London: Peter Owen, 1966. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First English edition. Near fine, with faint foxing to the foredge and a small stain on the rear board, in a very good plus dustwrapper with slight soiling and minor scuffing to the front panel. In this book, Sarton first revealed her homosexuality to the public, and the book was panned on publication. Years later, it was rediscovered by the Gay Liberation and Women's Movements, and taken as an example of female and lesbian empowerment. Linda Thornburg wrote and directed the film version released in 2004. (Inventory #: 79138)
