FIGES, Eva
Patriarchal Attitudes
London, Faber and Faber, (1970). Inscribed by Figes to her parents: "To Mummy & Daddy with love/ Eva/ 23rd May 1970." This was Figes's first book of nonfiction, a feminist classic published the same year as Greer's The Female Eunuch and Millet's Sexual Politics. An excellent association copy, for the author who wrote (in this book) "...woman is taught to desire not what her mother desired for herself, but what her father and all men find desirable in a woman." Spine- and edge-sunned; a near fine copy, in a supplied, near fine dust jacket.
