About This Item

Figes's feminist polemic examines "in historical perspective the attitudes which have helped to determine the role of women in society" (blurb). It was published at a crucial moment in the feminist movement, the same year as Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch and Kate Millett's Sexual Politics. Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered and ruled in gilt. With dust jacket. Spine ends slightly rubbed, gilt bright, two faint marks to boards; jacket extremities rubbed, lightly soiled, verso top edge browned, unclipped: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
