First edition of the birth-control advocate's "bestselling 'heart' book" (Jean H. Baker) — exhorting women to claim bodily autonomy as a fundamental condition of freedom.
Very good plus.
Price: $750.00
"No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body."
Turned down my Macmillan as too radical, WOMAN AND THE NEW RACE became a bestseller for the publisher willing to take it on, Brentano's. WOMAN AND THE NEW RACE made the argument that birth control was a societal good and became one of the most widely read books of first-wave feminism.
