Though neither work showed much original thought, they were quite popular in academic circles of the time and were re-issued several times.

New York: Summit Books, 1992. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. French's polemic against sexual abuse and discrimination is still current and still strong reading 20 years after publication.

A few pages show lightly bumped upper corners, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered or ex-libris. The dustjacket shows only a touch of edge-wear, no tears or chipping, not price-clipped.
