Description
8vo, 277pp. Hardcover in paper covered grey boards with crimson paper spine binding and title embossed in gilt on the spine in very good condition with colour fading of the bottom edges and some minor spine and corner bruising as well with a bright , clean non price-clipped d/w in grey and red with Steinem’s photo on the front cover and red titling. A closed neat 2cm tear of the rear d/w near the spine has been neatly internally repaired, as well as there being minor shop soiling on the fore-edge, it is now protected by clear archival covering as well, Internally the book is in excellent condition devoid of all extraneous markings and prior owner annotations, with no foxing either. Writer, activist, organiser, and inspiring leader – Steinem received the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from Obama in 2013 as well as a huge list of prior literary awards. This book is a personal and beautiful look at the then deceptively radical act of travel and how it formed one of our most important voices for human rights and is usually read by women but should be read by men.
