Gilt Modern Library B&L insignia on cover. Toledano spine #2. "This short book of essays by Edward Carpenter is a look at gender roles at the start of the 20th century, and his prescient vision of how those roles might evolve. In the past century many of his then-utopian predictions have come to pass, such as rational sexual education, greater equality for women, recognition of a spectrum of sexual identities, widespread acceptance of trial and open relationships, and the amelioration of the stifling nature of traditional marriage. Some of these predictions, inevitably, such as the use of 'Karezza' (extended coitus without ejaculation) for contraception, and a communist society leading to the liberation of women from the drudgery of housework, have fallen flat." 199pp plus ad.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers have mild rubbing and edgewear. Pages are clear. Binding and textblock are sound. Full refund if not satisfied.
