About This Item
New York.: Viking Books., 1989. First edition. 1st printing.. Hard cover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by previous owner. Near fine. Slight blemishing.. 1 Cloth and paper over boards. 275 p. Audience: General/trade. Women's Studies / American Studies 1970s-1980s: A decade after disbanding a weekly gathering of women, a consciousness-raising discussion and support group, 7 of those women come together to explore again sex and marriage; work and motherhood; self-image; political activism; the state of the Women's Movement; and many other themes that had become current. This group had beren like many others of the early 1970s in many homes, coffee shops, and meeting rooms. In a wider context, social history observer Anita Shreve interviewed nearly 100 other women nationwide; and, in alternate chapters, she examines the changing political climate and priorities that had been diffusing the Women's Movement over that interim decade. Shreve proposes a provocative "second wave" of C.R. This is an early work by the now successful and prolific New England-based novelist who builds strong women lead characters facing challenging situations: The Pilot's Wife, Light on Snow, The Weight of Water among them.

About Hedgehog's Whimsey Books
Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
