. She became active in the Woman's Loyal National League and petitioned Congress to end slavery. She answered the call to go to Gettysburg and work as a nurse and may have shortened her life. She died of consumption in New York City in 1864. In Woman and Her Era, Mrs. Farnham drew upon biology, art, literature, history, religion, and philosophy for a wide range of arguments. She glorified woman's reproductive role as a creative power second only to that of God, and revealed a strong belief in the prenatal influence of the mother . She contended that the deferential treatment accorded women in society, the modesty and delicacy expected of ladies, the horror with which female promiscuity was regarded, and the social disapprobation and wage discrimination suffered by gainfully employed women stemmed from a subconscious realization that the female sex had been created for a higher and more refined sphere of existence than the male. Man's task was to make possible and to maintain a physical environment within which woman as mother and homemaker could work for the moral and spiritual elevation of the race[NAW, Vol. 1, p. 599-600]. This is a description of manners and customs based on her life in Central Illinois in the 1830's and 40's.
