First edition first impression of the Nobel Prize winner's masterpiece.The Golden Notebook centres on Anna Wulf a writer who is attempting to unify the four fragmented notebooks in which she has compartmentalised her life into a single 'golden' volume. Lessing's inspiration for the novel arose out of a desire to write a book about the act of writing itself. Initially she resisted this ambition feeling as though the trope had been overworked but over time she realised her individual approach could render it entirely new. With an explicit focus on the position of women in society Lessing explores wider societal breakdown through the mental break Anna is experiencing. Written at the dawn of second-wave feminism the work resonates with the era's emergent discourses on sexual liberation and the women's movement. hardcover
