Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Illustrated with black and white photographs. ***Very good in mottled effect buff cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Light vertical crease to spine. No inscriptions. Slight spine lean. Spine tight. In a very good colour printed dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped showing original publisher's price of £5.95 net. Edges of dustwrapper slightly rubbed, browned and creased. No tears. ***304 pages including index to rear. 242 mm x 166 mm. ***'This is the autobiography of one of the first, most spirited of this century's champions of the cause of women. Dora Russell's story constitutes a fascinating panorama of English rationalist reformism, and reformers, from 1914 to the outbreak of the Second World War, and throws striking light on Bertrand Russell, her husband for twelve years. ***The author emerged from an Edwardian childhood into a period of women's emancipation, the expansion of industrialism, revolution and the rising working class. Her whole life and thought were to be deeply concerned with all these, and broadened by her experience, in the critical post-war period, of three widely differing civilizations - the United States, the Soviet Union and China. The Cambridge in which she studied as an undergraduate was prominent in the cultural revolution of the time, which was eagerly discusses at the influential Heretics society under the auspices of C. K. Ogden. ***The author's association with Russell began during the First World War, when his pacifist protest made him the idol of the younger generation. Each separately visited Russia to see the results of the Bolshevik Revolution. Then both went to China where their state of unmarried bliss and secular philosophy scandalized the Western delegations and missionaries, but gave great encouragement to the Chinese. The pair believed passionately that love should be freely given and not subjected to possessive rights over the person such as were embodied in the marriage laws of the time, especially degrading to women.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). *** For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
