1949réf. 32820672Two volumes. Original decorated cloth designed by Mario Prassinos. Fine. FIRST EDITIONS. The two volumes were published months apart in 1949 each in an edition of 2000 numbered copies from a total edition of 2150. This landmark of feminism presents a scathing analysis of the history and treatment of women in the patriarchal West. Beauvoir begins by asking "What is woman" She argues that man is the default while woman is Other: "Thus humanity is male and man defines woman not herself but as relative to him." "To state the question is to me to suggest at once a preliminary answer. The fact that I ask it is in itself significant. A man would never set out to write a book on the peculiar situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself I must first of all say: 'I am a woman'; on this truth must be based all further discussion. A man never begins by presenting himself as an individual of a certain sex; it goes without saying that he is a man …" "The Second Sex was published in France in 1949 a year after the author—a thirty-eight-year-old public intellectual—was allowed to vote for the first time. French women so belatedly enfranchised would not have access to legal birth control until 1967 or to legal first-trimester abortions until 1975" Judith Thurman. The Second Sex has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has sold millions of copies. It is central work in the transition from the feminism of the woman suffrage era to the second wave feminism of the second half of the 20th century and beyond. A beautiful set of this landmark work.

Catalogue Raisonne Catalog Raisonné Complete Works Life and Work Raisonnee -- with a bonus offer-- - May be EITHER: out of print OOP and extremely rare in this pristine condition; signed by author or contributor; or a first or special edition; inquire for details; A study of the life and work of the painter Simone Martini c.1284-1344 who was well-respected during his life-time but subsequently was considered less important than Giotto and his followers. The author now sets the work of the painter in context relating it to the developments of Gothic Art. Facts about the artist's life - in particular his dealings with his powerful patrons and his commissions in Naples and Avignon - offer the art historian a new perception of fourteenth century Italy. The accompanying illustrated catalogue highlights the wide range of subjects and media that Simone used setting him apart from his contemporaries. Simone Martini's previous publications include "Gothic Art" "The Rise of the Artist" and "The Triumphs of Caesar by Andrea Mantegna". . 1994. 0714823953 . Phaidon Press hardcover
