SHACKLES
first edition
1927
by MacBeth, Madge
SHACKLES, Henry Waterson Company, 1927, first American edition, spine lightened, some minor nibling on the page edges of a few leaves, else a tight vg copy. The first edition published by The Graphic Publishers Limited in Canada in 1926 is rare. This, the first American edition is virtually impossible to locate. ("Madge Macbeth's Shackles magnifies the middle-class power and gender dynamics of its time. At turns provocative and surprising, and filled with dialogue and debate that expose early twentieth century limitations and opportunities for both women and men, Shackles is a colourful depiction of first-wave feminism in Canada").-----Erin Wunker.
