CINCINNATI CLUB
Books
The club offers two scholarly works regarding Mount Holyoke and Cincinnati women. Books are signed by the authors. A portion of the funds will be donated to the college.
A Separate Sphere: Dressmakers in Cincinnati's Golden Age 1877-1922 by Cynthia Amneus; hardcover, $64 includes s/h. About the book: Dressmaking, considered a natural extension of women's proper work in the home, was a common and lucrative employment for women in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It afforded expression, prestige in the community, and even the possibility of financial independence. It "examines the nineteenth century of women's separate sphere, the early feminist movement, women in the workplace, and dressmakers as artisans and professionals," as well cultural and commercial advancements in Cincinnati that accompanied these changes.
Defining Women's Scientific Enterprise: Mount Holyoke Faculty and the Rise of American Science by Miriam R. Levin; hardcover $30 includes s/h. About the book:
“Historically, the most important source of possibilities for single women lay in posts as faculty in women’s colleges and the seminaries that preceded them. As teachers and administrators in a network of single-sex and coeducational colleges and seminaries, the faculty of Mount Holyoke contributed to shaping and disseminating science from the time Mary Lyon founded the seminary in 1837,” providing “an exemplar of the important role liberal arts colleges have played in the education of American scientists.”
To order either signed book, contact: Jennifer Harris Daniels, POB 27118,Cincinnati, OH 45227-0118, mhc75jhd@aol.com. Make checks payable to the Mount Holyoke Club of Cincinnati.

TURKEY CLUB
Handmade FIMO Necklaces
FIMO is a versatile, pliable polymer clay with brilliant color intensity. (FIMO is an acronym for the clay’s inventor, Fifi Rehbinder, and for mosaic.) The FIMO clay in kneaded by hand and sculpted by layering, pressing, squeezing, pinching, rolling, and cutting—a process that requires much skill. Once it is oven-baked it becomes a sturdy, durable object. A talented young friend of our club is making the most incredible necklaces with this material. The patterns are influenced in part by personal perceptions and in part by dynamics from the environment but mostly it is whim and ingenuity. Consequently each single bead of each necklace is unique. These exquisite necklaces are handcrafted to delight you and your close friends and family; they are much too pretty to give to just anyone. The cost of one necklace is $15 plus $5 for s/h. The necklaces can be seen at www.angelfire.com/mt/holyoke/products.html To order, please contact Arzu Gurz Abay ’94.
