Gift-quality condition copy, with 310 [11] pp. and with plates, notes, bibliography, and index, replete with gorgeous reproductions printed on high-gloss paper. According to the publisher's blurb, "This book offers the first feminist analysis of the phenomenon of women art collectors in America. Dianne Sachko Macleod brings a surprising paradox to light, showing that collecting, which provided wealthy women with a private sense of solace, also liberated them to venture into the public sphere and make a lasting contribution to the emerging American culture." Sterling condition hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, not price-clipped.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
