Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. This exceptional correspondence documents the esteemed astronomer Maria Mitchell (1818 - 1889) supporting the career of Troy Female Seminary science educator Mary Anne Hastings (1822 - 1906?). Two ALS and an envelope: Maria Mitchell's letter, dated December 6, 1869, 2 pp. on one sheet (measuring 116 x 181 mm, folded), and her envelope (measuring 132 x 73 mm) addressed to Hastings and postmarked Poughkeepsie, NY; and Mary A. Hastings' letter, dated January 10, 1870, 1 p., measuring 133 x 205 mm. In Near Fine condition. Both letters with old folds, and Mitchell's with a patch of toning, but clean overall. Mitchell's letters are scarce in commerce, and letters with significant content are rare: this correspondence is definitely significant, evidencing Mitchell's connections with other women in the sciences and how those connections were essential for women's success in the strictly male-controlled scientific field of the nineteenth century. In 1869, Maria Mitchell was in the fifth year of her appointment as Professor of Astronomy and Directory of the Observatory at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. She had already been an influential astronomer for over two decades: she discovered the comet C/1847 T1 ("Miss Mitchell's Comet") in 1847; was "the only American woman to gain self-supporting scientific employment and international recognition" throughout the 1850s (ANB); and had recently been elected to the American Philosophical Society, only the third woman (and the first American woman) to gain membership. These two letters between Mitchell and Mary A. Hastings capture an instance of Mitchell advocating professionally for another prominent science educator. The letters refer to a meeting at Vassar between the two educators in which they discussed Hastings' potential employment at Swarthmore College: Hastings writes, "Thank you very heartily for the interest you have taken in my going to Swarthmore" and "I am glad I met you for those pleasant hours in Vassar - I dare hardly tell you how precious they were to me." In her own letter, Mitchell notes that she discussed Hastings in correspondence with Swarthmore President Edward Parrish (1822 - 1872): Mitchell forwards Parrish's response ("Thy mention of Miss H. is noted. We still keep her in view") and explains, "So it is as I supposed. They will call no other person, but are not ready for you." Mitchell concludes her letter with well wishes for Hastings and a mention of her colleague Ann Eliza Morse ("I saw Miss Morse this morning. She is well"), the longtime assistant to Vassar's Lady Principal Hannah W. Lyman. Throughout her career, Mitchell was dedicated to cultivating solidarity between professional women; an incident during her tenure at Vassar demonstrates how crucial that solidarity could be. Though Mitchell had already well earned her esteem as an astronomer and educator by the time she began working at the college, she and her fellow educator, Dr. Alida Avery, realized that they were both being paid less than half the salary of their male counterparts (Mitchell herself was being paid less than a third). Beginning in 1870, Mitchell and Dr. Avery became embroiled in a years-long battle with the administration, eventually being granted a significant salary increase that still capped their pay below that of male professors. Mitchell later went on to help organize the Association for the Advancement of Women (a precursor to the General Federation of Women's Clubs) and was an ardent advocate for the acceptance of women in the sciences in particular; her "advocacy and influence" can be partially credited with bringing many women into the field as astronomical computers in the late nineteenth century (ANB). By the time Hastings and Mitchell had their meeting at Vassar, Hastings had been an educator for over twenty years, primarily in mathematics and the sciences. The same year that Mitchell observed her comet, Hastings had gained a teaching appointment at the Troy Female Seminary, her alma mater, where she "became one of the first women in America to offer laboratory lectures with experiments" (University of Michigan). She later served as principal of the Female Seminary in Hamilton, New York and held a teaching position at Ripley Female College in Vermont. At the time she wrote this letter, she had left New England for Virginia, then in the midst of Reconstruction; she observes, in a nod to Mitchell's own abolitionist convictions: "I am learning how the world looks to educated people who have no belief in human rights or faith in human progress, and every day I think God for New England." Though Hastings seemingly never found employment at Swarthmore, she did return to New England to teach mathematics to the inaugural class of fifteen students at Smith College in 1875.
