The Feminist Papers: From Adams to de Beauvoir

This paperback edition of The Feminist Papers is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the cover and edges. The spine shows some creasing, indicative of previous use. The pages are yellowed with age but remain intact and legible. There is no dust jacket, as typical for this format, and the book is free from inscriptions or library markings.
