Sobre este item
London: George Redway, 1897 First edition. Publisher's brown cloth stamped in gilt. Light soiling to cloth and rubbing to head of spine. Octavvo. A large copy with edges untrimmed. Contemporary ink signature to front flyleaf (Edmund C. Barnett). Foxing to endpapers and first and last few leaves. Otherwise quite clean throughout. A good, tight copy of this collection of the author's "most important feminist articles." "With its belief that legal, social and political equality would effect change from within…The Morality of Marriage and Other Essays (1897), [is] a collection of [Mona Caird's] most important feminist articles…Caird's work explores the themes most characteristic of the time: rights (of citizenship) versus duties (morality, rationality); the nature of womanhood (equal or different?); the sexual division of labour; and independence versus protection (e.g., relating to employment laws). "Writing from within a tradition of Enlightenment thought, Caird asserted women's right to full citizenship and their duty to respect…their own freedom. Although equal by nature, women and men had been made different through nurture. Women's artificial and debilitating difference resulted from the separation of spheres and women's enforced dependency on and subordination to men: in other words, from their slave-status under patriarchy. Though casting herself as a mere reformer and meliorist…Caird called for nothing less than a revolution," (Heilmann, p. 73).

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
