Very good; wraps show some edge and cover wear, light crease on front wrap; binding sound; small spot on fore-edge. Interior clean and unmarked. ‘”An eloquent, unsparing account of how affluent Western women have escaped from one form of enslavement only to fall into another – the increasingly insidious ‘beauty myth’ … [Wolf] effectively documents how definitions of beauty undermine women in their professions, how the culture alienates women from their own bodies and sexuality, and how little choice women really have about obsessions with appearance.”’ (-San Francisco Chronicle – from rear wrap)
