About This Item

London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1954. First edition (UK Edition). Ruth Herschberger, an American biologist and poet, wrote this work exposing the masculine bias in biology. In the UK this was published under a pseudonym. "One of the most unapologetically feminist works of its time" (Shira Tarrant "When sex became gender"). Today, it is surprisingly scarce. Original dust wrapper. Clean and tidy, with just a few tiny areas of edgewear. Pale blue boards are in excellent condition. Book itself is clean and tidy throughout, with just the odd foxing spot. 224 pages. 200 by 140mm (7¾ by 5½ inches). . Première édition (édition britannique). Ruth Herschberger, biologiste et poète américaine, a écrit cet ouvrage qui dénonce les préjugés masculins en biologie. Au Royaume-Uni, l'ouvrage a été publié sous un pseudonyme. "L'un des ouvrages les plus résolument féministes de son époque" (Shira Tarrant "When sex became gender"). Aujourd'hui, il est étonnamment rare. Couverture en papier d'origine. Propre et bien rangé, avec juste quelques petites zones d'usure sur les bords. Les planches bleu pâle sont en excellent état. Le livre lui-même est propre et bien rangé, avec juste quelques rousseurs. 224 pages. 200 x 140 mm
