$ 100.00
First U.S. edition. Translated by Linda Asher. Green cloth, spine stamped in gilt. Near fine copy with edges lightly faded in a very good jacket with lightly rubbed edges and small closed tears, small chips to spine ends, minor soiling to rear panel.
Winner of Le Prix du Roman Populiste and a bestseller in France, though scarcely found in the United States. Rochefort demonstrates feminist elements, satire and utopian idealism in her scathing critique of modern living.
