ACTITUDES PATRIARCALES: LAS MUJERES EN LA SOCIEDAD by Figes, Eva - 1970

Madrid: Alianza Editorial, 1970 . Paperback. Illustrated wraps. Good. 207 pages. Eva Figes (1932-2012) was a Jewish refugee from Hitler's Germany, an author, a feminist, and a mother. In this book about feminism, Figes uses a diametrically opposite approach - "if the woman has been contemplated for centuries in the mirror made for her by the man, it is of cardinal importance to examine the mentality of the architect who, through the imposition of social expectations and moral norms, has managed to internalize her own scale of values in the other sex." Text in Spanish. Interior clean, covers lightly soiled.
