Boston: Little Brown, 1971. Book. Fine. Quarter Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Boston, MA, Little Brown, 1971. First edition. 8vo. Teal green quarter cloth with gilt lettering embossed on spine over teal green textured boards, with matching teal green textured endpapers, 240 pp. Earthy, pugnacious and idiosyncratic, Norman Mailer plunges wholeheartedly into the broil over womanhood with this eloquent protestation of the movement's drive to eliminate physical and psychical differences between the sexes. In the process, Mailer explores most facets of love and virtually every variation which it's more obtrusive counterpart, sex is known to assume. Dust jacket has minor shelf wear, one corner clipped, but price is still intact. Fine in a very good+ dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
