Man-Made World, or Our Androcentric Culture, The.
Gilman, Charlotte Perkins. The Man-Made World or, Our Androcentric Culture [CPG Family Archive]. New York: Charlton Company, 1914.
Small 12mo, 260 pp.; + 4 publisher’s ads; offsetting to endpapers from the dust-jacket flaps; some roughness along front hinge with paper split 1-1/4”; maroon linen cloth; printed label at spine; dark brown dust-jacket; lower edges a little rubbed; mild speckling to fore-edge; very good with the binding and dust-jacket quite fresh.
Third edition. Inscribed at the front free endpaper ink ink: To my dear daughter / Katharine / from Mother. / 1935. Gilman has written the inscription in a hand markedly less firm than customary, very likely reflecting the inroads her cancer had made on her health and general well-being. She had moved to California following the sudden death of her husband in 1934 to be closer to her daughter. This inscription, written in the last year of her life, has an implicit poignancy. Scharnhorst 1381.
