London, Faber and Faber, (1970). Figes's first book of nonfiction, a feminist classic published the same year as Greer's The Female Eunuch and Millet's Sexual Politics. Inscribed by Figes to her parents: "To Mummy & Daddy with love/ Eva/ 23rd May 1970." An excellent association copy, especially for an author who writes "...a 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. [#034714] $1,000
